AFCON Qualifier: NFF chooses Ilechukwu, Ogunmodede to assist Eguavoen

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)has finalised the Super Eagles coaching staff before the upcoming international break, which begins this weekend.

According to a letter received by PREMIUM TIMES and circulated online, NFF has mandated two managers in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), Daniel Ogunmodede from Remo Stars and Fidelis Ilechukwu from Enugu Rangers, to assist interim coach Austin Eguavoen as the Super Eagles prepare for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers.
The Super Eagles’ coaching situation has been a hot topic since Finidi George abruptly left the position in May.

According to the NFF, attempts to secure German tactician Bruno Labbadia fell through because of complications related to German tax laws.
