The “Proactive Protagonist” as he’s referred to, one of Nigeria’s biggest and most influential grassroots coaches, Ayere Sylvester has stepped up his coaching career as he becomes head coach of Dubai-based side United FC’s U13 and also one of the team coaches for Fleetwood FC.
Ayere who had good stints with Oasis Ladies, and Rainieri Ladies, getting them to the final of the Social Liga and Freibergerweg, was appointed as head of opposition analysis for NLO and TCC side, Gbagada FC where he served for months before being contacted to join the UAE side United FC.
“Here in Dubai now. The goal remains the same, I’m not stopping here because I’ve come a long way from coaching on red sand to pitches with no cones, a goal post pole in Kaduna, one ball to train 25 players, to Lagos and now here. UEFA License Pro is the target as I need to be able to align myself globally,” Ayere told Sports247.
“This is just a step in the right direction. There are bigger things to come, I’m still much hungry. The dream is also to enlighten young coaches in Nigeria to see how big they can become without sticking with the norm in the country,” he added.
Ayere Sylvester has also been confirmed as an assistant coach of senior league side Fleetwood FC as he made his journey from Nigeria to Dubai.
Fleetwood FC plays in the third division in Dubai, topping the table with three games to go which will see the get promoted to the second division in their first year of participation.
