21 Kenneth Omeruo has urged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to appoint a new head coach for the Super Eagles before the team’s next 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic.
The Super Eagles are still without a coach since Jose Peseiro left the post at the end of February.
Finidi George, who was one of the assistant coaches to Jose Peseiro took charge of the team for the friendlies against Black Stars of Ghana and Eagles of Mali next last month.
Omeruo has however indicated the importance of having a substantive coach in charge of the team before the crucial games in June.
“We started the World Cup qualifiers poorly, and that’s on us as players, but I do believe we have the quality to qualify for the World Cup. But we need to sort out the issue of head coach real quickly because June is just around the corner,” Omeruo told Brila.
The Super Eagles will host South Africa at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Friday, June 7.
They will take on neighbours Benin Republic few days later.
