Consulting firm delaying the appointment of Nigerian national team coaches
President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick has stated the reason for a delay in the appointment of coaches for several national teams.
The women’s national team the Super Falcons of Nigeria are without a coach as well as other men’s youth teams.
In a statement on his official Twitter handle, Pinnick revealed that there is an ongoing process for the appointment of the coaches but the delay is from teh consulting firm screening the candidates.
The message by Pinnick said, “On the vacant positions in Nigerian football, I’m hopeful that a Technical Director will be announced soon, as we are still having extensive consultations.
With regards to a Coach for the Super Falcons, Africa’s biggest female football team, Phillips Consulting, in charge of the recruitment process, are putting finishing touches to it and a Coach will be announced soon. This also applies to Coaches for the different cadres of our National Teams.
I’d like to ask that you tarry with us a while.”
