Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omeruo has advised the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to speed up the appointment of new head coach for the team.
The Super Eagles are still without a substantive head coach after Portuguese Jose Peseiro left the post at the expiration of his contract in February.
The three-time African champions have two crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic scheduled for June.
Omeruo stated that it is important to have a substantive coach in place before the two games.
“We started the World Cup qualifiers poorly, and that’s on us as players, but I do believe we have the quality to qualify for the World Cup. But we need to sort out the issue of head coach real quickly because June is just around the corner,” Omeruo told Brila.
The Super Eagles will host South Africa at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Friday, June 7.
They will take on neighbours Benin Republic few days later.
