The Executive Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation has endorsed the recommendation of the Federation’s Technical and Development Committee for the appointments of Abdu Maikaba and Eboboritse Uwejamomere as head coaches of the U20 and U17 Boys National Teams.
Maikaba, who has managed several of Nigeria’s prestigious clubs, has also previously coached the U17 Boys’ National Team, known as Golden Eaglets. He was the assistant coach of the U20 Boys, Flying Eagles, during the period Paul Aigbogun served as head coach.
The soft-spoken tactician has served time with top-of-the-range teams Enyimba FC, Wikki Tourists, Kano Pillars and Plateau United, and famously led Akwa United FC to win the oldest and most prestigious football competition in the land (now known as the President’s Federation Cup) in 2017.
Eboboritse Uwejamomere, the new head coach of the five-time world champions, the Golden Eaglets, has served as a coach-analyst with the senior men’s national team, the Super Eagles, for many years.
He is presently the head of academy at wave-making Sporting Lagos FC, which recently gained promotion back to the NPFL, and has worked as an analyst with the senior women’s national team, Super Falcons, as well as an academy youth development coach at Millwall FC, Gillingham FC, and Nottingham Forest FC in England.
He was also the head coach at Abeokuta-based Stormers FC.
