SAN FRANCISCO, September 02, (THEWILL) – Former Super Eagles player, Peter Ijeh, says he’s prepared to assist the national football team, Super Eagles scout for new players.
Ijeh says he has the capacity and network to make this happen because he has a coaching license in Europe and has worked with several academies in Europe.
The former star also disclosed that he knows that Nigeria has many unknown talents with potentials abroad and wants to offer his services to discover them.
He said: “If they are groomed properly, they will become top-class players everywhere in the world. I have seen it, I have tested it and I conquered it during my time as a footballer,” Ijeh said in a podcast with Azerbaijan based Nigerian sports journalist, Johnpaul Nnamdi.
“There are great talents but one has to really work hard to discover them and that is what we are missing. I started from age-grade football and I know the mentality of grassroots football. Once I get a raw talent and with my educational background, I can bring out the best in them and make them fulfill their dreams.
“I want to discover the real talent and if we get it right with the age-grade category, definitely we will get it right in the U23 and so on.”
