[b][size=14pt]AMUNEKE STAYS AS U17 COACH, MANU FOR U20S[/size] Emmanuel Amuneke has retained his post as coach of the Nigeria U17 team after he led the Golden Eaglets to win a fifth FIFA World Cup in Chile, while Manu Garba will keep his job as U20 coach. Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) 1st vice-president Seyi Akinwunmi announced this Wednesday night at a dinner in Abuja specially organised to welcome the victorious Eaglets on their return from Chile. It was already reported that Amuneke will keep his job win or lose in the final of the U17 World Cup against Mali after the team’s fine run at Chile 2015. Officials informed that the automatic promotion of coaches from the U17 to U20 teams has failed to yield the necessary results and so the need for these coaches to consolidate their experience at their various duty posts in the first instance. The next U17 World Cup will be staged in India. http://africanfootball.com/news/584543/Amuneke-stays-as-U17-coach-Manu-for-U20s[/b] 1 Like |

Well, There's no Nigerian U-13/U-15 thread... So this will do. #smiles. This is about Lateef Omidiji Jnr, a rising star prodigy, Younger brother to Sophia Omidiji (a Nigerian women U-20 International-- Super Falconets). ......................................................................................... LATEEF OMIDIJI JR.: MEET THE 12-YEAR-OLD PRODIGY THAT COULD SPARK A BIDDING WAR BETWEEN NIGERIA AND THE US By Lolade Adewuyi 02:25 EXCLUSIVES The FC Dordrecht U-14 striker is a potential Super Eagle but he is taking it one step at a time as he hopes to emulate his heroes Yekini, Amokachi, Okocha and Adepoju one day. Lateef Omidiji Jr comes highly recommended. The 12-year-old US-born striker currently plays for the Under-14 team of Netherlands second division side Dordrecht FC. However, he already has a place reserved for him in the Nigeria U15 side based on first hand scouting by its coach Danladi Nasidi. Coach Nasidi traveled to the US to watch him play in 2014 and came out of the experience knowing he had something on his hands. “He has speed, focus, the technique is so good, the tactical approach is fine and he has the physical ability. These things combine to make a good footballer,” Nasidi told Goal. “He’s a small boy and if he comes to play for Nigeria, it will be good for Nigeria,” he declared. Perhaps not every 12-year-old gets to be spoken so highly of at his age. Lateef Jr. is currently leading scoring at his youth side despite being two years younger than his teammates and opponents. He told Goal that he would like to represent Nigeria someday like his heroes Rasheed Yekini, Daniel Amokachi, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha and Mutiu Adepoju, players he grew up watching on home video tapes with his father and grandfather. “Although I have received interest from USA Football,” Lateef Jr. told Goal, “my heart lies with my fatherland and I'm hopeful of a call up from the coach Nasidi-led U13s/U15s this year.” Coach Nasidi is keenly following the development of the prodigy, something he must stay alerted to as there seems to be a lot of eyes. “Many countries are interested in him, but since I’m monitoring his activities, I want to make sure we get hold of him before any other country,” Nasidi said. His father also wants him to play for Nigeria despite the interest from the United States and its alluring potentials. “I love my nation and I put that love of Nigeria in my kids very early. I tell them you are not just American, you're Nigerian-American,” Mr Omidiji told Goal. Sophia, Lateef Jr.'s older sister was called up to the Nigeria U20 Women's team in 2015. "He has received an invite from the Nigerian U13/U15 coach who watched him play and was impressed with his eye for goal, speed and technique. He is also quite strong which is why he has always played 1-2 years up in age groups to get challenged,” he said. For now, Lateef Jr. continues to develop his skills in the Dutch system where he hopes to keep getting the kind of challenge that would make him a top player in future. “Since coming to the Netherlands, they have turned me into a more versatile player so coming from the United States as a number 9, they've taught me how to play 7, 8, 9 and 10 so I can play four positions,” Lateef Jr. said. “Right wing, left wing, center mid and striker, they call me speedy here in Holland because of my speed but what I'm most proud about is my technical ability. “I am proud to be able to combine my natural Nigerian style with what I learned in America and what I'm now learning in the Netherlands.” m.goal.com/s/en-ng/news/4078/exclusives/2016/01/24/19631892/lateef-omidiji-jr-meet-the-12-year-old-prodigy-that-could 3 Likes 2 Shares |

We do not need to pursue him. We know he is Nigerian. |

Let the Journey to the land of Gandhi begin..... Nigeria's next set of Super soccer talents tutored by the Amuneke-led crew is set to emerge. ......................................................................................... U17 AFCON QUALIFIERS: EAGLETS DRAW NIGER, ALGERIA, GABON LURKING U17 world champions Nigeria will begin another continental quest when they face next-door neigbours Niger in a second round qualifier in August, but their qualifying pool also has Algeria, Libya and Gabon. Algeria and Libya will do battle in the first round between June and July, before they face Gabon in the second round in August. The overall winners will then battle the winners of the clash between Nigeria and Niger in September to determine the qualifier for the tournament to be staged by Madagascar in April 2017. The top four teams in Madagascar will represent Africa at the 2017 U17 World Cup in India. africanfootball.com//news/610735/U17-AFCON-qualifiers-Eaglets-draw-Niger-Algeria-Gabon-lurking 2 Likes 1 Share |

