The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced the search for a new head coach for the Nigeria U-20 men’s national team, the Flying Eagles, following the expiration of Ladan Bosso’s contract.

Bosso’s tenure concluded with an underwhelming performance at the Africa Games in Ghana.

As the team prepares for the qualifiers for the 2025 U-20 World Cup in Chile, the NFF is looking to appoint a new coach to lead the squad.

In a press release, the NFF outlined the qualifications and requirements for the position, inviting applications from coaches of all ages, whether based locally or abroad.

The criteria for the Nigeria U-20 coaching role include:

Candidates must possess at least a CAF B License, have a minimum of five years of coaching experience, and possess a thorough knowledge of Nigeria’s domestic leagues.

The ideal coach must be proficient in English and demonstrate strong communication skills.

Leadership qualities and the ability to work collaboratively with the NFF Technical Department and Technical Sub-Committee are also essential.

Applicants must be of good standing and transparent in the discharge of their duties.

Candidates should have a track record of success in coaching within the past three years and be ready to work harmoniously with the NFF leadership.

The application process will close on Sunday, August 4, 2024, followed by a thorough screening process, culminating in the selection of a successful candidate.
