The newly constituted technical crew of the Golden Eaglets will be headed by the highly respected Maikaba who led Akwa United to their second Cup triumph in three years in the final in Lagos last month.

Maikaba’s first assistant in charge of the five-time World Champions is his opponent in the October 15 AITEO Cup final, Abubakar Bala who manages Nigeria Professional Football League side, Niger Tornadoes.

The duo will work together with Bunmi Haruna who is the second assistant coach and Olatunji Baruwa who will serve as Goalkeepers’ trainer.
