The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is facing intense scrutiny over its handling of the selection process for the vacant Super Eagles head coach position. Italian coach Roberto Landi has raised serious concerns about the process, expressing frustration with how his application for the role has been managed, according to Soccernet.ng.
Landi, a former goalkeeper with a notable coaching career, applied for the position but has been disheartened by what he describes as a problematic and opaque selection procedure. His frustrations come in the wake of Bruno Labbadia’s abrupt withdrawal from consideration for the role, which was attributed to unresolved contractual issues.
The NFF’s handling of the coaching search has attracted criticism as stakeholders and fans await clarity on the future direction of the Super Eagles. The situation highlights ongoing challenges in the football administration and the need for a more transparent and efficient selection process for key positions within Nigerian football.
