Manchester United Youth Coach Eyes Super Eagles Head Job
In the wake of recent coaching changes, Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles, are on the hunt for stability and a fresh direction. And Jonathan Hill, a former Manchester United youth coach, is throwing his hat into the ring.
With his recent stint as assistant coach at Rotherham United in the English Football League now behind him, Hill has submitted his application to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for the head coaching position. In a recent interview, he expressed his excitement about the opportunity, citing the role’s demanding nature and the pressure to deliver exceptional results.
Hill has always been impressed by Nigerian players, noting their exceptional athleticism, technical skill, and boundless energy. He’s also keenly aware of the vast talent pool in the country and is committed to developing young players who fit the team’s philosophy and can help elevate the national squad’s performance on the international stage.
With Augustine Eguavoen having led the Super Eagles to qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, the NFF is still on the lookout for an expatriate coach to bring a fresh perspective to the team’s strategy and development. Hill’s enthusiasm and experience make him an attractive candidate for the position.
