December 29, (THEWILL) – Jose Paseiro has been named the new Super Eagles manager by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The NFF’s Executive Committee made this known in a communique made accessible to the public on Wednesday.
The communique read: “After careful consideration of a memo presented by Chairman of the Technical and Development Sub-Committee, the Executive Committee endorsed a proposal for the appointment of Mr Jose Paseiro as the new Head Coach of the Super Eagles, following the end to the relationship with Mr Gernot Rohr.
“However, the committee resolved that Mr Augustine Eguavoen, named the interim Head Coach, will lead the Super Eagles to the AFCON 2021 in Cameroon with Mr Paseiro only playing the role of observer.
“It was unanimously agreed that the AFCON is a good avenue for Mr Paseiro to launch a working relationship with Mr Eguavoen, who will revert to his role as Technical Director (hence Mr Paseiro’s immediate boss) after the AFCON.”
The Executive Committee also directed the Technical and Development Committee and the NFF Secretariat to organise a friendly match for the Super Eagles when they arrive in Garoua for the AFCON 2021, as well as to schedule international friendlies for the Super Eagles and the Super Falcons during the upcoming FIFA window
