We are working on immortalizing Shuaibu Amodu & Stephen Keshi- NFF says
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.
