The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced it will appoint a technical adviser for the Super Eagles.
The NFF took the decision during its executive committee meeting on Wednesday.
The soccer house resolved to bring in an expatriate following the Super Eagles dismal showing in their recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic.
The Super Eagles held Bafana Bafana to a 1-1 draw at home and lost 2-1 to the Cheetahs.
“The executive committee wholeheartedly apologized to Nigerians for the dismal output and subsequent very poor returns of the Senior Men National Team, Super Eagles, in four out of 10 matches in the ongoing qualification series for the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals, and pledged to work assiduously and put necessary measures in place to ensure a better-prepared squad ahead of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers in September this year and the resumption of the World Cup qualifiers in March 2025,” reads part of the communique release by the NFF.
“Further to the above, the executive committee resolved to employ an expatriate Technical Adviser for the Super Eagles in the coming weeks, ahead of the AFCON qualifiers and the remaining FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.”
