According to the former Super Eagles star,  Howard’s contract with the team expired and the Oluyole Warriors did not see any reason to renew his contract. “Howard was not sacked. His contract ran out and we wanted a more experienced coach to lead the team in the elite division. It was a management decision”, he said.
