Eggheads of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has revealed that the nation’s football governing body will soon appoint new coaches for the Super Eagles, the Flying Eagles alongside the Golden Eaglets.
This development was confirmed after an NFF executive committee meeting headed by NFF president Amaju Pinnick on Tuesday, April 4, in Abuja.
