“And we need to understand some things. It is not about getting the coach but getting the best for the country.
With a lot of experiences we have had in past with of coaches, we need to go to the root of the problems and take our time, solve the issues and come up with the best.
“Right now, we don’t have any urgency, no qualifier, no competitive games, that is why we are trying to use the time to get the best for the country.
We want Nigerians to be patient, I am sure very soon we shall get the best for the country,” he assured.
Speaking on the forthcoming Super Eagles friendly matches, Akinwunmi said the federation was on course for the games.
“As far as I know, nothing has changed, the coach has called those he wanted and there is assurance from the federation so we are on course for the games.
“We want to seize the opportunity to launch those young lads that we tag future Super Eagles a n d those who are coming to blend together and understand what it takes to have that national crest “So, we are on course, the plan is already on ground,” he said.
