The General Manager of the club, Abubakar Abubakar, confirmed Ganaru’s resignation but failed to provide details on why the coach resigned in the middle of the season.
However, sources in Gombe have said the resignation of the embattled coach was connected to lack of funds and other logistics to run the club.
According to a reliable source, the coach resigned on Wednesday citing poor funding by the state government, which according to him had become unbearable for his team.
