Omeruo urges NFF to appoint new coach for Super Eagles before World Cup qualifiers
Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omeruo, has called on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to sort out the appointment of new head coach for the team as soon as possible.
The three-time African champions are still without a substantive head coach after Portuguese Jose Peseiro left the post at the end of February.
Former international winger, Finidi George took charge of the team for the friendlies against Ghana and Mali last month.
Omeruo, who plays for Turkish club, Kasimpasa however said it is important to have a new head coach in place for the team’s next 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Bafana Bafana of South Africa and Squirrels of Benin.
“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.
