Posted : 25 July 2025
The Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation has approved the recommendation of the Federation’s Technical and Development Sub-Committee for the appointment of Manu Garba, as Head Coach of the U17 Boys National Team, Golden Eaglets.
Garba was Head Coach of the U-17 Boys that won the FIFA U-17 World Cup trophy for Nigeria in the United Arab Emirates in 2013, and has also led the team on two occasions since then.
Aduku is highly respected in women football coaching circles, having led Bayelsa Queens and Edo Queens football clubs with distinction in recent years. Both Garba and Aduku will officially resume on Sunday, as their different teams have important upcoming engagements.
