NFF to Hire Foreign Technical Adviser After Super Eagles’ Poor Qualifying Run
The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has decided to appoint a foreign technical adviser for the Super Eagles following their underwhelming performance in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
This move aims to inject fresh expertise and strategies into the national team, which has struggled to meet expectations on the international stage.
The decision to seek foreign guidance comes in the wake of mounting criticism and pressure to enhance the team’s competitiveness.
Despite interim coach Finidi George’s efforts, the Super Eagles’ recent outings have highlighted the need for a more experienced and tactical approach to management.
By bringing in an international coach, the NFF hopes to leverage global football knowledge and techniques to rejuvenate the team and improve their future prospects.
This step is seen as crucial in aligning Nigerian football with global standards and ensuring that the Super Eagles can once again become a dominant force in world football.
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.”
