Keshi goes to school

CAF 'B' LICENSE COACHING COURSE

SUPER EAGLES’ Head Coach Steven Keshi will be among the 80 Nigerian Coaches to attend the CAF 'B' License Coaching Course holding between March 11-24 2012.

Revealing this exclusively to NationSport, the Big Boss said:  "Since the license is part of training and grading the coaches in Nigeria, I think it would be a singular privilege for me to be part of it. It would also give me the opportunity to rub minds with other experienced coaches to know the trends in game. It would be rare privilege."

He confirmed to NationSport that he would arrive Abuja at the weekend, to fully join in the program.

Speaking in Abuja, Ikpeme said the programme, which comes five months after the much-publicised CAF 'C' License course, will involve 80 Nigerian coaches.

"We are happy to announce that the Confederation of African Football has given us the go-ahead to hold the CAF B License Course, which our coaches have been so eagerly awaiting. We are already putting finishing touches to our preparation to have the programme and all those who passed the CAF C License programme are duly qualified.

"Also, we have reached out to all those who will be serving as instructors for the programme, and I can tell you that everything is on course," stated Ikpeme.

A total of 60 coaches will be taking part in the two-week course for the CAF B License programme, while 20 coaches will partake in the one-week CAF B Equivalent for senior trainers.

Nigeria's FIFA Technical Advisor, Adegboye Onigbinde and former NFF Technical Director, Dr Kashimawo Laloko are among the instructors for the course.
