Former Super Falcon coach, Godwin Izilien, has described the death of Nigeria’s first U-16 World Cup winning coach, Sabastine Brodericks-Imasuen as “shameful” as he was neglected and abandoned by the country he served.
Izilein stated this in his reaction to Brodericks-Imasuen’s demise to the NAN on Wednesday.
Izilein said he learnt of the news of the first U-16 World Cup winning coach in the early hours of Wednesday.
He regretted that the deceased family was left alone to cater for the late Octogenarian for several years without any support from the government. “He was a winning force who was always ready to serve his nation but not good to be remembered at the nick of time.
“He did his best for the country but was neglected and unnoticed, leaving the burden for his family.
“His death is powerful and thought provoking and I pray that those after him should learn from this,” he stated.
At various times, Brodericks-Imasuen also coached local clubsides like Bendel Insurance, El-Kanemi Warriors and the defunct Udoji United.
