Jose Mourinho “Appointed” as Super Eagles head coach

In a surprising turn of events, Jose Mourinho has been appointed as the head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria for April 1, 2024.

The announcement comes as a shock, particularly as Mourinho had not been previously shortlisted for the role until the early hours of April 1st.

The Eagles had been without a coach since Mourinho’s compatriot departed the position on March 1st. Just one month later, football authorities purportedly secured Mourinho as a replacement.

However, take note that this news is part of an April Fools’ Day prank. While this announcement may generate discussions and commentaries from football stakeholders in the country about the possibility of having the former Chelsea manager in charge of the Eagles, it is understood to be nothing more than a joke at the moment.

In reality, Mourinho and the Nigeria National team continue their separate pursuits, with Mourinho in search of a new job and the team in need of a new coach. The chances of them coming together remain slim.

As April begins, it serves as a reminder to take news with a grain of salt, especially on April Fools’ Day. While the idea of Mourinho leading the Super Eagles may have sparked excitement for some, it ultimately proved to be nothing more than a playful jest.

Welcome to April!

Lol, April fool news.
