Asaba.
Former Nigeria captain Austin ‘Jay
Jay’ Okocha has successfully
transitioned from player to
administrator as he won election as
chairman of the Delta State Football
Association on Friday.
Okocha, 41, polled 26 out of 27
votes to win the seat and replace
Amaju Pinnick who vacated the role
after becoming president of the
Nigeria Football Federation
September 2014.
The former PSG, Bolton Wanderers
and Hull City player becomes one of
the few former footballers to enjoy
such huge transition from the field
into the boardroom in Nigerian
football.

presently head of the NFF Technical
Study Group.
