New Super Eagles coach to emerge next week
Following the outcome of the executive committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), a new Super Eagles’ coach may emerge next week.
According to the communique released after the meeting held this Tuesday, the Executive Committee mandated its Technical and Development Sub-Committee to, within the next five days, make recommendations on coaching crews for the Super Eagles.
The deadline for the submission will either be on Sunday or Tuesday next week depending on whether the five days cover all days of the week or just the working days.
The mandate given for the naming of the coach also extends to the other national teams such as those for the African Nations Championship (CHAN), the U-20 side (Flying Eagles) and the U-17 boys (Golden Eaglets).
All the named teams have upcoming assignments.
The hopes of Libya securing a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations ticket seem to have gone up in smoke. This is the sequel to the 2-1 defeat that Rwanda inflicted on the Benin Republic on Tuesday evening.
With the result, Libya’s position is further cemented at the bottom of the table. Nigeria, even with an outstanding match, still leads with seven points.
They are followed by Benin Republic who have six points. Rwanda followed with five points.
The star men were Innocent Nshuti and Djihad Bizimana who scored in the space of two minutes as Rwanda came from behind to defeat Benin 2-1 at Amahoro Stadium on Tuesday, October 15.
Rwanda’s defeat of Benin Republic is not just their first win in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying series, the victory terminates a 12-year winless streak against the Cheetah of Benin.
It is also a renewal of their hopes of qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. But they still have two more games to play.
The German made two changes from the side that started against Benin last week as Samuel Gueulette and Emmanuel Imanishimwe came in for Kevin Muhire and Claude Niyomugabo respectively.
The press release on Tuesday by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) may have lifted a burden off Nigeria as the match with Libya is considered postponed rather than the Super Eagles refusing to play.
The continental body remarked that the matter would be referred to the competent CAF bodies.
