Going, going, Finidi going as NFF to employ foreign coach for Super Eagles

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has resolved to employ a foreign technical adviser for the Super Eagles in the next few weeks.

Arising from an emergency meeting on Wednesday, the Executive Committee of the federation while pledging to work assiduously and put necessary measures in place to ensure a better-prepared Super Eagles ahead of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers in September this year and the resumption of the World Cup qualifiers in March 2025, it resolved to employ an expatriate Technical Adviser for the team in the coming weeks.

Similarly, the NFF also resolved to beef up the NFF Technical Department with more qualitative hands while also redigging the Technical and Development Sub-Committee with immediate effect.

The NFF board expressed displeasure with the poor attitude of some of the players to the national assignment, and unanimously decided in favour of a more robust scouting programme of outstanding Nigeria-eligible players from across the four corners of the universe, who can add tremendous value to the nation’s flagship team.

Meanwhile, the federation has apologised to Nigerians for the dismal output and subsequent very poor returns of the Super Eagles, in four out of 10 matches in the ongoing qualification series for the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals, and pledged to work assiduously and put necessary measures in place to ensure a better-prepared squad ahead of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers in September this year and the resumption of the World Cup qualifiers in March 2025.
