“Reward Me Here On Earth!” – Obuh Demands Coaches Be Honored While They Live

Former U-17 and U-20 Coach, John Obuh has admonished the football authorities in the Country to celebrate Coaches and care for their welfare in their life and not after they die.

Obuh, who is currently the head coach of Nigeria National League side, Kwara United spoke with footballlive.ng on the neglect of coaches and former athletes whose death draw sympathizers but were not given much recognition in their life time.

Nigeria football was thrown into mourning last week when news of former national team Managers, Stephen Keshi and Amodu Shuaibu broke. The deaths came three days apart and amidst tributes being paid the icons, commitments have been made by the NFF as well as the Federal Government to immortalize them.
