A new Super Eagles Coach will be announced within the next two weeks,
according to Shehu Dikko, second vice-president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
This is coming on the heels of the draw for the qualifiers for the 2018
World Cup and the NFF have now said a coach will be announced in two
weeks now that they know the teams they must face to get to the next
World Cup.
“The target to hire a coach of the technical committee and the NFF is
two weeks so we can get down to preparations,” Shehu Dikko said according to Breaking Times.
“It is better now that we know the draws and the countries we will play,
so we can decide the kind of coach we need to get the right results,”
Dikko added.
The three-time African champions have been without a substantive coach
since February when Sunday Oliseh quit the post, and they have now had
four coaches in the last one year alone.
The draw for the Russia 2018 World Cup sees Nigeria in Group B along
with Algeria, Cameroon and Zambia and failure to qualify will make it
three major tournaments in a row that the country has now failed to
make.
