NFF To Meet Sports Minister On Eagles Job
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will meet the country's youth and sports minister, Solomon Dalung, in Abuja on Tuesday to discuss on football matters including the vacant head coach role of the Super Eagles.
It is also clear from hints by the Nigeria sports minister that the failure of the Super Eagles to qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations will be part of the discussion with the football federation.
With tales of plans by the NFF leadership to turn to a foreign coach dominating media space in the country, Dalung has declared he is not a fan of bringing in a foreigner to take charge of the Super Eagles.
"I thought it is normal to x-ray the whole thing before we can apportion blame," the minister said ahead of Tuesday's meeting.
"I have not received any brief that our problem is coaching. Like I said when I had a media briefing here in Abuja (recently), if out of the abundance of resources we have in football and yet we are unable to adopt our own unique sporting tradition then I will have to be convinced that the only way out is a foreign coach; that cannot be an opinion or feelings of anybody.
