whose description can center around development programmes, and dealing with
clubs’ youth groups and licensed academies towards developing the sport from
the grassroots.
“Current
peer coach Salisu Yusuf also will be within the new team, however with bigger
devotion to the home-based team, otherwise called Super Eagles B, and can be
the interface between the technical crew and therefore the home boys.”

pattern and training philosophy for all the national groups, and can for this

‘’There
will be workshops and coaching clinics for Nigerian coaches. The Eagles’
coaches will be touring Nigeria to watch league matches and not like in the
recent past when our national coaches failed to monitor our leagues. We are
initiating so many things that will help our football. We will develop the game
and also aim to present a good team for the next World cup. I can see a bright
future’’.
