You have sense good talk
ANOTHER AFCON2025 IS COMING NEXT YEAR.
NO WASTING OF TIME THIS TIME AROUND.
NFF SHOULD FINALIZE THE CONTRACT OF SUBSTANTIVE COACH FOR SUPER EAGLE, APPOINT FULL-TIME CAPTAIN FOR SUPER EAGLE & ALLOW MUSA TO HANG HIS BOOT(in order to give chance to young one) and apply as an assistant coach or mentorship. THEY SHOULD BEGIN PLANS FOR WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS, AFCON 2025 NOW.
Winning of next AFCON is guaranteed if they take heed to this advice
