Nigeria - 2026/27 Update
AFCON has arrived and at the helm of the highest ranked African nation in the world I only had one aim, win the trophy.
We qualified from the group with relative ease but a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Mali was a bump in the road we could have done without.
Thankfully our defensive frailties were only a one game blip as we overcame Ghana, Cameroon and Morocco with a run of clean sheets. Our opponents in the final, Algeria, also managed the same feat.
and with that, another competition has been checked off!
The final was comfortable for the most part with a 2-0 lead until the Algerians scored a penalty with 15 minutes to play but it was the only chance they had of hitting the back of our net.
The search for a new International job is on...
