Chimezie Akwuegbu Eyes National Team Call up By Admin Former Nigeria International Emmanuel Akwuegbu believes his son, Chimezie Sean Akwuegbu deserves to earn a call up to the Nigeria national team. "My son Chimezie Sean Akwuegbu is just 15 and I have made him realised the fact that it is better for him to play for Nigeria other than other countries and he loves the idea. I told him the joy it brings to wear the colour of Nigeria as a player and at his age. Akwuegbu while speaking with www.bsnsports.com.ng stated further that he would be happy if his son is invited to the national team. His words; "I would love my child to represent Nigeria because that’s his fatherland, he is very skilful and scores great goals. He is just 15 and plays for the youth team of FC Wacker. He is a striker who can also play in the midfield, he’s got all it takes to play for Nigeria and I know he can start from the youth team to the highest level, if he keeps working hard. He can play up to the Super Eagles." Speaking about his regret during his playing time, Akwuegbu said; "My only regret was the injury that denied me the opportunity to play for Nigeria during the Olympic qualifiers in 1999, for Sydney Olympics and this one reason I want him to play for Nigeria and remember my elder brother Benedict made us proud playing for Nigeria and I know Sean will do better in this generation because of the facilities he was exposed to from a tender age and I don't want Nigeria to lose him the way they lost Alaba to Austria. "I stopped playing in 2012 due to injury and I am now a coach in Austria," He also spoke about his life after he quits football for coaching. "I started coaching in 2012 when I know I could not continue anymore I am a UEFA A License in Austria but life as a coach is different from being a footballer; it’s a wonderful experience and I love it. I started by coaching small Austrian clubs like I.A.C and Götzens." "Presently, I am with FC Wacker Innsbruck, a second division club in Austria. I am part of the coaching team but I also work in the youth team. As a coach, you understand the game better and you have a very important role to play in motivating the players and giving them the information they need to perform very well," the former Nigeria International concluded. Chimezie Akweugbu, has played seven times for Austria U-15 team scoring four goals as a striker.
