NFF Refuses to Appoint Winfried Schafer as Super Eagles Coach

The Super Eagles’ coaching situation has once again been the subject of attention, particularly in light of recent reports.

Since the June international window, Nigeria’s senior men’s football team has been without a permanent head coach. In an effort to provide the squad with guidance, Augustine Eguavoen has served as an interim coach.

Nevertheless, Guardian Sports has recently reported that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has reportedly reached an agreement with a German tactician to serve as the new head coach of the Super Eagles.

The report states that the federation has agreed with veteran coach Winfried Schäfer, and an official announcement will follow soon.

A senior NFF official addressed the situation in response to the varied reactions surrounding the rumored appointment of the former Cameroon leader.

A Nigeria Football Federation chief, who preferred to remain anonymous, denied that Winfried Schäfer had reached an agreement to become the Super Eagles head coach in response to the purported appointment of the new manager, as reported by BSN Sport.

He declared, “We are not cognisant of that.”

“While the federation is still searching for a suitable coach for the Super Eagles, we are not in contact with Schäfer.”

Schäfer has coached both within and outside of Africa and has a plethora of experience managing various teams throughout his illustrious tenure.

The 74-year-old has served as the head coach of the Cameroonian national team from 2001 to 2004, the Jamaican national team from 2013 to 2016, and most recently, the Qatari club Al-Khor, where he served as the head coach until 2021.
