Former Super Falcons Coach, Uche Eucheria has cried out for help after her employers, Heartland Queens FC of Owerri, Imo state refused to pay her for three years she worked as Technical Adviser of the club, Bestchoicesports.com.ng can report.

Coach Eucharia who became the first Africa woman to win the Africa Women’s Cup of Nation as a coach in 2010 sent out a Save My Soul, SMS message to Nigerians and the entire world to intervene.

She stated in the release that she has been working as Technical Adviser to the Heartland Queens FC for three years without being paid.

The former Super Falcons star noted that with the current situation in the country, things are becoming more difficult as responsibilities keep mounting

The release titled “SOMEBODY MUST ACT NOW TO SAVE A SOUL”, added that Nigeria coaches should be treated with dignity and honour and not as pensioners. She appealed to the new Imo State governor, Hope Uzodinma to intervene and rescue the situation

The release reads:

What could be more torturing and frustrating than for a professional coach with family and responsibility, a single mother to devote her time, resources and wealth of experience in the capacity of Technical adviser to coach, sustain and stabilize a team rocked with internal and financial crisis in the women premier league for three (3) solid years without getting paid.

Now that compulsory lockdown and inactivity is here your guess is as good as mine

Somebody should please draw the attention of the new Imo state governor to this sad situation for rescue.

Coaches are professionals and should be treated as such. They are not pensionable workers . They depend on what they receive to cater for their responsibilities for live.

They should not be duely contracted and humbly execute their duties without getting paid.

They should not be turned to beggars in their noble profession. A labourer is worthy of his wages says the lord.

It could be your turn tomorrow
