In a bid to address the Super Eagles’ recent struggles, the NFF emerged from a meeting on Wednesday with a series of crucial decisions. It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall.It was not stated whether coach Finidi George will work under the incoming foreign coach like he did under Jose Peserio or he will be completely kicked out of the national team.
“The original plan was to hire another capable expatriate coach to replace Peserio but they said no money for that when we approached the ministry,” a source that was part of the process to get a coach for the Super Eagles earlier this year, told PREMIUM TIMES.Aside from hiring an expatriate coach, the NFF also said they are committed to strengthening the technical foundation of the national team.
Looking beyond the immediate coaching changes and player scouting, the NFF recognises the need for broader collaboration. At Premium Times, we firmly believe in the importance of high-quality journalism. Recognizing that not everyone can afford costly news subscriptions, we are dedicated to delivering meticulously researched, fact-checked news that remains freely accessible to all.
