Late Shuaibu Amodu |
Coming barely a week after the death of Stephen Keshi.
Mr. Amodu, a four-time coach of the national team, passed on on Friday night shortly after complaining of chest pain, the NFF said in a post on its Twitter handle. He was 58.
Amodu and Keshi were close friends and they worked as head coach and assistant coach of the Super Eagles to the 2002 Africa Cup of Nations where they finished third.
Amodu has managed a number of club sides in Nigeria, such as BCC Lions, El kanji Warriors, Shooting Stars; and he also managed the South African team, Orlando Pirates.
