A former interim coach of the Super Eagles, Monday Sinclair, has passed on at the age of 88.
He was confirmed dead by family members on Wednesday afternoon following a long battle with diabetes.
Sinclair played for the Green Eagles in the 1960s, and was renowned for his tremendous scouting abilities which saw him discovering and mentoring future Super Eagles stars like Peter Rufai, Taribo West, and Finidi George.
Sinclair’s coaching career began with the now-defunct Sharks FC of Rivers, and he later took roles at Niger Tornadoes, Enugu Rangers, and Bayelsa United.
He served as the interim coach of the Super Eagles in 1997 and also coached the national team of Equatorial Guinea.
