Super Eagles defender William Troost-Ekong recently expressed his preference for a local coach to lead the Super Eagles, emphasizing the importance of cultural understanding and familiarity with players' backgrounds.



Troost-Ekong shared his views during a radio interview with Nigeria football legend Segun Odegbami on Eagles FM.

He highlighted the success of teams like Senegal and Ivory Coast, attributing their achievements to coaches who understand the culture and daily routines of the country.

Troost-Ekong acknowledged his positive experiences under both local and foreign coaches, citing Gernot Rohr's leadership during the World Cup and AFCON, as well as Jose Peseiro's achievements despite initial criticisms.

While advocating for a local coach, Troost-Ekong also emphasized the need for the best decision to be made for the team's success, regardless of nationality. He expressed readiness to work under any coach chosen by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

The NFF has yet to name a substantive head coach for the Super Eagles since Peseiro's departure in February, with candidates including former international Emmanuel Amuneke and two expatriates, Domenec Torrent and Antonio Conceicao, reportedly in contention for the position.

Troost-Ekong's comments reflect the ongoing debate surrounding the selection of the Super Eagles' head coach, with considerations for both local and foreign candidates.

As the search continues, the decision-makers will weigh various factors to ensure the best leadership for the team's future endeavors.
