The Nigeria Football Federation has revealed that plans are
underway to immortalize legendary Nigerian coaches
Shuaibu Amodu and Stephen Keshi who both passed away
in June.
NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi reiterated
this while receiving in his office on Thursday, the newly –
appointed National Technical Director, Mr. Bitrus Bewarang
who will replace Amodu who was Technical director of the
NFF before his death.
“The NFF is liasing with the Government through the
Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports, with regards
to the immortalization of the two icons of our
football who died last month. Both men contributed
immensely to the development of Nigeria football
and will never be forgotten.
“The NFF Board has immense confidence in your
person that you will be able to fit quite well into the
shoes left by late Coach Amodu and perhaps come
up with great ideas to enhance the workings of the
Technical department,” Sanusi told Bewarang, who
is president of the Nigeria Football Coaches
Association in a statement released by theNFF.com.
Amodu has since been buried according to Muslim
rites while Stephen Keshi will be buried on July 29.
