Isah Ladan Bosso (born 5 October 1967) is the current head coach of Bayelsa United[1] and a former coach of the Nigeria national under-20 football team, nicknamed the Flying Eagles. He was appointed in September 2020.[2] He led the Nigerian team to the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations. He has often been described as Nigeria's own Sean Dyche because of his pragmatic managerial approach and emphasis on solid defensive shape.[3] Bosso was made famous for his racism allegation against England referee Howard Webb after Nigeria's Under 20s lost to Chile at the quarter-final stage of the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[4]
