Despite the long list of qualified coaches across the world who indicated an interest in handling the Nigeria U-17 national team, the Board ofGarba had, in the same role, led the Golden Eaglets to win the FIFA U17 World Cup for Nigeria in the United Arab Emirates in 2013 – Nigeria’s fourth triumph at that stage.

The squad, which finished as runners-up at the African U17 Championship in Morocco after a penalty shootout defeat by Cote d’Ivoire, defeated Mexico 6-1 in their opening game, drew 3-3 with Sweden and hammered Iraq 5-0. However, Garba’s subsequent stints with the U-20 team and a return to the Golden Eaglets in 2019 have failed to produce the same level of success he managed to achieve over a decade ago.
