The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is facing the challenge of finding a new head coach for the Super Eagles ahead of their crucial 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. With the recent resignation of Finidi George, the NFF is exploring options to fill the void.
Augustine Eguavoen has emerged as a potential candidate to temporarily lead the team through the upcoming fixtures against Benin and Rwanda. His familiarity with the Super Eagles and previous experience as an interim coach make him a strong contender.
However, other names are also being floated around, including Janne Andersson, the former head coach of Sweden’s national team, and Fidelis Ilechukwu, the title-winning coach of Enugu Rangers.
The NFF is navigating a complex situation, balancing the need for a permanent head coach with the urgency of preparing for the upcoming qualifiers. The final decision on the Super Eagles’ coaching staff will significantly impact the team’s chances of success in the 2025 AFCON and beyond.
