Sports Minister John Enoh has said a new Super Eagles coach will be appointed in the next two weeks.
“What I can assure is the senior national team will have a new coach in the next ine week or at most two weeks,” the minister told Channel Sports Thursday night.
He said the NFF have taken their time to name a successor for Jose Peseiro because they plan for the Super Eagles to get back on track for the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign after a difficult start.
The Super Eagles drew their first two World Cup qualifiers with Lesotho and Zimbabwe in November.
“The campaign for the next World Cup has started and we didn’t start well, it was a shaky one and therefore there’s a lot of mileage to cover,” the sports minister said.
“We didn’t qualify for the last World Cup and can’t afford not to be at the next edition.
“The NFF know what Nigeria lost not being at the last World Cup and are doing everything not to repeat same mistake that will lead to the same disappointment.”
