Following the departure of José Peseiro after the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, the Nigerian national team has been without a coach. After several weeks of deliberation, a suitable candidate seems to have been found. According to Nigerian journalist Ojora Babatunde, the NFF is preparing to announce Emmanuel Amunike as the new coach of the Super Eagles. The former international and Olympic gold medalist is expected to take charge of the team for the 2025 African Cup of Nations and the 2026 World Cup.
