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.

If u like hire Guardiola, no world cup 4 u!

That is how they will go and bring up one washed up white skin say na coach, he will win 2 matches,loose 2 and draw 2 he will now retire and start screaming on media that NFF still owes him 3 months. Then they will put up another care taker committee to oversee nation cup qualifications. The same old script since 1998...Naija wud never change

We need Morinho

Anything you like you do

.

I wonder who

make them go employ american coach again and still face failure, i guess nigeria should quit football and start hunting sport or swimming since the old good players are no more.

Let the devil be ashamed

RichYoungNigga:
Who wants to bet ??

Na Hausa man them go name super eagles coach

And if the Hausa man is qualified, and can do a good job...so what?

Sunday Oliseh that had very limited coaching experience.....and he was allowed to coach Nigeria.

And which law prohibits Hausas from being Nigerian coach?

Let them be fast about it we cant wait

Na Christian Chukwu or Austin Eguavoan dem go employ

Nigeria's problem is that we do not have a good system of bringing up players from childhood to adulthood...the same way Germany, Belgium and Brazil do.

A coach can only work with the materials he has. And if the materials are not good....miracles do not happen.

Our domestic football is not helping matters too. Players are poorly paid, poorly trained. And they have to go abroad before they get proper training, and even proper nutrition advice.

I think the nff will get it right this time. Both coaches been touted are experienced and good.

Las lagerback all the way...up Iceland

So what? They are experienced!

Anyways...NFF is choosing between two European coaches....and I think Le Guen is the better choice.

Lagerback is retiring after the EURO 2016....no matter how well Iceland do.

And his previous experience in Nigeria was not good...so....

I hope the new one doesn't die before resuming. He should do 30 days fast in MFM before resuming.

Amaju Pinnick should be sent packing if we don't qualify. It will simply means we have failed to qualify for 2 AFCONs and World cup. Pathetic!!!

That's true....we got Otto Gloria...the coach who helped us to win the Nations cup in 1980....to come out of retirement to coach us. BUUT.....previous bad experience.

And you are right about us not giving any coach we appoint time to work

Well July is in 2 days' time... time will tell...

Even if u hire Mourinho,
with the level of corruption in NFF,he still will not do anything
Football is no longer our thing
