Presidency Takes Over Super Eagles Coach Selection, Bypasses NFF
The Nigerian presidency has reportedly taken full control of selecting the new head coach for the Super Eagles, sidelining both the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Sports Ministry. This move follows the resignation of Finidi George and places the final decision directly in the hands of the presidency.
Augustine Eguavoen, the NFF’s technical director, is currently managing the team on an interim basis as they prepare for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. However, sources within the NFF indicate that the presidency will make the final call on a permanent coach, raising questions about whether the NFF or Sports Ministry will have any input in the decision.
This development has sparked speculation about how the new approach will impact the team’s future performance, with many awaiting further details on the presidency’s decision.
