Should the position of the NFF technical committee be respected, both Manu Garba and Nduka Ugbade will not return to their former jobs as head coach of the Golden Eaglets.
Both Manu and Ugbade have applied to lead the country’s U17 team again.
Manu has since 2005 been involved with the Eaglets and even led them to win a fourth FIFA U17 World Cup in 2013.

“If they don’t want to move on, we as a country ought to.
“Why couldn’t they apply for the Super Eagles position?
“There is a need for a fresh break at the top of this team.”