I really hope to see Another Amuneke and Kabiru Baleria combo for our U-17s. With Emeka Amadi as Goalie trainer. Though it seems the NFF is yet to neither confirm nor deny this. The NFF haven't even appointed a substantive coach for The Super Falcons, AFRICA'S REIGNING CHAMPS WHO GOT AWC QUALIFIERS COMING UP SOON AHEAD OF CAMEROUN 2016 CAF AWC. I don't know what else to say about the NFF. But our football shall surely survive and somehow, keep growing. BlackAlbino6: 2 Likes |

africanfootball.com//news/612146/Amuneke-leads-Flying-Eagles-Manu-drops-to-U17s Manu Garba-led technical/coaching crew (Manu, Nduka Ugbade, Fancy Ewulu, and Co) for Nigeria's U-17 Golden Eaglets Class of 2017. Emmanuel Amuneke-led technical/coaching crew (Amuneke, Kabiru Baleria, Emeka Amadi and Co) for Nigeria's U-20 Flying Eagles Class of 2017. So happy with the prospects of this little adjustment which fits my earlier described Manu-Amuneke rotation. With The U-23s having a top age-grade coach like Samson Siasia, The Next Super Golden generation is gonna take even better shape. Just hope the coaches @ the apex of our football in the Super Eagles hit the right notes. We have a new super golden generation to welcome in here.... Let's make the integration channels suitable and the atmosphere great to nurture them to elite stardom. 1 Like |

After Manu's initial rejection of the U-17 post, his turn-around decision, and then refusal by the NFF to take him back and were said to be considering other options like Maikaba of Wikki Tourists.... MANU IS FINALLY U-17 HEAD COACH AGAIN. HOPE THIS IS THE FINAL STRAW IN THIS DRAMA....... ......................................................................................... HOW MANU GOT BACK U17 JOB AFTER INITIAL REJECTION Manu Garba had to fight tooth and nail to be named new Nigeria U17 coach after he had first rejected the post, it has been specially learnt. It was gathered that Manu first told the NFF executive committee he was not interested in dropping down from the U20s to the Golden Eaglets. But it seemed it was an impulsive response to his demotion and after he spoke with some top NFF officials, he later reach out to the NFF technical committee chairman, Chris Green, to say he will now take up the new role. Green will tell Manu that his new position was “too late” as the NFF have moved swiftly to get his replacement. Top NFF officials will later sound out Wikki Tourists coach Audu Maikaba. They would even tell him who will be his assistants. However, Manu continued to press for his re- instatement, calling on several top officials to reconsider him for a post many have considered belittling for a man who a few months ago was being considered to succeed Stephen Keshi as Eagles coach. And so in another dramatic volte face, the NFF announced Manu as head coach of the Golden Eaglets late on Thursday. Manu will now be assisted by Atuni Ali and Ernest Teigpanyo. The Golden Eaglets will in a few months begin the qualification series for the 2017 African U17 Championship, which will be hosted by Madagascar. africanfootball.com//news/612589/How-Manu-got-back-U17-job-after-initial-rejection 1 Like |

Danycrusoe: The strategy we have been adopting that earned us d last 2 U17 titles is we have national U13 & U15 teams with a coaching crew. The U15s are promoted to U17 while d U13 are promoted to d U15. The next set of U17 have already been together since U13. However, the coaching crew will also give opportunities to other players hu were nt part of the U13/U15 set-up. Bt one thing is certain: even if the qualifiers are to start next week, we already have our team in place Manu or no Manu. 1 Like |

EXCLUSIVE: MANU GARBA HIT ABA FOR U-17 SCREENING ......................................................................................... Head coach of Nigeria U-17 team Manu Garba will be in Aba, Abia State Nigeria to conduct a three day screening exercise to scout for players for his next U-17 team. Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal that the soft spoken coach will also visit Nnewi in Anambra state on his scouting mission, a move a close source said is connected to his desire to do well with the U-17. “He is in Aba already and that is his first point of call in the East as he has heard a lot about the talent base of the team” He told owngoalnigeria.com. ”Coach Manu will also visit Nnewi and Enugu all in his bid to search for players from all the nook and cranny of Nigeria, he will get to Lagos but that might be the last lap of his tour”. The coach who led Nigeria to the U-17 trophy in 2013 is hoping to reenact the feat after failing with the U-20 at the last World Youth Championship in New Zealand that lead to his demotion to the U-17. ......................................................................................... owngoalnigeria.com/2016/03/07/exclusive-manu-garba-hit-aba-for-u-17-screening/ 1 Like |
