Adams Mohammed was there, in fact he had a permanent seat, Shira and Kumbi were there to influence Manu Garba, ” the top source told <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />“There were other agents I can<span class="body1"><span class="body1">’t identify all of them that I saw at the Fifa Goal Project. To a large extent I respect Amuneke, he has decorum. <br /><br /></span></span>“During the U20 screening, these agents were not there, he was very strict but the Golden Eaglets was a funfair. ”<br /><br />He added : “The U17 is doomed to fail if Manu continues coaching the team, the screening was a charade.<br /><br />“The problem Manu has is that he has been exposed. His former assistants Amuneke and Ugbade were the ones doing the work.”<br /><br />World champions at U17 level, Nigeria will tackle Niger Republic in the second round of the 2017 Africa U-17 Cup of Nations qualifiers in August.<br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br /><br />Photo Credit : fifa.com<br />
