FOLLOWING the failure of the National Under 23 Team to qualify for the U-23 AFCON and the quarter-final exit of the Golden Eaglets at the just concluded CAF U-17 tournament, the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has sacked coach Salisu Yusuf and Nduka Ugbade.
Yusuf and Ugbade were axed due to their teams’ woeful performances.
Because the U-23 team failed to qualify for the U-23 African Cup of Nations, they would not be featuring in the football event of the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.
Likewise, Ugbade’s Golden Eaglets also crashed out of the U-17 African Cup of Nations in the
World Cup.
