SCORENigeria understands that a new Super Eagles coach will be announced soon.
This followed interviews conducted for shortlisted foreign coaches.
“Everything is still hush-hush,” a source told SCORENigeria
“But it is already known that the NFF president and the Sports Minister were in London this past week in connection with this appointment.
“The announcement of the new coach for the Super Eagles is now imminent.”
Some of the coaches interviewed virtually with NFF technical committee Vice Chairman Felix Anyansi-Agwu, NFF technical director Austin Eguavoen as well as the NFF general secretary understood to also be in attendance.
The identity of the new coach remains a mystery just as the trip of the NFF president and Sports Minister to London was shrouded in secrecy.
However, at least two of the coaches interviewed have a good track record working in African football.
Last month, the NFF announced they will appoint a foreign coach for the Super Eagles after the country’s hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup took a big body blow.
They said the new coach will be in place before the 2025 AFCON qualifiers begin in September.
Nigeria are drawn with 2026 World Cup qualifying rivals Rwanda and Benin as well as Libya in Group D of the 2025 AFCON qualifying tournament.
