Former president of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has hinted that the NFF will announce the appointment of a substantive coach for the Super Eagles before the resumption of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Since June 2024, the NFF has been without a permanent head coach, with Augustine Eguavoen stepping in to manage the team’s affairs.
However, Pinnick, in a chat on Friday’s edition of Channels Television’s Sports Tonight, said that the NFF is working round the clock to appoint a capable and enterprising foreign coach for the team.

“Any moment from now, I am sure they would be announcing a coach, an enterprising coach at that,” he said.
Currently, the Super Eagles are in fifth place in Group C of the FIFA World Cup qualification standings, having yet to secure a victory in their first four matches.
The team faces the formidable task of winning all their remaining games to have a shot at qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
