THE Board of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has appointed former U17 World Cup winner, Manu Garba, as Head Coach of the Nigeria U17 boys, Golden Eaglets.
This was announced in a statement in Abuja on Friday, April 12 by the Director of Communications at NFF, Ademola Olajire.
Garba had, in the same role, led the Golden Eaglets to win the FIFA U17 World Cup for Nigeria in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2013.
His squad, which included Kelechi Iheanacho, Taiwo Awoniyi, Isaac Success, Musa Mohammed, Chidiebere Nwakali and Dele Alampasu, finished as runners-up at the African U17 Championship in Morocco after a penalty shootout.
Olajire said Garba would resume immediately and take charge of the team’s preparations for the WAFU B U17 Championship scheduled for Ghana in May this year.
