The Nigeria Football Federation's hunt for a new head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria continues as they gear up for a World Cup ticket, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Nigerian Eagles are on the verge of missing out on the 2026 World Cup ticket after a loss to Benin Republic and draws against South Africa, Lesotho, and Zimbabwe, scooping only three points out of a possible 12.
The Super Eagles are like a plane without a pilot following the resignation of former Ajax FC star Finidi George , who cited a lack of backing from the NFF as his reason for resigning.
Will the NFF Appoint a Foreign Coach?Reports circulating in the Nigerian football community reveal that the Minister of Sports, John Enoh, is set to support the NFF with funds to appoint a top-class foreign coach .
Recently, Herve Renard was linked with the Super Eagles job after revealing he would exit his role as the head coach of the France Women's team, although the NFF later debunked this rumour. Antonio Conceicao was previously linked with the technical adviser role before Finidi resigned.
