Nigerian Coaches Mourn Amodu Shuaibu

The President of the Nigerian Football Coaches Association (NFCA) Bitrus Bewarang has described the death of another of his strong member Shuaibu Amodu as another deadly blow that will be very difficult for the Nigerian Coaches and Football Family to comprehend.

The former Plateau United General Manager who described Shuaibu Amodu as an “ICON in the coaching Profession in Nigeria” said

“Imagine we have not finished mourning one of our Great Coaches Stephen Keshi, and within four days the news of the death of Coach Shuaibu Amodu is coming as a “Tornado” to us.

“The achievements of Coach Shuaibu Amodu in Coaching can not quantified in this country. He loved the Coaching profession, and stood solidly to ensure that no one relegates the indigenous coaches to the background.

“The incidence of these few days should re-awaken our consciousness on the need to fully lay more emphasis on the development of our football  and the welfare of the coaches and players.

“The demise of these our two strong members within the same week, calls for immediate prayers for us, and our families. God Almighty would console all  of us and may his soul rest in perfect peace.

“I call on the Edo State and Federal Government to immortalize him. His passion for the game of  football and profession should be emulated by all his colleagues.

“His hard work and ability to give results  anytime he is given an assignment should also be emulated by his colleagues”.
