Former Nigerian international Mutiu Adepoju has distanced himself from reports that he applied for the job of the Super Eagles.
The widely acclaimed ‘Headmaster,’ who was part of Nigeria’s 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winning squad in Tunisia and team to their maiden FIFA World Cup outing at USA ’94, stressed that the report is false.
In an interview with Nigeria Info FM Abuja, Adepoju stated that he has no intention of coaching the Super Eagles and will only support calls for an indigenous coach for the job.

“I never spoke about the Super Eagles’ appointment. I never applied, and I am sure the NFF did not mention my name.
“I already supported calls for an indigenous coach for the job. I was happy to hear that Amokachi, Finidi, and Amuneke applied. The NFF then announced their choice.
“Will I then go behind them and apply in secret?” Adepoju, who is now an ambassador of the Spanish Liga in Nigeria, pondered.
“I was just looking at my time in Spain, with Castella and Real Madrid.
“I spoke about it on my X handle. It was just about how I got to Spain, but nothing about the Super Eagles. I don’t know where they got their story from.”
