Indigenous coach appointed for Super Eagles
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has made a significant decision. They’ve selected an indigenous tactician to replace Jose Peseiro as the head coach of the Super Eagles.
After deliberations between the executive committee of the NFF and the technical committee, they agreed to appoint a local coach for the team.
According to an inside source, the NFF plans to unveil the new coach later this week.
Jose Peseiro, the former handler of the team, departed as his contract expired in February.

Looking ahead, the Super Eagles have crucial matches against South Africa and Benin Republic in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers this June.
