The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to announce a new head coach for the Super Eagles, and South African tactician Pitso Mosimane has emerged as a strong contender for the position, according to Sport Brief. Mosimane, who has a wealth of experience in African football, is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations with the NFF.
Mosimane's credentials make him an attractive candidate for the job. He has previously served as the caretaker coach of the South African national team and was an assistant coach during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. His experience in African football and his knowledge of the continent's football landscape are seen as valuable assets for the Super Eagles.
When asked about the possibility of coaching the Super Eagles, Mosimane said: "I am honored to be considered for the position. Nigeria has a rich football history and a talented pool of players. I am excited about the prospect of working with the team and contributing to their success."
However, not everyone is pleased with the prospect of Mosimane coaching the Super Eagles. Some Nigerians have expressed concerns about his ability to manage a team like the Super Eagles, citing his lack of experience with a team of Nigeria's caliber. Others have also raised concerns about his South African nationality, with some arguing that the job should go to a Nigerian coach.
Despite these concerns, Mosimane remains a strong candidate for the position. His experience and knowledge of African football are seen as valuable assets for the Super Eagles, and his appointment could bring a fresh perspective to the team.
