NFF To Name Super Eagles Coach July by simplyolat(m): 10:36pm On Jun 29, 2016
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will unveil a
new coach for the Super Eagles in July, it has been
revealed.
Chris Green, the NFF Technical and Development
Committee chairman, has given firm assurances
that they would make sure that all the issues
around naming a new manager for the Super
Eagles were sorted unfailingly by next month.
The Super Eagles have been without a substantive
coach since Sunday Oliseh resigned and according
to Green a lot of applications have been received
for the vacant post.
“We have submitted our recommendation to the
NFF executive board members after receiving a lot
of applications from coaches who have shown
interest in the job,” Green revealed.
At the moment, Salisu Yusuf has been in charge of
the Eagles in interim capacity with the duo of
Rangers coach, Imama Amapakabo, and Abia
Warriors manager, Kennedy Boboye, assisting.
Super Eagles are in a tough group for Russia 2018
World Cup qualifiers together with Zambia’s
Chipolopolo, Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions and
Algeria’s Desert Foxes.
Meanwhile, while the federal government might
have foreclosed the hope of hiring a foreign coach,
the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation is
at only at cross purposes on who to appoint, but
bent on hiring a foreigner.
This is because Amaju Pinnick, NFF President,
favours the appointment of Serbian’s Goran
Stefanovic, while the Technical Committee headed
by Chris Green wants Frenchman, Paul Le Guen.
Pinnick is keen on the Serb’s abilities due to his
wealth of experience especially in Africa and
affordability in comparison to other coaches who
will demand higher wages.
However members of the Technical Committee are
convinced that Le Guen is the most qualified for
the job based on his pedigree and heroics with
Cameroun in the run up to the 2010 World Cup
where he qualified them from an almost impossible
situation after taking over the job midway through
the qualifiers.
The committee members believe that Le Guen has
the pedigree that will naturally command respect
from players of the Super Eagles which will help
bring the much needed sanity and discipline the
football house is trying to instill in the senior
national team.

They are both good options. I pray God bless them with a realistic means of getting him paid.
