An official of the nigerian football federation (nff) has said media hype will not get ex-international, Ben Iroha, the Nigeria U20 team top coaching post.
Ben Iroha on Thursday officially dropped his application indicating interest for the position vacated by John Sam Obuh.
“We know his antecedents as assistant coach in some of the national teams,” said the top official of the NFF who is also a member of the NFF technical committee.
“We know he is trying to use the media to get the job but go and tell him we know him better than the media.”
Iroha has worked as assistant coach with both the Nigeria U17 and U23 teams.
MTNFootball.com investigations reveal that the football house after being impressed with the work been done by the Manu Garba-led Golden Eaglets are nursing the idea of graduating one of the coaches from the team to the Flying Eagles.
Obuh stepped down as Flying Eagles coach after he failed to get the team past the Round of 16 at the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup in Turkey recently.
