Cryuff ends coaching career after draw with Nigeria

After the 1-1 draw between Nigeria and Catalonia, Johan Cryuff confirmed his earlier decision to retire from football management.

In the game played at the Estadi Cornella El Prat, Cryuff took charge for the last time, as US-based Bright Dike scored a breakaway goal, to cancel out Sergio Gonzalez’s early penalty.

The former Holland attacker, is regarded as a legend in Spain, where he won Barcelona’s first European Cup in 1992 and four consecutive La Liga titles between 1991 and 1994.

Before then, he had coached Ajax between 1985 and 1988 and won the Ballon d’Or three times.
