The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will name a technical director as well as a new coach for the women’s team next week Wednesday.
?
The NFF technical committee have recommended the candidates for the two top posts and the executive committee is to meet a day to the NFF AGM in Kaduna to ratify the technical committee’s decisions. Former Ethiopia and Namibia coach Tom Saintfiet is front runner for the technical director post, which one-time Lars Lagerback’s assistant Roland Andersson has also applied for. The Super Falcons, Olympic team and the Flying Eagles are without coaches. Falcons coach Eucharia Uche’s contract was not renewed, while Austin Eguavoen quit after he failed to qualify the country’s team to next year’s Olympics in London.

The contract of John Obuh as Flying Eagles coach has also ran out.
