Former Nigeria’s Super Eagles winger John Chukwudi Utaka has confirmed his application for the post of Flying Eagles.
Former coach Ladan Bosso was relieved of his duty a few weeks ago and the Nigeria Football Federation declared the position vacant.
While speaking to Brila FM radio, former RC Lens attacker said he is ready and capable of helping the country.
“I have applied for the under-20 job, and it’s something I would like to do if given the chance.
“I think it would be good because, as a player, I knew what it took to play for the country, which is something the youth need to understand.
When you play for Nigeria, you play with your heart.”
” There is a philosophy behind our play; we have to represent our flag with the utmost respect, and that’s why we are there”, he said.
Utaka who was part of the Super Eagles team in the 2004 African Cup of Nations in Tunisia has 44 caps and scored 6 goals for Nigeria.
