Former coach of the U20 team of Nigeria Ladan Bosso says he deserve credit for discovering Super Eagles trio of Benjamin Fredrick, Salim Fago Lawal and Tochukwu Nnadi, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
All three players were part of his U20 team to the world cup in 2023, and have so far made the step up to the senior team with the duo of Nnadi and Lawal making the sqaud to the AFCON. Fredrick missed out due to injury.
” It will not be fair to mention their rise without mentioning how I brought them from no where to limelight. No one knew Lawal, Fredrick or Nnadi until their exploits for my team at the World Cup. It’s what youth football is all about and not necessarily winning. I can’t help but feel proud”, the coach told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
Fredrick is however the most established among the trio, but Bosso said it’s just a matter of time before the other two will make their mark following their recent transfer in the January transfer window.
” Nnadi is at Marseille and Lawal just move to the top team in Czech Republic. It’s a matter of time before they join Fredrick as mainstay. I have no doubts in their ability”, he concluded.
