Amaju Pinnick, President of the Nigeria Football Federation, has indicated that a new head coach for the country’s senior national team will be named by Thursday.
The Super Eagles have been without a full-time manager since December 2021, following Gernot Rohr’s dismissal, and Nigerians have been waiting for an announcement of a new manager.
