“Amodu gave me a different perspective on player/coach relationship.” AmoduShuaibu Amodu Fuludu
Amodu, who qualified the Super Eagles for the FIFA World Cup in 2002 and 2010, but did not attend the competitions, died at the age of 58, three days after his former assistant, Stephen Keshi passed on. Amodu also qualified the Beach Soccer Eagles for the 2006 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup, but refused to travel to Brazil. He led the Super Eagles to win a bronze medal at Angola 2010 African Nations Cup.
“Amodu gave me a different perspective on player/coach relationship,” Fuludu told The Guardian yesterday. “He was never a taskmaster like other coaches. His management style was democratic and motivational. He was nobody’s enemy.” Looking back to his days with the late Coach Amodu at BCC Lions, Fuludu, who is Delta FA chairman said: “There are too many positives on Amodu. I must admit that Amodu was generous to a fault when it comes to giving out his hard earned money to those who call on him. I called him ‘the prof’.
