Nigeria star Wilfried Ndidi gift brand new car to former coach Nduka Ugbade

Nigeria international Wilfried Ndidi has presented a brand new vehicle to his former Nduka Ugbade in a selfless act of appreciation.

Ugbade, a grassroots coach in Nigeria played a pivotal role in shaping Ndidi to become a world class player.

Attributing his growth in the game to Ugbade, Ndidi, who plies trade for Leicester City gifted the coach a brand new Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).

“This is just my way of saying thank you to a man who believed in me before the world did,” Ndidi said.

The Super Eagles midfielder, 28, was seen on camera giving Ugbade an emotional embrace before giving him the keys to a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).

Nduka Ugbade, now 55, is a celebrated figure in Nigerian football history. He was part of the iconic squad that won the inaugural FIFA U-17 World Cup in 1985 in China, then known as the Kodak FIFA U-16 World Tournament, beating West Germany 2-0 in the final.
