SCORENigeria can exclusively report that there will be several shock postings when the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) finally announce new coaches for the various national teams.
A top official informed SCORENigeria these appointments will most likely be made this week after so many months of speculations.
It was also gathered that a lot of horse trading, lobbying and politicking have had to happen for the many interests on the NFF executive committee to be catered for.
For the age-group teams, popular names have been linked with a return to their posts, but SCORENigeria has now learnt that will not be the case.
It was further understood that one of these coaches will stage a remarkable comeback to the national set-up after more than a decade away.
Another designated head coach, a former Super Eagles star, will finally step up as boss after serving as a loyal assistant.
“A few coaches who were promised jobs will be devastated because they won’t get them,” a top official told SCORENigeria
“One could say it’s a fresh departure in some ways.”
Thanks Mr Pinnick for all you have been doing and still continue to do for the Super Eagles. This is good. However, extend the same gesture to the under-age categories by appointing the coaches as promised on September 7th, 2020 that within two weeks you would have sought out the gray issues with Philip Consultant on the appointment of Age-grade Coaches. Today 22nd of September, 2020 makes it exactly two weeks. Please for the first time do no renege on your promise. Let the coaches be announced today. Time is not on our side. Remember, U17 Zonal Qualification in Benin Republic for AFCON U17 Nation Cup in Morocco will take place 17 of October, 2020. The time for the appointment is today. We are waiting for you to fulfill what you promised.
