Jonathan Hill for Super Eagles coaching job

Former Manchester United youth coach, Jonathan Hill, has expressed interest in taking on the coaching job of Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles.

This comes at a time when the Super Eagles are seeking stability and a new direction following recent changes in the coaching staff.

Note that a former Nigeria international, Augustine Eguavoen, has successfully led the Super Eagles to qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Despite this achievement, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) remains focused on bringing in an expatriate coach who can provide a fresh perspective and approach to the team’s strategy and development.

Hill, who recently concluded his tenure as the assistant coach at Rotherham United in the English Football League, has already taken proactive steps by submitting his application to the NFF for the head coaching position.

In a conversation with Sports Boom, he shared his enthusiasm for the role, stating, “This is a position I very much fancy because of its demanding nature and the relentless pursuit of delivering top results.”

He highlighted his admiration for Nigerian players, noting, “I’ve always known Nigerian players to be incredibly athletic, technically skilled, and brimming with energy.”

Hill emphasized the extensive talent pool in Nigeria and expressed his commitment to nurturing young players who align with the team’s philosophy and can elevate the national squad’s performance on an international stage.
