Several top officials have given SCORENigeria an insight to how the NFF will hire a foreign coach for the Super Eagles before the 2025 AFCON qualifiers kick off in September.
“A lot of work has already been done on a foreign coach for the Super Eagles by the NFF technical committee and that will be reviewed,” an official said.
A record 50 foreign coaches applied for the Super Eagles top post when NFF declared it vacant.
The NFF technical committee initially settled for a foreign coach to succeed Jose Peseiro after the Portuguese coach threw in the towel after the AFCON in February.
Antonio Conceicao, Didier Six and Bruno Fernandez were among the five coaches from those applications shortlisted for consideration by the NFF executive committee.
Former Cameroon coach Conceicao was the only foreign coach on a three-man shortlist that was presented when the NFF delegation met with Sports Minister John Enoh.
Finidi George, Daniel Amokachi and Emmanuel Amuneke were the coaches after the technical committee was directed to look inwards for a local coach.
Every football association successfully select a national team coach based on his coaching CV but only in Nigeria the football association select a manager based in his playing career. Can’t select a coach because he was a great player without questioning his coaching tеchniquеs and qualifications. You must attend courses in order to qualify as a coach. It’s easy to intimidate local coach that the foreign coaches especially in terms of BRIBING a coach to select certain players. For example, despite the fact that Iheanacho criticised the former Super Eagles coach for not giving him enough play time, the same Iheanacho was first player to heap praise to Finidi George and he later selected to start a match whilst better players were kept in the bench. Deal with corruption first if anyone expects Nigerian national team to progress…thank you all

Nigeria countly have very very Good players,that can play to final,but who can sit and talk with them and hear them as a friend not as a Boss,
Is the problem,a very good coach do be a friend to his players,there he will know them better,and at same time,use ur head put it together with what u hear from them, players on there own can decide to win a game own there if the feel the can,as a coach if you don’t know how to pick the right players and fix them in the right Good position, you will also fail,it will be hardly for you to succeed in your coaching career,
Finidi George, don’t know anything about coaching at all,in the super eagles look at the information he placed 4.4.2
Instead of 4.3.3
Or 3.4.3 finidi George benching the Good players and plays what his failing career ask him to,may God Almighty help super eagles,Amen
