Following the expiration of Jose Peseiro's contract in February, the Super Eagles have been without a permanent coach
Allen Onyema, the CEO of Airpeace, has voiced his concerns to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) as regards hiring another foreign coach to lead the national team.
Following the expiration of Jose Peseiro's contract in February, the Super Eagles have been without a permanent coach, with Finidi George taking over on an interim basis.
"I don't see the reason why we cannot have a look into the country and get somebody out there that will take on the Super Eagles job. As far as I am concerned, Eguavoen succeeded to some level," Onyema said.
"A lot of them succeeded. The truth is that when a foreign coach bows out from the group stage, nobody talks; when a Nigerian coach bows out from the quarterfinals or semi-finals, oh, if it had been a foreign coach, we would have won the cup."
"Nobody gives Nigerian coaches a chance. Nigerians should rise up against any NFF that goes again to get any idiot as a foreign coach," he said.
