Akwa United have been without a head coach following the departure of Abdu Maikaba to Plateau United at the expiration of his two-year deal, but Bassey admitted finding a suitable replacement for Maikaba has been tasking.
He added: “Finding a coach in Nigeria could be difficult. Nearly every coach in this country want to coach Akwa United, even within the state (Akwa Ibom).
"We received many applications. But as a team, we have already decided that we will not sign a coach that has duty with any national team, because we can’t afford to stay weeks without him, especially in an abridged league season."
