My coaching experience will reshape Golden Eaglets, says Akuneto

Determined to restore the country's lost glory and reposition Nigeria at the pinnacle of youth football globally, Chuks Akuneto believes the National U-17 team, the Golden Eaglets, will be transformed into a talent production hub, if he gets the job.

“I’m interested in managing the National U-17 team. I have applied for the job while I wait for the due process to take its course,” he said.. “I have got lots of knowledge, experience, and qualifications when it comes to age-grade football. More importantly, my hunger pang is geared towards changing the fortune of cadet football in Nigeria. We have never lacked personnel and talents but the missing link has been the slow progression of players from the youth sides to the senior side.

Team Nigeria’s men’s handball side, which defeated Togo on Wednesday in their opening game of the event at the ongoing African Games in Ghana, will meet their Malian counterparts in their second game of the competition. The Nigeria Football Federation is back in the rancorous round of shopping for a suitable manager for the Super Eagles, following the exit of Coach Jose Peseiro.Rio 2016 Olympics bronze medal-winning coach, Samson Siasia, who is serving a five-year ban from FIFA, and former CHAN Eagles manager, Salisu Yusuf, who also served a one-year ban from the world football governing body, are among 10 coaches that have applied to replace Jose Peseiro as Super Eagles’ coach.
