This is according to SCORENigeria’s source, saying the football body are working on getting a foreign coach for the senior men national team, Eagles, before the resumption of the World Cup qualifiers in March.

“The NFF are still seriously working on employing a foreign coach for the Super Eagles. They have been doing a lot of discussions, negotiations and consultations away from the public glare and very soon the process will be concluded,” top source revealed to SCORENigeria.

NFF President Ibrahim Gusau recently disclosed that they have approached various sponsors over the payment of the salaries of a new foreign coach.

“We are currently in discussion with Dangote Group, BUA, MTN, Baba Ijebu and others on the payment of foreign coach,” Gusau said.

“Though, Eguavoen is doing well, but if we must engage a coach, we must make sure that the issue of payment is sorted.”

Recalls that in June, the NFF announced they will engage a foreign coach for the Super Eagles after Finidi George quit the post following a run of disappointing results in crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Augustine Eguavoen, who has been in temporary charge of the Super Eagles after move to hire the German Bruno Labbadia collapsed, has delivered on qualifying Nigeria to the 2025 AFCON in Morocco.

However, the Super Eagles could only manage a point out of a possible six in final 2025 AFCON qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda, last month.

They forced Benin to a 1-1 draw in Abidjan, before they suffered a shock 2-1 loss at home to Rwanda to conclude the qualifying campaign to Morocco 2025.

Incidentally, both Benin and Rwanda are in the same 2026 World Cup qualifying with Nigeria.

Rwanda lead the standings after four rounds of matches with  seven points ahead of South Africa and Benin, who also have recorded seven points each but have inferior goals difference.

Nigeria, on the other hand, languish second from bottom with three points to leave their hopes of qualifying for the biggest World Cup ever in complete shambles.

The Super Eagles will resume their World Cup qualifying campaign in March against leaders Rwanda in Kigali before they welcome bottom team Zimbabwe.
