Nigeria TV Info reports:

Former Super Eagles interim head coach, Monday Sinclair, has died at the age of 88. His death was confirmed on Wednesday by ex-Super Eagles goalkeeper Peterside Idah, who played under him at Sharks FC and considered him a mentor. Peterside paid tribute on Facebook, saying, “Our daddy is gone. What a man. He signed me to play for Sharks and gave me my first match against Niger Tornadoes. He said I was built like Tyson the first day he saw me.” Sinclair, a 1960s Green Eagles player, was admired for his talent-spotting abilities and huge impact on grassroots football development in Nigeria. He began his coaching journey with Sharks FC and later managed Niger Tornadoes, Enugu Rangers, Bayelsa United, and in 1997, served as interim Super Eagles coach before handling Equatorial Guinea’s national team. He mentored football legends like Peter Rufai, Taribo West, Finidi George, and Peterside. His death comes just days after the passing of Peter Rufai. Nigeria has lost another pillar in its football history.
