The competition kicks off on January 9, 2022, in Cameroon.
NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, said during an interactive session with sports editors, in Lagos, that the Federation has reached an advanced stage in its bid to recruit a new technical adviser for the Super Eagles.
He added that the new man, a European, barring any unforeseen hiccup, will be unveiled sometime next week.
Pinnick revealed that the NFF has interviewed the three coaches, who made the shortlist of candidates for the job.
Among the three coaches considered for the Super Eagles’ job are Jose Peseiro and Mladen Krstajic, the latter, who, however, has joined Israeli side, Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The NFF boss dispelled insinuations that the Federation does not value its Technical Director, Austin Eguavoen, saying the former Super Eagles captain has a vital role to play in the system.
