Tijjani Babangida gets Eagles post

Babangida to assist Oliseh

Former Nigeria international Tijjani Babangida has been appointed special assistant and liaison to Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh.

Both Babangida and Oliseh played together at top Dutch club Ajax Amsterdam and have maintained a close bond ever since.

It was specially gathered that Babangida will join up with the Eagles training camp when it opens in Abuja next week Sunday to prepare for next month’s AFCON qualifier in Tanzania.

Babangida has been involved with Nigeria premier league FC Taraba, helping them to win promotion to the top flight for the first time in their history two seasons ago.
