President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick has revealed that he wants Victor Moses back to the Super Eagles.

Moses shockingly quit the Super Eagles after the 2018 FIFA World Cup to concentrate on his club football.

But Pinnick believes that the decision of the 28-year-old to quit the Super Eagles was ‘unexpected and sudden’.

The NFF boss has arranged a meeting with the Chelsea player and his agent in a bid to convince him to rescind his decision.

“I have arranged to meet him and his agent in England. I believe the way Moses left the national team was unexpected and sudden,” Pinnick told BBC Sport.

“I want to speak to him and make him understand how important it is to return.

“I’d love for us to get him back. We’ll see what will happen.”

Pinnick believes that Moses’ experience makes him a very important player to have in the national team.

“Moses comes with a lot of experience and has won the Nations Cup by playing an important role,” Pinnick also said.

“We have a talented young squad but he can make a significant contribution as an experienced player.

“It will be his decision at the end of the day, but even if he has to leave – then we have to honour him like England did with Wayne Rooney.

“I still believe he can change his mind and continue to wear the national colours with pride, that is what I will be hoping for when we meet.”

Moses played a made a total of 37 appearances for the Super Eagles and contributed 12 goals.

He started out his international career with the English youth setup at U-16, U-17, U-19 and U-21 levels.

He got his first call-up under coach the last Stephen Keshi in an international friendly game against Guatemala in 2011.

He was part of the Super Eagles squad under Keshi that won the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in 2013.

He represented Nigeria in two FIFA World Cup tournaments-Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018.

If he returns to the Super Eagles, the forward is likely to be in the squad for the AFCON 2019.

Why is he trying to lobby his way back to the eagles through Pinnick. He should man up and be professional enough to stay retired he isn't needed.

Thank God the present coach is not a Nigerian one that can easily be coyed or bossed around.

I wonder what he was feeling like.

Concentrate on your club football boy, you have all the time in the world.

Which Moses, the one that has played for only 50 mins this season?
No naaa, please let him stay retired because he is even tired, old wine taste better is not for Nigerian sports men.

Nonsense

Victor Moses, a regular starter under Antonio Conte is now surplus to requirement under Maurizio Sarri to the extent of not making the bench anymore... Nawa ooooo

H

We don't need him back in the team. He made his decision to quit playing for the national team in a bid to focus on club football. The NFF should start focusing on bringing up passionate youngsters from the grassroots

When the shocker gets shocked!

Victor who

To come back as Assistant coach?

Who wants to play for a messed up country that doesn't value her citizens?

I think Moses is behind this.... Lol

Super eagles is okay without him.

The guy wants to go to afcon he's now using pinnick to do boju boju

Pinnick

Nairalanders you all should be careful when dealing with people.

This dude called Nobelus Cabral scammed me of 800 euros two weeks ago. He promised to pay back by 27th of December when he gets his Paycheck by December 27th but when it was time to pay he blocked me on Facebook, and blocked my 3 numbers on WhatsApp.

The dude reside in Georgia USA and he's feeling that there's nothing that can be done to get him down.
The Internet is a world of its own when I'm done tarnishing this fraudster image he will sure get deported.

You think you can scam me of my hard earned 800 euros and go Scott free? Brother I'll tarnish your image everywhere.

These guyz should stop making Moses feel like MESSI when we already have his replacement(Samuel Chukwueze) from Villarreal.

Are you mad?

Face your investigation and stop begging people to play for us?

Same Amaju that is being prosecuted?

This at a time we have players like Samuel Chukwueze making waves in La liga. Make them allow Moses focus on club career.... No be to use am block these small boys opportunity

Ok. Fingers crossed.

We have a better replacement for him. Don't beg him to come back to avoid proudness.

He quits the National team to focus on Which of the Clubs Football because I don't know his present club

Victor who

Who else noticed that when Moses announced his sudden retirement from SE, Nigerians just acted as though nothing important happened.

I believe Moses was expecting an outcry from Nigerians begging him not to retire. I can even imagine how surprised he would have been realizing that nobody send him.

N.B: The day to day situations in Naija is really pre-occupying, it's not Moses matter that Nigerians are thinking about

Moses is using Pinnick to get back to the super eagles. We don't need him again we've got Samuel Kalu and Chukwueze to replace him and they are more efficient than him. And he knows we are winning the next AFCON for sure. He should enjoy his club football
