Dede joins Dennerby's backroom as India U17 goalkeeper coach

New India U17 girl's head coach Thomas Dennerby has appointed former Nigeria international Precious Dede into his backroom team as a goalkeeper trainer, Goal can exclusively report.

Dennerby was confirmed as the Indian U17 girl's side boss in early November following the 60-year-old's resignation from his Nigeria post after 20 months in charge of the Super Falcons.

To this end, the Swede has moved quickly to make his appointments, with Dede, who worked with him briefly with the Super Falcons early in 2018, arriving as goalkeeper coach.

The former Super Falcons captain has since penned down a one-year contract with the All Indian Football Federation (AIFF), taking the place of former Indian goalkeeper Shaikh Qadeer.
