NFF sets record straight on U15 National Team coaches

By Daily Sports on July 28, 2017

The Nigeria Football Federation has decried a publication which claimed its chieftains had not only handpicked coaches for the U15 National Team, but had also gone ahead to ‘share coaching positions in the various National Teams among their friends and cronies.

Chairman of the NFF Technical and Development Committee, Barrister Chris Green, frowned at the said report, saying that at no time of recent had any member of the NFF Executive Committee or Management forwarded names of coaches to him as an individual, or the Technical and Development Committee as a body, for employment into any of the National Teams.

“At the last meeting of the NFF Technical and Development Committee, a decision was taken to advertise the coaching positions in the U17 men and women National Teams, U20 men and women National Teams, the U23 men’s team and the Senior Women National Team (Super Falcons). A public notice to that effect has been prepared and will be published in two national newspapers in a matter of days.“

As for the U15 National Team, that team and the U13 National Team are NOT full National Teams in the real and active sense of the word, as they do not participate in any FIFA, CAF or WAFU competitions. They are GRASSROOTS projects for the discovery of talents into the main National Teams.

”Green said the Technical and Development Committee decided at its last meeting to empanel a number of coaches to take charge of the U15 National Team for an upcoming tour of Morocco, where the team will play a couple of friendly matches.
