The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has officially announced vacancies for the positions of head coach for both the Super Eagles and the Golden Eaglets, calling on qualified and passionate coaches to apply for these prestigious roles, MySportDab reports.
Following the departure of Jose Peseiro, who led the Super Eagles to a commendable second-place finish at the AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire, the NFF seeks a new leader to guide the senior men’s national team.
Peseiro’s contract expired on February 29, 2024, and his subsequent announcement on social media confirmed his departure from the role. While there were speculations of a possible reappointment, the latest development suggests a definitive end to his two-year tenure with the NFF.
Simultaneously, the NFF has opened applications for the vacant coaching position at the National U-17 Men’s Team, the Golden Eaglets, previously managed by Nduka Ugbade.
The team’s disappointing performance at the last U-17 AFCON championship has prompted the federation to seek a new coach capable of revitalizing the squad and guiding them to success on the international stage.
The official announcement from the NFF, disseminated through their social media channels, outlines the requirements for interested applicants for both positions:
Vacancy 1: Head Coach of the Senior Men’s National Team (Super Eagles)
The NFF seeks a passionate and experienced football coach ready to undertake the challenge of leading the Super Eagles. The requirements include relevant coaching qualifications, proven experience at the elite level of football management, and a successful track record of leading teams. Knowledge of African football is considered an added advantage.
Interested candidates can submit their applications to the designated email address or through provided links, with a deadline set for 6pm on Tuesday, March 12, 2024.
Vacancy 2: Head Coach of the U-17 Boys National Team (Golden Eaglets)
The Golden Eaglets, Nigeria’s U-17 Boys National Team, are in search of a dedicated and experienced coach passionate about youth development and coaching. While specific requirements are not detailed, adequate experience in coaching is emphasized.
Both vacancies present exciting opportunities for skilled coaches to contribute to the development and success of Nigerian football at both the senior and youth levels. As applications are invited, the football community awaits eagerly to see who will be appointed to lead these prestigious teams into the future.
