There are strong indications that the NFF leadership may have opted to head hunt a foreign coach for the Super Eagles directly rather than the technical committee recommend one for them.
Former NFF president Amaju Pinnick directly approached both Gernot Rohr and Jose Pesiero before their appointments were rubber stamped by the technical committee.
Former Zambia and Morocco coach Herve Renard and the present Cameroon coach March Brys have been linked with the vacant Super Eagles top post.
They are outside the coaches who applied for the job in March.
SCORENigeria further gathered that an influential member of the inner circle of the NFF president is already in Germany shopping for a new coach for the country.
Sports Minister John Enoh ordered the NFF to re-organise both their technical committee and technical department when they met earlier this month.
The NFF technical committee shortlisted five foreign coaches to the NFF executive committee for consideration before they were instructed to look inwards for a local coach.
The five shortlisted coaches were Antonio Conceicao, Luis Fernandez, Joaquin Caparros, Didier Six and Miguel Herrera.
The NFF have announced they will appoint a foreign coach for the Super Eagles before the 2025 AFCON qualifiers begin in September.
I said it before now that Finidi George was not qualified to coach the super eagles. Shortly after Pesiero left, Finidi took over and from the first 2 games he coached we could see that he wasn’t sound enough especially in the area of on-field management, he makes poor decisions and this is the result of not having the type of training that a coach at a high level should have. I don’t have anything against choosing a local coach but he should be well vested in on and off field management. Amunike would have been the best choice.
Amunike can’t take us to the promise land. He could do anything with Augustine during the match against Ghana in wc qualifier. Local coach in Nigeria is a NO NO
Imokachi would have been the best local coach fir nigeria…he is vast and has the requisite qualifications and experiences..where did amunike coach before? Tanzania is now a traning experience job to coach a national team like nigeria…when Gusau was elected I knew that nigeria football will completely fall…happening as u can see
