Iroha interested
Former assistant coach of Nigeria Olympic team Ben Iroha has applied to lead the country’s U20 team, the Flying Eagles.
A top official informed MTNFootball.com that the former international left back dropped a late application before heading to the United States of America for the Christmas holidays with his family.
“Iroha submitted an application for the vacant Flying Eagles position. His application is late but that would be for the technical committee to decide,” the official said.
Iroha was part of the backroom staff of the victorious U17 world champions under late coach Yemi Tella in 2007.
He was also a member of the technical team of the Dream Team V who failed to qualify for the London 2012 Olympics.
The Nigeria Football Federation have apparently thrown open the Flying Eagles top position on the expiration of John Obuh’s contract.
Obuh led the junior Eagles to African Youth Championship glory in 2011 in South Africa, but crashed out in the quarterfinals to France at the FIFA U20 World Cup in Colombia.
