Ex-Super Eagles coach, Monday Sinclair, has died at the age of 88, after battling with diabetes for a while.
Former Nigeria goalkeeper, Peterside Idah, disclosed the news of his death in a Facebook post.
It is believed Sinclair passed away on Wednesday around 3:15pm.
“Our daddy is gone. What a man. He signed me to play for Sharks. Gave me my first match against Niger Tornadoes of Minna,” Idah wrote.
After Philippe Troussier was sacked in 1997, Sinclair was appointed coach of the Eagles on an interim basis and took charge of two friendly matches against Zambia and Tunisia.
Sinclair has been credited with discovering ex-Nigeria internationals like Peter Rufai, Taribo West, Finidi George, and Idah Peterside, etc.
