Nigeria’s Sports Minister, John Enoh has tasked the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, to look for a top-class foreign coach to tinker the Super Eagles.
The NFF announced a few weeks ago that it will appoint a
foreign technical adviser for the Super Eagles following the team’s poor
results in the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and
Benin Republic.
Enoh said the new coach must have a personality that can command
the respect of the players and ensure the team qualify for the 2026 World Cup
finals.
“It has to be a name that will inspire the spirit of our
nation,” Enoh told Eagle7 FM.
“He has to be a first-class coach with a track record, a
pedigree, who will earn the respect of our players.”
The NFF is expected to appoint the new coach before the
Super Eagles’ next competitive game in September.
The three-time will take on a yet-to-be-decided opponent in
a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in September.
The draw for the qualifiers will be held in Johannesburg,
South Africa early next month.
