The technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have made the final three-man shortlist for the Super Eagles coaching job, TOTAL SPORTS, reports.
The technical committee sent three coaches’ names to its executive committee for the national team job.
The three coaches are Emmanuel Amuneke, Domenec Torrent and Antonio Conceicao.
Torrent once worked as an assistant coach to Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola.
Amuneke once coached the Tanzania national team and the Nigeria U-17 team.
Conceicao, on the other hand, was in charge of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Sports, John Enoh has revealed that the Super Eagles of Nigeria will have a new coach in the next two weeks.
He said this while speaking on Channels Televisions Sports on Thursday.
According to him, he has been in touch with the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, concerning a new permanent coach for the Super Eagles.
Enoh said, “Unfortunately, the senior national team doesn’t have a coach.
“The first responsibility of getting a coach lies with the NFF and I have been in touch with the NFF because I think Nigerians didn’t expect that after AFCON and after the contract with coach Peseiro came to an end and wasn’t renewed, that it will take as long and not have a coach yet.
“But NFF is conscious and mindful of our next qualifiers in June; what I can assure is that in the next one or two weeks at the most, that the senior national team will have a new coach.”
