Fall-out of African U-17 ouster: Dike's boys still useful –Iroha


FORMER Super Eagles defender Ben Iroha plans retain most of the failed Golden Eaglets players if given contracted to coach the national cadet national team.

The Eaglets were recently eliminated by Republic of Benin in the race for the 2009 African Under-17 Championship. And speculations were rife that the Nigeria Football Federation was poised to replace Coach Alphonsus Dike with Iroha ahead of next year's FIFA World U-17 Championship to be hosted by Nigeria. “I know everybody believes those boys failed in Cotonou, but the truth is that the experience they gained in that match will serve as a useful learning process to prevent another result like that one. “I will still depend largely on the same crop of players for my team, because they have been together for a long while and have already been conditioned to play as a team," said Iroha, assistant to late Yemi Tella who won the FIFA event with the Eaglets in 2007.

“Something went wrong in Cotonou, and that’s what we will work against. We have to find out what happened to then players and then we will have to work against it in their future engagements,” Iroha added.
