Super Eagles Striker, Ujah gets Botev PD of Bulgaria Management Role

Published

on

Imagine being actively playing professional football in Europe and your club already has management offer for you, that is the fortune of Super Eagles striker, Anthony Ujah.

Ujah, the top striker of Botev PD of Bulgaria will receive an offer to take up position at the club after hanging his boots.
The former Warri Wolves attacker is currently recovering from a serious injury he sustained in the second leg against Panathinaikos of Greece in the second qualifying round of the Europa League. 

The 33-year-old footballer tore a tendon and underwent surgery. He will certainly be out of the game until the end of the autumn part of the campaign. 

Anthony Uja was signed in the summer as a free agent after being released by German second division side Eintracht Braunschweig. The top scorer started his career with the yellow and black in an excellent way. In his debut against Maribor (2:1) at “College”, the Nigerian scored a goal and made an assist. He signed on in the rematch with the Slovenians and helped the team continue to the next phase. 

However, the vast experience of Ujah playing his trade across three continents of Africa, Europe and Asia( he played in China at a time), his great knowledge of the game in the management as regards to African players and his top notch professionalism are the qualities that endeared Botev PD to offer him a step into a career at football management position.

Botev’s idea is for Uja to help the inclusion of young African footballers who are attracted to the club, writes “Tema sport”. The goal is their development and then sale. This is the model imposed on the canaries since the arrival of the new owner, Anton Zingarevich. 

“Anthony is at a level both on and off the field. He shows our young African players how they need to work. And what they need to do to get to his level. That’s why he will probably stay in Botev even after the end of his career,” said the sports director of the yellow and black team, Artur Platek, in an interview with goal.pl. 

The Polish boss is currently working on another incoming transfer. Canaries coach Dusan Kerkez wants a winger after Umeh Emmanuel was sold. Umeh was very prominent for the Flying Eagles at the 2023 FIFA U- 20 World Cup in Argentina.

And by the time the market closes, a deal could also be done for Samuel Akere. Botev has targeted a Brazilian winger, but it wouldn’t be a surprise to see an African player taken.

So, Ujah will be interfacing between Botev PD and the numerous football clubs/ academies in Nigeria and Africa in the transfer of greatly talented young footballers to the European for their continued development in the round leather game and future sale to other top clubs in Europe.
