The Super Eagles are still without a coach since Jose Peseiro left the post at the end of February.
Finidi George, who was one of the assistant coaches to Jose Peseiro took charge of the team for the friendlies against Black Stars of Ghana and Eagles of Mali next last month.

Omeruo has however indicated the importance of having a substantive coach in charge of the team before the crucial games in June.
“We started the World Cup qualifiers poorly, and that’s on us as players, but I do believe we have the quality to qualify for the World Cup. But we need to sort out the issue of head coach real quickly because June is just around the corner,” Omeruo told Brila.
The Super Eagles will host South Africa at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Friday, June 7.
They will take on neighbours Benin Republic few days later.
Based on the short time before the next crucial stage of games Amuneke is the best amongst all others… white men will need time to learn too many things about our football, food, culture, mentality, mind set, team structures, Nff incompetency, Nff corruption, unprofessional attitudes, media, and the names of all our players in just a short time to bed in, before he does? Nigeria would have lost or draw some games to be considered out.. then Nff President will come with yet more explanation and apologies @ give that gat damn job to AMUNEKE ALREADY NOW… FOOLISH NFF AND HIS TECHNICAL FAILURES COMMITTEE MEMBERS
NFF will probably appoint a coach 2 weeks to the June 3 match against SA, so the new coach has a ready and tenable excuse if results don’t go Nigeria’s way.
Like is anyone surprised? Is selecting a coach rocket science? Heck, it’s even more difficult!
Omeruo, let’s be patient please with the eggheads and geniuses at the NFF. Your blood too dey rush.
We should launch serious campaign against Gusau. He’s the most useless nff ppresidnt ever to me. Everything about his administration, from appointment of coaches, to players’ welfare, developmental programme to the local league, preparation for international competitions to referring is just zero.
I have long surrendered!!! If dem like dem give the coaching to Amuneke or bosso….na their problem be that….yeye NFF!!!
What’s so special about appointing a solid and cheap foreign coach for Nigeria…?
Nff just dey save money against the fact that they prefer to start payment of salary of the new coach a month before the matches….I hope they must have cleared Peseiro’s debt…
Guardiola’s guy will be the next super eagles coach….he has started working….he will submit his list for the matches immediately he is announced.
Like NFF, like NBBF……all bunch of corrupt rogues, supervised by even more corrupt and highly incompetent sports ministers.

Imagine the depths our Basketball has sunk since Sunday Dare sunk his poisonous teeth into our basketball and this man Mike Brown left in anger…!!
Why all these unnecessary delay by our Hugely incompetent Nff and his clueless technical committee! Amuneke is the for now the best to go with. Forget everything else against Amuneke he is the best he should be assisted by finidi if not better let amuneke choose his own back up assistant who will be loyal to him… foreign coach now is a big risk because of short time before the world Cup qualification games…
