The Nigeria Football industry has been throwing into mourning Monday morning after the demise of Legendary Super Falcons ex-coach Ismaila Mabo was reported.
   Mabo no doubt, is arguably the best coach the Super Falcons of Nigeria must have had in history. He was the first and only coach(for now) to help the national women’s team reach a FIFA World Cup quarter-final; he achieved this feat when he traveled with the women to the mundial in 1999.
Due to his experience and enormous qualities, Mabo was saddled with the responsibilities of taking charge of the women’s Olympic team. He qualified and took the team to the Summer Olympic games of 2000 and 2004.
