SCORENigeria has scooped the five foreign coaches shortlisted by the NFF technical committee to head the Super Eagles before it was ordered to only consider a local coach for the top post.
The chosen five were –
Antonio Conceicao – Portuguese coach who guided the Indomitable Lions to finish third at the delayed 2021 AFCON hosted by Cameroon two years ago. It is understood he was top choice for the Super Eagles as was also recommended for consideration even after the committee was directed to focus on a local coach.
Luis Fernandez – Former France international midfielder who played for PSG and also coached the club. His managerial career also included Cannes and Reims in France as well as Athletic Bilbao, Real Betis and Espanyol. He also headed the Syli Stars of Guinea for a year.
Didier Six – Former France international winger who coached several African teams like Mauritius, Guinea and Togo
Joaquin Caparros – Former Al Ahly coach, whose coaching stints were mostly in his native Spain, where he headed Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla, Villarreal, Levante and Osasuna.
Miguel Herrera – Mexican coach who at a time headed his country’s national team and also headed several top clubs like Monterrey, Club America, Atlante and Tijuana, all in Mexico.
With the Super Eagles 2026 World Cup hopes in complete shambles after they failed to win any of their four qualifiers, the NFF have since announced they will hire a foreign coach to turn around the fortunes of the national team.
They further disclosed that the new Super Eagles coach will be appointed before the 2025 AFCON qualifiers begin in September.
Officials told SCORENigeria that they expect the technical committee to revisit their shortlist in the first instance before embarking on a fresh selection process.
Unconfirmed report claim you dish falsehood about on Osimhen?
None of these candidates will be given the job by the NFF. They will announce someone you have not heard his name before as the coach. I have studied these people.
Antonio Conceicao appointed as the new coach of the super eagles.
NFF made a u-turn and appoint………. as the new super eagles coach
Just wait for it.
They should consider the last two
Joachim or Miguel.
Their CVs are impressive.
Please NFF should wait patiently for Renard. He will soon with Olympic games in France. Renard can coach super eagles and give us 2026 world cup ticket.
