The Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) decided that Shaibu Amodu,
the Technical Director of the NFF, and assistant coach Salisu Yusuf
would take charge of the Super Eagles on interim basis.
The decision was concluded
after Wednesday’s meeting of the NFF Technical Committee which took place at the
federation’s secretariat.
Yusuf will take charge of
the team, while Amodu will supervise, the meeting agreed.
The News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) gathered that the appointment would see the coaches lead the Eagles to
the two international friendly matches against Mali and Luxembourg’s national
teams on May 27th and June 1st respectively.
Imama Amapakabo, the coach
of Rangers International FC of Enugu, and Kennedy Boboye, the coach of Abia Warriors
FC of Umuahia, were appointed to assist, while Aloy Agu would remain the
goalkeeper trainer.
The match against Mali will
take place at the Stade Robert Diochon in Rouen, France, while Luxembourg will
host the Eagles in Luxembourg.
Chris Green, Chairman, NFF
Technical Committee, told NAN that the Super Falcons qualification and
preparations for the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations (AWCN) and the Dream Team
VI Olympics preparations were also discussed.
Green, who failed to give
further clarification on the meeting, said that he needed to get the permission
of NFF President Amaju Pinnick to give full details of the meeting.
“I have to get clearance;
most likely, if you call me this evening after we have talked to ourselves,
then I can release it. It will not be right for me to release it without
clearance; it is against our procedure. What we do is for the board to see it
first and then agree or throw it away.
I will be speaking with Mr
President, let him now coordinate his people and I will be able to release the
outcome,” Green said.
