The questions as to whether the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will hire a foreign coach for the Super Eagles ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, will be known after the scheduled meeting with the Minister of Youth and Sports, Barrister Solomon Dalung today.
NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, last week gave a strong indication that the employment of a foreign manager for the national team will be confirmed today.
Former Oman and Cameroon national team coach, Paul Le Guen, has been touted as among the favourites for the post even though there are indications that some members of the NFF board are not in support of the move to bring a foreigner to coach the Super Eagles.
Mr Dalung, whose body language recently suggested that he is not impressed with the idea of a foreign coach for the Super Eagles, had frowned at the high turnover of coaches for the national team.
Aside the employment of Frenchman Le Guen, the NFF is expected to submit the report of the bungled 2017 Africa Nations Cup qualifiers to the minister, as well as the plan of action toward the World Cup qualifications.
The minister had dismissed Pinnick’s statement that a foreign coach will be named this week as mere rumour as he had not been briefed.
