Sports Minister John Enoh has announced that the hunt for a new head coach for Nigeria's Super Eagles is nearing its conclusion, with an unveiling expected within the next two weeks. The position has been vacant since the departure of Jose Peseiro at the end of February.
Reportedly, the Nigeria Football Federation's technical committee has narrowed down the search to three potential candidates for the coveted role. Speaking to Channel Sports, Minister Enoh emphasized the urgency of the appointment, stressing the need for a new coach to steer the team towards qualification for the upcoming World Cup.
The Super Eagles' lackluster start in the World Cup qualifiers, marked by draws against Lesotho and Zimbabwe last December, has heightened the stakes for a successful coaching transition. Enoh underscored the importance of a thorough selection process to ensure the team's readiness to tackle the challenges ahead and secure their spot in the prestigious tournament.
With the campaign for World Cup qualification underway, the pressure is on for Nigeria to regain its footing on the international stage and strive for a triumphant return to the global football arena.
