Following a recent meeting with the club’s management, Head Coach of Plateau United Mbwas Mangut, and his technical team, has been given an ultimatum to salvage the team’s dwindling fortunes within the next three matches according to football journalist MikeThePundit.

The trigger for this decision was Plateau United’s 1-1 draw against Shooting Stars at the New Stadium, Zaria Road on Sunday. The result left the team languishing in 15th place on the NPFL table, with 24 points from 22 matches.

Plateau United are currently only two points ahead of Bendel Insurance, who have two games in hand and have played 20 matches so far. This precarious position has prompted the club’s management to take drastic measures to avoid relegation.

The three-match ultimatum handed to Mbwas Mangut and his technical team will be a daunting task, as they face off against formidable opponents. Their next three matches will pit them against Niger Tornadoes, who are currently eighth on the table, El Kanemi Warriors, who occupy fifth place, and high-flying Ikorodu City, who are sixth.

To compound matters, two of these matches will be played away from home, where Plateau United have been woefully inconsistent this season, with no wins and only three draws in 11 matches. This dismal away record underscores the enormity of the challenge facing Mangut and his team.

The decision to issue an ultimatum to Mbwas Mangut and his technical team is a desperate bid to inspire a fight against relegation. With the team’s current position, the management is hoping that this drastic measure will galvanize the players and coaching staff into action.

The next three matches will be a litmus test for Mangut’s tactical acumen and his team’s resilience, and it remains to be seen whether they can rise to the challenge and avoid the drop.
