Coach Muhammad Bashiru Saidu has his sights set on coaching some of the top teams in the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) as he nears the completion of his UEFA Tactical and Strategic Management certification.
This qualification is expected to enhance his career prospects significantly, both in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) and on the international stage, Footballrover reports.
Saidu’s coaching journey has been marked by an impressive array of internships at elite French clubs, including Montpellier Hérault U19, Le Havre AC U16, Guingamp FC, ES Troyes AC, and Clermont Foot, all in Ligue 2.
His exposure to European football tactics and strategies has refined his coaching style, setting him apart as a forward-thinking tactician.
As the NPFL seeks to improve its competitive standards, Saidu’s expertise makes him an attractive candidate for several top clubs.
His name has already been linked to some of the league’s biggest teams, such as Kano Pillars, Nasarawa United, and Niger Tornadoes, all of which are keen to benefit from his UEFA-accredited insights.
Saidu’s ambition, however, extends beyond domestic football. While he is open to coaching NPFL sides, he has set his sights on an even greater challenge—the Nigerian national team.
“Working for NPFL teams will certainly boost my career, but my ultimate goal is to manage the national team,” Saidu told Footballrover.
UEFA certification could redefine NPFL coaching landscape
With his UEFA certification nearing completion, Saidu is poised to bring a fresh, strategic approach to Nigerian football.
His tactical innovations and leadership qualities could be just what top NPFL teams need to thrive in an increasingly competitive league.
