“I want to manage the Eagles” – Fashanu Hopes to Coach Nigeria’s Super Eagles
Former England international John Fashanu has shared his ambition to become the next head coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
The ex-Aston Villa and Norwich City striker, who is passionate about Nigerian football, believes he has the skills to lead the three-time African champions. In a recent interview in Ogun State, Fashanu expressed his confidence, saying, “I want to manage the Eagles. It’s one of the toughest jobs in the country, but I know I can do it, especially with the right people around me who truly understand the game.”
At 62, Fashanu, born in England to a Nigerian father and a British mother, has always had ties to Nigeria. Though he represented England twice on the international stage, his connection to Nigeria remains strong. Fashanu even once ran for president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). Currently, Malian coach Eric Chelle manages the Super Eagles.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
