The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is reportedly on the verge of finalizing the appointment of a new head coach for the Super Eagles. Following the departure of Finidi George, the NFF has been actively searching for a foreign tactician to lead the national team, and it appears that this month-long search is approaching a conclusion.

Although French coach Hervé Renard had been identified as a frontrunner for the position, recent reports by Nigerian football expert Oluwashina Okeleji suggest that the federation has shifted its focus to a Swedish candidate. While the details of the candidate have not been publicly disclosed, the NFF's decision aligns with its commitment to enhancing the team's performance on the international stage.

The anticipated appointment underscores the NFF's dedication to revitalizing the Super Eagles as they look to strengthen their competitive edge in upcoming tournaments. Fans and stakeholders will be eagerly awaiting the official announcement, hopeful that the new coach will bring fresh strategies and a successful vision for the team.
