What appears another self-inflicted disaster for Nigerian football occurred yesterday in far away South Korea, as the nation’s U-17 male team suffered their worst defeat in history, losing 8-1 to England at the Suwon Continental Cup tournament. Again, the team is being tutored by Coach Manu Garba, who recently failed to qualify the Golden Eaglets for the 2017 CAF U-17 Africa Cup of Nations. The Golden Eaglets will not be defending their World title next year, as coach Garba-led team bowed to the Baby Menas of Niger Republic 3-1 in the U-17 African qualifier in August. After that shock exit, many Nigerians were expecting the Amaju Pinnick-led NFF to do away with coach Manu Garba, but that did not happen. It was learnt that after collecting appearance fees money from organisers of the Suwon International tournament, the NFF called on Coach Garba, who hurriedly assembled players from various grassroots clubs and academies in the country for the tourney in South Korea.
