Labbadia named Nigeria Head coach as NFF release squad for AFCON qualifiers | Episode 91 | 27.8.24

In this episode, I talk about the announcement of the new Super Eagles head coach and give my opinions about the decision and expectations. 

The NFF also announced the squad list for our AFCON qualifiers against Benin & Rwanda so I touch on the squad & give my thoughts

I also review all the football action from the weekend, including Alex Iwobi’s winner against Ndidi’s Leicester. I also touch on the impressive performances by Cyriel Dessers, Moses Simon and Josh Maja.

I round off the podcast by crowning this week’s star boy, games involving Nigerian players to keep an eye on this week, and Nigeria football news, including CAF Champions League qualifiers.
