Eagles coach: We’ll be fair in our selection

Adegboye Onigbinde

The Nigeria Football Federation Technical committee has not decided who takes charge of the Super Eagles, says Adegboye Onigbinde and Christian Chukwu.

Both Onigbinde and Chukwu are members of the committee, which was inaugurated on Tuesday in Abuja.

The committee is scheduled to interview Stephen Keshi and Samson Siasia for the vacant Eagles coaching job in Abuja on Thursday.

In a telephone interview with our correspondent on Wednesday, Onigbinde and Chukwu assured that the committee would be fair in its selection.

Onigbinde said, ”We‘re yet to see the files of the two coaches so it is wrong for anyone to assume we‘ve made our choice. We‘ll not choose a coach on sentiment; we‘re going to judge them by what they present.”

The former Eagles, who was part of the team that interviewed the foreign coaches before the eventual appointment of former coach Lars Lagerback, said he would expect surprises at the interview on Thursday.

”Lagerback surprised us with his style of presentation and depth of his knowledge of Nigerian players,” he said. ”If anyone of these two will hope to get the job, he‘ll have to tell us what we don‘t know. I‘ll want them to display their knowledge of our football.”
