Former Super Eagles coach Clemens Westerhof hospitalised with cancer

Clemens Westerhof, former Nigeria coach, has been hospitalised in the Netherlands after being diagnosed with colon cancer. His wife, Lilian, said he was in critical condition and was also battling Alzheimer’s disease; the family is asking for prayers and seeking to move him to a better-equipped hospital in Amsterdam or Germany. Westerhof coached the Super Eagles for five years, leading them to their first World Cup appearance in 1994 and to the Africa Cup of Nations title that year.
