The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has finally decided on an indigenous tactician to replace Jose Peseiro as head coach of the Super Eagles.
According to a reliable source, the NFF’s executive and technical committees met on Sunday to discuss the vacant Super Eagles coaching vacancy.
They both agreed to appoint a local coach for the team.
According to the source, the NFF is expected to unveil the new coach this week.
Former handler of the team, Jose Peseiro left the position following the expiration of his contract at the end of February.
The Portuguese guided the West Africans to second position at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.
His former assistant, Finidi George took charge of the team for the friendlies against Ghana and Mali last month.
The Super Eagles are scheduled to take on South Africa and Benin Republic in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June.
