Coach Kadiri Ikhana has admitted that he is still shocked over his sack by Enyimba, after leading the club to a record seventh league title.
The former Kano Pillars manager, was dismissed after finishing the last Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) campaign with 70 points from 38 matches.
Ikhana, who was awared CAF Coach of the Year in 2003, says he is not in a rush to get a new job.
“I have decided not to rush things because I never planned for what befell me at Enyimba which remains a rude shock,” Ikhana told Supersport.com.
“I want to re-examine all over again the whole experience to see where I got it wrong though it has been really difficult laying hand on any fault committed while on the saddle.
“The closest I have come to fault myself were the few times we had arguments on the job, which is normal; outside that, I do not think I did anything wrong.
“Though I’m getting over the shock right now I still want to relax a bit before I give any club my word for the upcoming league season.
“Of course, there have been clubs rushing to have me on their bench but I do not want to rush any decision.
“If I say what happened at Enyimba did not touch my heart, then I’m a liar so I need the whole time to make a commitment.
“Right now what is uppermost on my mind is the upcoming three-day coaching seminar in Ghana next month, I need the refresher course as well as to further calm and stabilise myself for the task ahead.”
