Thomas Dennerby has stated he sees former Nigeria international Precious Dede as a role model for young goalkeepers.
Dennerby accepted to handle the India U17 women's team on November 9 after he left his women's head coach role with Nigeria and he took Dede as one of his coaching assistants.
Dede, who retired from football in 2016, served as Dennerby's goalkeeper trainer briefly after he was appointed the Super Falcons coach in 2018 before being redeployed to the U20 team.
After 39-year-old joined his backroom staff as the India U17 girls' goalkeeper coach, the former Sweden boss shared his reasons behind his choice of the former Super Falcons goalkeeper.
