Super Eagles ex- international, Segun Odegbami, on Saturday called on the Nigeria Football Federation to look inward for an indigenous coach to handle the Super Eagles.

Odegbami made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday in Lagos State, noting that Nigeria needed a better hand to handle the Super Eagles.

“Unless we want to be enslaved forever, in our colonial mentality where we think that only the white can coach us to success.

“All around us, we hear about some Nigerians who are excelling in all fields of endeavours and they are leaving the country to go and help other countries.

“Football is not a rocket science, but a simple game. We have lots of Nigerians who have all the qualifications to take us to any level.

Portuguese manager, Jose Peseiro, confirmed his exit as coach of the Super Eagles after his contract officially expired on Thursday.

Peseiro guided the Eagles to a second-place finish at the 2023 African Cup of Nations, on Friday, saying he was fulfilled coaching the West African nation.
