Super Eagles Coach Meets With NFF President and Minister in London for Discussions

opera.com 2024/10/5

The Nigerian national football team, the Super Eagles, is currently searching for a new head coach. Mr. Gusau, president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), and Mr. Sunday Dare, minister of sports, are in London meeting with selected candidates, according to OwnGoalNigeria. 


These discussions aim to find a successor to Finidi George, who left after a poor performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifying, causing Nigeria to drop to fifth position in their group. The NFF is under significant pressure to appoint a suitable replacement.


In September, the Super Eagles will begin preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers, presenting the new coach with a formidable challenge. Nigeria is in a challenging group alongside Libya, Rwanda, and the Benin Republic. 


Rumors suggest that experienced coaches with successful histories in African football are among the finalists. The negotiations are expected to conclude at the London conference, with an announcement anticipated soon.
