Deji Elumoye  in Abuja 

President Bola Tinubu has received with heavy heart the news of the passing of one of Nigeria’s finest football coaches, Mr. Sebastian Broderick-Imasuen.

Broderick-Imasuen, a footballer-turned-coach, led Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets to victory at the inaugural FIFA U-16 World Championship in China in 1985. 

The President, in a release issued on Sunday by his Media Adviser, Ajuri Ngelale, celebrated the football icon, who brought hope and inspired national pride by his industry, devotion, and diligence on and off the pitch, describing him as a true Nigerian hero.

President Tinubu sympathised with the Imasuen family, the football community, the government of Edo State, and all those who mourn this agonizing loss while praying for the repose of the soul of the dearly departed.
