Speaking with Brila.net, Chukwu expressed concerns over the uncertainty surrounding the coaching role.

He mentioned hearing rumors about a potential appointment but noted that time is running out for the team to get organized.

“I heard that NFF wants to give an indigenous coach a temporary job before they get a foreign coach. I don’t know their plans, but it’s getting later as we have a match in September. I don’t know their plans now,” Chukwu stated.

The former Coach also highlighted the importance of the technical department in supporting the coach, particularly in selecting the right players for the qualifiers.

“Maybe the technical department will advise the coach, and the coach might know some players he will add, but the technical department will give him the full list of the players they feel they can invite,” Chukwu added.
