FIFA Technical Centre, National Stadium Complex, Abuja.
Shehu Dikko, NFF 2nd Vice President/LMC Chairman, who declared the course open on Thursday promised that the football governing body is now ready to implement all aspects of Club Licensing provisions, including that which forbids coaches without CAF License working with top tier clubs.
“As from next season, Coaches without the B-License will not be able to sit on the bench as Head Coaches of NPFL teams.
Those who do not have a minimum of C-License cannot be assistant coaches. We will start from there and go higher in the years to come.
“The present NFF administration will continue to build the capacity of coaches because we have such high regard for them. Apart from the capacity –building programs we have had for coaches at home and abroad, we have also taken coaches on special training with regards to the Prozone software, which, I can assure you, is helping the work of the National Team coaches.”
Chief Adegboye Onigbinde will supervise the course with other resource persons like former National Team Coaches James Peters and Kashimawo Laloko, NFF Technical Director and former Super Eagles’ coach Amodu Shaibu, former NFF General Secretary and FIFA Match Commissioner Bolaji Ojo-Oba and FIFA advisor on refereeing Mr Linus Mba.
