The president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick has hinted that the country is making moves to employ the services of a world class coach who will assist the Super Eagles solve the problem of goal scoring.

Since the arrival of Sunday Oliseh as the chief coach of the team, Nigeria have managed only four goals in five competitive matches.
According to Africanfootball.com, Pinnick said: “Our coach (Sunday Oliseh) is a very sound coach, but we have to develop a way to score goals and that is why we are looking at some heavyweight coaches to help us in this regard.
Despite the fact that the Super Eagles remain unbeaten in their last five games, Nigerians are yet to be convinced on the pattern of play of the current crop of players that make-up the team having struggled against Niger, Swaziland and Tanzania.
Sunday Oliseh will certainly experience his coaching birth in 2016 as his team will battle the Pharaohs of Egypt at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers to be hosted in Gabon as well as begin their quest to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
