According to a statement by the Jos club, the experienced Baraje was booted out due to a run of poor results, adding that there was “a communication gap between the coach, his assistants and the players” .
Baraje was in his third spell at Plateau and has handled various other clubs including Enyimba, Nasarawa United and Akwa United.
Plateau, who were held to a 1-1 draw at home on Sunday by El Kanemi, are back in the Nigeria top flight after five seasons in the lower league.
They are 13th on the league table with 21 points. Wickadason has been promoted from the club’s youth team.
