Igbeka, Ukadike canvass support for Amodu

FOR Nigeria to excel at the forthcoming Angola 2010 Africa Nations Cup, the Shaibu Amodu-led coaching crew must be given all the materials needed to build a strong team for the country, former internationals, Nicholas Ukadike and Micky Igbeka have told the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Ukadike and Igbeka believe the retention of indigenous coaches for the Super Eagles ahead of the Nations Cup and World Cup campaigns would make for good outings at both tourneys. They told The Guardian on Wednesday that the current coaches were better equipped to tinker the national team than any new coach that might be brought in with less than six months to the World Cup.
