Abdu Maikaba Set to Lead Flying Eagles as New Coach

Abdu Maikaba is poised to take over as the head coach of the Flying Eagles, according to a report by Daily Post. He will replace Aliyu Zubairu, who is currently managing Telecom SC, a second division club in Egypt.

Maikaba has previously served as an assistant coach to Paul Aigbogun for the Flying Eagles and has extensive experience in the Nigerian Premier Football League, having managed teams such as Wikki Tourists, Kano Pillars, and Akwa United. His appointment comes as the Flying Eagles prepare for the second round of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, which took place in Chile last year.

This transition reflects a commitment to local coaching talent within Nigeria's football framework.
