Founder and President of Football Coaches Association of African Nations (FCAAN), Dr. Terry Babatunde Eguaoje has been warned to stay clear of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) job if he wants his integrity intact.

The former chairman of Gombe Football Association (FA), Ahmed Shuaibu Gara-Gombe, gave the advice in a chat with LEADERSHIP Sports, saying the USA based Dr. Eguaoje, who have conducted several FIFA, UEFA and CAF sanctioned coaching courses in US, Africa, and part of the world, would be messed up should he accepts an offer from NFF to serve as their consultant for coaches.

The former scribe of the defunct Nigerian Football Stakeholders Forum (NFSF), questioned the genuineness of NFF in engage FCAAN president after signed MOU with a football coaching clinic organization, Berackiah/ABIGOL Grassroots Coaching Clinic to help develop the skills of coaches in Nigeria’s Nationwide League One (NLO).

According to him, I’ve known the president of FCAAN, Dr. Terry Eguaoje, based in the United State, for some time now and he has been conducting coaching courses and programs approved by FIFA, UEFA, and CAF for the United State Soccer Federation and other Federations across the world.

I understand, he has conducted over 700 coaching courses in the last seven years and NFF wants to bring him as consultant coaches. But my advice for Dr. Terry is that he should not take that job. They would mess him up,” Gara-Gombe warned.

“If the founder of FCAAN, the Football Coaches Association of African Nations is coming to Nigeria to conduct Coaching courses for coaches, then, why is Berackiah going around to do the same thing. Which direction, syllabus, program certificate will be produced by Bereckiah, and will FIFA, UEFA, or CAF sanction the certificates?

“The whole thing looks clumsy because the leadership of the Nigerian Football Coaches Association (NFCA) doesn’t know their right and responsibility. NFCA is an affiliate of NFF and a member of the congress. It is supposed to be a strong voice in Nigeria’s football, but when you have a stooge as a president of the association, what do you expect, nothing. If the leader of an association is not performing how then do you expect him or her to encourage others to do well. Leadership is the barometer that every other member of the organization to follow.
