NFF Searches For New Coach For Golden Eaglets –
The Nigeria Football Federation has put up an advert on its website, calling for candidates to fill the position of coach for the U-17 men’s team, the Golden Eaglets. Nduka Ugbade, the first captain to lift the World Cup at that category was the last coach that handled the team.
Just as the NFF is looking for a coach for the Super Eagles, it is also doing the same for the Golden Eaglets.
The call for the filling position reads: “Are you passionate about youth development and coaching? The Golden Eaglet, Nigeria’s U17 Boys National Team, are seeking a dedicated and experienced coach to nurture young talent and guide them to success on the international stage.
The requirements from the applicants include showing of adequate experience at developing and coaching youth football and ability to motivate and help players improve in addition to having a CAF B license coaching certificate.
Days ago, former Nigerian youth player and Green Eagles players said he was interested in becoming a coach to one of Nigeria’s youth teams. He led the Flying Eagles to third place at the 1985 edition of what is now called the FIFA U-20 World Cup.
On Friday, football legend, Zinedine Zidane had his profile further raised as he was the first of the galaxy of stars to step out at the never-to-be-forgotten Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024.
The French football and Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane launched the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with movie star Jamel Debbouze. Some beautiful images for these historic Olympics in France.
It is well known that the founder of the Olympic Games is a French man, Pierre de Coubertin who was a champion of sport in education. In 1894 he proposed a revival of the Olympic Games. Now his country is hosting the Games.
The address of the President of the Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, Tony Estanguet, made a passing connection to the France and the Games.
In his speech, he thanked the “lovers of the Games”. Despite the rain, he reminded everyone that ‘France and the Olympic Games are a great love story.
In his speech, Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, hailed Paris as the first Olympic Games to fully respect ‘gender parity in competition’.
French President Emmanuel Macron then declared the Paris Olympic Games open, with the Eiffel Tower in the background, uttering the protocol formula that officially marks the opening of the Olympic fortnight.
“I declare the Paris Games open, the 33rd Olympic Games of the modern era,” he declared during the opening ceremony, after speeches by Tony Estanguet, patron of the Paris 2024 organisation, and Bach.

Cancelled Eurostar train services from London to Paris, and other local services within France, have left hundreds of thousands of attendees of the Paris Olympic Games in the limbo of uncertainty.
Even as I am also stranded until the security measures are lifted, there are ‘eyes’ over the Olympics and the city of Paris that reveal that the excitement over, probably, the most romantic Olympic Games in history, is unscathed, buzzing and alive all over France.
