As the Nigeria Football Associations ponders what to do next with coaching crew of the Super Eagles, Jonathan Hill a former Manchester United and Fulham youth coach says he wants to replace coach Austin Eguavoen.
Following the Super Eagles struggles under coach Eguaveon the NFF is under pressure to revisit the issue of hiring a foreign coach ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations and the World Cup qualifiers next year.
Speaking to Sports Boom Hill who has not coached any high-profile team said: “This is a role I truly fancy because of its demanding nature and the likelihood it brings to push one to do their best.
“It’s a great, untapped talent pool. I enjoy the cultural and sporting experiences, and I know I do well with them. And the profile it offers, you know. It’s a highly contested role, but with my strong resume, you might wonder why I’m not working at present. It’s a mystery.”
He said the Super Eagles who are second from bottom in their World Cup qualification group can still qualify after collecting three points from four games. “Qualification for the World Cup is definitely something that can be achieved as well.”
