Aftermath of Nigeria's poor results in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic last week, the Nigeria Football Federation has resolved to hire a foreign coach in place of the current gaffer, Finidi George, Nigeriasoccernet.com.
The Executive Committee apologised to Nigerians over the abysmal performances of the Super Eagles in the 2026 World Cup qualifying series.
"The Executive Committee wholeheartedly apologized to Nigerians for the dismal output and subsequent 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.
"Further to (1) 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.
"Still further to (1) above, the Committee resolved to beef up the NFF Technical Department with more qualitative hands. Equally, the Technical and Development Sub-Committee will be re-jigged with immediate effect."
