 THE Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Technical Sub-committee will on Tuesday hold a crucial meeting at the secretariat of the football federation to finalise the pro­tracted engagement of a substantive chief coach for the Super Eagles.

A reliable source who made the disclo­sure in a telephone chat with Daily Sun­sports at the weekend maintained that the parley had become pertinent to rest the speculations on whether the federation will settle for a foreign or local coach.

The caretaker coach, Salisu Yusuf, had recently boasted that he is the most quali­fied coach in Nigeria to step into the vacant position, having acted as the assistants to many of the chief coaches, warning the federation that it is either the position or nothing.

However, commenting on coach Sal­isu’s stand, a member of the technical sub-committee, noted that he won’t want to comment on it since the committee would finally resolve the lingering issue, stressing that it would be settled finally in its recom­mendations to the executive committee of NFF.

“Yes, we have heard the com­ment attributed to Salisu that it is either the top position or nothing but I won’t want to dabble into that since everything about who handles Super Eagles.

“The technical committee meet­ing will be held on Tuesday at the Glass House. The committee will send a recommendation to the ex­ecutive committee after streamlin­ing the roadmap towards engaging a substantive chief coach for the team,” he said.
