NFF Finalises Plan To Name New Foreign Coach For Super Eagles
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will soon announce the appointment of a new foreign coach for the Super Eagles.
Nigeria’s disappointing performance in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana and Benin Republic led to the dismissal of former coach and ex-international Finidi George.
The Super Eagles failed to win either of their June qualifiers. They drew 1-1 with South Africa in Uyo before losing 2-1 to Benin Republic in Abidjan, jeopardising their qualification hopes.
Nigeria is in fifth place in Group C, with only three points from their first four games, and must win all six remaining matches to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Marc Brys, the former Cameroon coach, is one of the candidates for the new coaching position. Other notable candidates considered by the NFF include Portuguese coach Antonio Conceicao and Domènec Torrent, a former assistant to Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
The NFF’s decision seeks to revive the Super Eagles’ World Cup campaign and secure their place in the expanded 2026 tournament.
If confirmed, the new coach will be tasked with leading Nigeria through the remaining qualifiers and securing a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
