As the calls for the appointment of a substantive coach for the Super Eagles heightens, following last Friday’s 2018 World Cup qualifying draw which pitched the Eagles against Zambia, Cameroon and Algeria, the president of the Nigeria Football Coaches Association (NFCA) and former coach of Plateau United, Bitrus Bewarang, has advised the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to drop the idea of hiring a foreign coach.
He insisted that it is time to give the indigenous coaches their rightful place, rather than take technical decisions without the input of the coaches.
Bewarang opined that the difficult World Cup qualifying group Nigeria found herself in called for a home-grown approach to getting the ticket for Russia 2018.

He emphasised that those who understood the African football terrain, especially Nigerian coaches, should be given the opportunity to handle the Super Eagles.
He used the opportunity to pay tribute to Stephen Keshi and Amodu Shuaibu, describing them as “world class coaches” who were not recognised until their death.
He asked the NFF to, as a sign of respect for these coaches, look inwards and identify from the pool of competent coaches in Nigeria and appoint a coach for the Super Eagles.
