Stand -in Captain of the Super Eagles, Ahmed Musa has emerged the Nigeria’s Best of the Year 2018 at the AITEO/NFF Awards which took place at the Eko Hotels & Suites on Monday.
The sensational scoring machine of the Super Eagles dusted his teammates at the national team,  the duo of Alex Iwobi of Arsenal and Odion Jude Ighalo of Shanghai Greenland Shenhua to win the award.
There was no denying the fact that Musa’s second goal against Iceland at the 2018 Russia World Cup was a master piece of football artistry and it was not surprising that the goal was voted the Goal of the Year.
The leadership qualities displayed by Onome Ebi, a defender and captain of the Super Falcons at the Africa Women Championship that made Nigeria to win her 9th African title did not go unnotice, as she was voted Women’s Player of the Year, defeating her two atacking teammates in the Super Falcons, Asisat Osuola and Francesca Ordega.
Despite not presenting a very formidable and dreaded Super Falcons at the African Women Championship, Thomas Dennerby, the Swede tactican of the team was voted as the Women’s coach of the Year.
The feat achieved by Enugu Rangers at the 2018 AITEO Cup where the team came from three goals down to claw their way back to reckoning against Kano Pillars and eventually defeating the Sai Masugida boys in the penalty shootout earned Gbenga Ogunbote, the coach of the Flying Antelopes the Coach of the Year in men’s category.
Samuel Chukwueze, the dazzling Nigerian football talent in La Liga in the colours of Villarreal won the Young Player of the Year Award in the male category, while Anam Imo won the female category.
