has congratulated the Golden Eaglets over their
qualification for the quarter final of the ongoing FIFA cadet
World Cup in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) but has raised
dust on their ages.
“The Eaglets were the better side. I am happy with FIFA for
bringing up such tournament which has helped
to ensure peace and friendship among the youths of the
world. I have been in this job for over 30 years and I have
been coaching the National team for 20 years. The way the
Eaglets played in their matches showed that they can’t be
teenagers but if they are truly within the age bracket, it
shows that Nigeria will have a very strong national team in
the future.
“I didn’t say that they are overage but if they truly Under
17 I wish them luck. My players are young and
inexperienced and it counted against Nigeria,” Doustimehr
admitted in a press conference after the match.
However, Eaglets’ Head Coach, Manu Garba has threatened
to drag Doustimehr to FIFA if he doesn’t withdraw the
statement credited to him.
