Niger Tornadoes Technical Adviser Abubakar Bala Mohammed has been appointed by the Nigeria Football Federation as assistant coach of the Super Eagles B team upon the recommendation of the Technical & Development Sub-Committee, a Committee headed by Comrade Ahmed Yusuf Fresh and saddled with the responsibility of scouting for National Team Coaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bala’s appointment did not come as a surprise due to his fast rising coaching profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Niger State Born Soccer Tactician had twice guided Niger Tornadoes to Aiteo Cup Final in recent memory (2017&2019) losing narrowly to Akwa United and Kano Pillars in the showpiece finales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another land mark achievement by the former Kwara United gaffer was guiding Niger Tornadoes to clinching the 2021 NNL Super 8 play off in Enugu, as the Ikon Allah Boys gained an instant return back to the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recalled that Abubakar Bala Mohammed was once an assistant to Paul Aigbogun, former Coach of the National U20 team to 2018 FIFA World Cup in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bala will assist Salisu Yusuf Head Coach of the Super Eagles B team alongaide Kennedy Boboye (Assistant Coach); Fatai Osho (Assistant Coach); Fidelis Ikechukwu (Assistant Coach); Eboboritse Uwejamomere (Match Analyst) and Ike Shorounmu (Goalkeepers\u2019 Trainer) and Suleiman Shuaibu (Goalkeepers\u2019 Trainer 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
