NFF President Amaju Pinnick says he will make sure he signs a foreign
coach for the Super Eagles and that he won't go back on that promise as
he isn't prepared to put the hopes of the Super Eagles Russia 2018 World
Cup bid on a local coach.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after arriving from Alexandria, where the
Super Eagles lost to Egypt in a tightly contested AFCON Nations Cup 2017
qualifier, Pinnick said Nigeria's fortunes can be improved just like
Egypt if a foreign coach is employed.
''I cannot put our World Cup hopes on a local coach, we need a world class coach to reshape our football'' “That is why I cannot compromise my decision for a foreign coach (Cuper's success with Egypt). Egypt have so many professionals abroad, but Cuper used only five and he still went ahead to get the desired result. That is why I am insisting on a foreigner for the Eagles.
