The Nigeria Football Federation stated on Thursday night that overhauling of the playing squad and technical crew of the national football team, the Super Eagles is inevitable, for better performance of the team in future international assignments.
Two–time African champions Nigeria fell 1-0 to Ghana’s Black Stars in the semi-final of the African Nations Cup championship in Angola, in a match the Super Eagles should have won convincingly.
“We will take a critical look and make changes to the technical team and the players.
“The NFF Executive Committee has already directed the technical committee to submit a comprehensive report of the team’s performance here, in a matter of days. This report will guide the Executive Committee in making pertinent changes,” said Taiwo Ogunjobi, Member of NFF Executive Committee and chairman of its Technical Committee.
Ogunjobi added: “There is also the need to inject fresh legs into the team in order to engender keen competition for places. Our goal is to make necessary changes that will lead us to a creditable performance at the Fifa World Cup finals in South Africa this summer.
“However, we are determined to ensure that we motivate the team well enough to win the bronze medal match of the 27th African Nations Cup in Angola on Saturday.”
