Sanusi said he was miffed reading about the purported sack on different platforms as the federation has no intention to relieve any of his employees with a valid contract without following the due process.

He said NFF would require a full technical report on the team’s arrival which will be combed by

Its Technical Committee headed by Ahmed Yusuf Fresh who led the Eaglets to Brazil before the board can take any decision.

“I know that much was expected from the team and many football pundits favoured the Eaglets to lift the trophy being a five-time winner of the cadet championship but you know in football anything can happen, “ Sanusi said. “Though I was not particularly happy with our ouster it doesn’t warrant the federation sacking a coach with valid contract.

“I can tell you categorically that Coach Manu Garba has not been sacked by the federation.”
