.Pleads for coach Paul Hamilton too
By Taofeek Babalola
The President of the Nigeria Football Coaches Association, Isa Ladan Bosso has applauded the League Management Company (LMC) for its timely intervention on coach Kelechi Emeteole's illness.
Emeteole is in need of help to raise 11, 000 dollars to carry out an operation in India for Cancer of the throat.
It is understood that Emeteole is being owed by El Kanemi Warriors and Heartland FC when he was in charge of the clubs as head coach.
But LMC in its kind gesture paid up the money to Emeteole with intention to remove the money from the funds the league body is expected to give to the indebted clubs.
In a telephone conversation with SportingLife, Bosso, said the LMC intervention will encourage Nigeria coaches to do more for the country while he urged his colleagues to plan for their future.
The former Flying Eagles handler, therefore, pleaded with LMC to also do something for the former Super Eagles coach, Paul Hamilton who is down with sickness too.
"I am in contact with coach Emeteole's wife for update on his health. On behalf of the Nigeria Football Coaches Association I want to thank LMC leadership for their kind gesture. Their quick intervention is a welcome development and I believe it will serve as a morale booster to other coaches to do more. Like Oliver Twist, we want to plead on behalf of coach Hamilton so that he can be assisted too. He is in need of help from everybody for his sickness.
" I think it is very important for us (coaches) to save for the raining days. We have to plan for our future. By the grace of God I will visit coach Emeteole on Friday while I will go to Lagos next week to visit coach Hamilton," Bosso said to SportingLife.
Meanwhile, the management of El Kanemi has finally paid Emeteole the sum of N 3, 000, 000 (three million naira) the club owed him when he was working with the team as technical adviser. The money was paid on Tuesday.
