Nigeria legend Enyeama gets coaching role in France

Ex-Lille and Nigeria goalkeeper has been named as new goalkeeper coach of French National 3 side Iris Club de Croix.

The 37-year-old has been without a club since he left French top-flight outfit Lille in August 2018, and now he has been given the chance to commence his journey in management.

In a statement released on Iris Club’s ">Facebook page, the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner will train goalkeepers from the team’s reserves to the U16 division.

Enyeama began his professional career at Ibom stars in 1999 before teaming up with Enyimba where he helped the Aba based outfit win three Nigeria Professional League titles, two Caf Champions Leagues and one Caf Super Cup diadem.
