Barau orders backroom staff to reapply in sweeping restructuring drive

Barau Football Club has directed all its backroom staff to vacate their positions and reapply, as the club intensifies a far-reaching restructuring exercise ahead of the new phase of the season.

The directive, contained in an internal circular issued on Wednesday, January 1, 2026, instructed all affected staff to comply without exception, stressing that the decision forms part of management’s efforts to reposition the club for improved performance.

According to the circular signed by the club’s management, the move is aimed at reviewing the effectiveness of the technical and support departments, with a view to retaining only personnel capable of meeting the club’s renewed targets and professional standards.

The decision comes barely two days after Barau FC asked its head coach, Ladan Isa Bosso, to step aside from his role following a disappointing run of results that fell short of expectations.

In a related development, the club has also released 18 players from its squad, citing low productivity and the need to refresh the team with more competitive options as part of the ongoing overhaul.

With these decisive steps, Barau FC management has signalled a no-nonsense approach to rebuilding the club, making it clear that future appointments—both on and off the pitch—will be based strictly on merit, performance and alignment with the club’s long-term vision.
