By By Victor Enyinnaya on May 5, 2022

The vex issue for the employment of a foreign technical adviser for the Super Eagles has ran into hitches as the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Sports Ministry are currently locked in cold war over which of the men to employ.

 Long weeks of investigation by Daily Sports revealed that NFF is still favourably disposed with the Portuguese national; Jose Vitor Peseiro while the Sports Minister is queuing behind former French national team and PSG coach, Blanc or any of the rest equally quality vastly experienced coaches with proven track records of high performance being recommended and interviewed by the technical and Development committee of the NFF.

It was further gathered that since the report was submitted to the NFF there has been an unease clam amongst the body not knowing how the report was leaked to the Sports Ministry which earnestly waiting for the football house bigwigs to come with the technical committee and development committee’s recommendation for briefing and note comparing.

According to our usual dependable sources in both camps they seem not to shift ground as at the time of filing in this report. For instance, it was said the NFF executive committee big boys are livid with anger on how the Sports Ministry is trying to take over their statutory job of employing a coach for all the national teams and vowed to resist it no matter what.

However, the insider sources added that Sports Ministry is still holding its ground based on the fact that a well qualified technical adviser would be engaged this term to turn around the fortunate of the fast dwindling Super Eagles team not minding the hide and seek game from the NFF.

“As the supervisory Ministry the responsibility is upon us to do this to the best of our knowledge and ability. This time around no matter whatever will be the blackmail and other sponsored attacks we won’t care so far the country gets the best from the pool already on ground. We are being long expected to step in and do the needful to save Nigeria’s Super Eagles side from this lowest performance ever and will not give in to any misgiving from anybody or group all in the overall best interest of the country and good of the game too,” the highly insider source vows.

It looks set now that there seems not to be end insight on the lingering issue of getting a new foreign technical adviser for the national team. It was learnt that except immediate intervention comes handy from above, the team may not have substantive technical hand before the first AFCON 2023 qualification game inside the main bowl of the M.K.O. Abiola National Stadium Abuja against Sierra Leonean national team in June.
