The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has confirmed key changes in the technical leadership of its youth national teams, appointing Abdu Maikaba as head coach of the Flying Eagles and Eboboritse Uwejamomere as head coach of the Golden Eaglets.
The Nigeria Football Federation announced that Abdu Maikaba will now lead the Flying Eagles, taking over from Aliyu Zubairu, who guided the team through recent continental and global competitions.
