The contract of Nigeria Football Federation technical director Augustine Eguavoen is set to expire in September, triggering expected changes in the NFF technical department. Eguavoen, a former Super Eagles defender, has held the position for five years and served two interim stints as head coach of the national team. His tenure began after the departure of former assistant coach Ben Duamlong. Alongside Eguavoen, the contracts of other technical committee members are also ending. According to Score Nigeria, the technical team has operated without full backing from top NFF officials during their term. With the expiration date approaching, multiple stakeholders are anticipated to lobby for positions within the department. No official announcement has been made by the NFF regarding succession or renewal.
