Beyond Limits boss joins Eaglets
Ajibolade is regarded as one of the best young coaches in Nigeria following his exploits with the Remo Stars Academy boys across the world.
Under the brilliant guidance of the highly tactical youth coach, Beyond Limits have emerged as the best academy outfit in Nigeria.
Olumide has not only conquered Nigeria with his largely under-18 boys but also recently made history in Europe.
Beyond Limits are the current champions of The Creative Championship, TCC, a tournament the No Limits have won four times in a row.
Also, the Ajibolade-led side also became the first African team to ever win the prestigious Viareggio Cup in Italy.
His appointment to join the Golden Eaglets as assistant to the experienced Manu is a reward for Ajibolade’s impressive work with Beyond Limits.
The coach, who exclusively confirmed he is on his way to report to the Golden Eaglets camp in Abuja, will hope to play an important role as Nigeria looks to return to the pinnacle of youth football starting with the WAFU U17 Nations Cup qualifiers slated for Ghana.
