The technical sub-committee of the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF), has appointed its
National Technical Director, Shuaibu Amodu, as
the new interim coach of the Super Eagles.
He will lead a quartet of Salisu Ibrahim, Alloy
Agu, Imama Amakapabo and Kennedy Boboye,
for the two international friendly games against
Mali and Luxembourg.
The NFF technical committee made the
recommendation to the Executive Committee
after hours of deliberation and argued that the
two NPFL coaches, Amakapabo and Boboye,
were included for exposure to top level football.
Amakapabo coaches Enugu Rangers, while
Boboye is Abia Warriors’ manager.
Samson Siasia and Emmanuel Amuneke, who
were in charge before now have been dropped,
but Alloy Agu remains the goalkeeper trainer.
“Part of the recommendations we gave to the
Executive Committee of the federation is that
Amodu will supervise the technical crew to be
headed by the Salisu,” a source told Leadership.
“We also recommended the drafting of two
league coaches into the crew and we went for
Rangers and Abia Warriors chief coaches, just as
we settled for Agu as the goalkeeper trainer.
“We went for the two league coaches to expose
them with those two matches. I know that
Nigerians will ask why Siasia and Amunike did
not continue with the team, but we all know
that they are very much engaged and committed
with their teams.
“Our plans and expectations will be to provide
every help to Siasia to win the Olympic Games
trophy. The appointment will be for the two
friendly matches, after which we will continue
with the hiring of a substantive coach for the
team”, he added.
