The coaching scenario surrounding the Super Eagles remains a prominent topic that continues to dominate Nigeria's footballing circles.

A flurry of managers have continued to declare their desire to lead the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finalists, following the departure of Jose Peseiro.

Emmanuel Amunike, Sunday Oliseh, and Henry Makinwa, among many others, have openly declared their intent to coach the Super Eagles, with even a few going further to outline their plan to ensure they achieve maximum success with the Nigerian team.

The latest to join in on this conversation of being the ideal fit to coach the Super Eagles is the United States' U19 coach, Michael Nsien.

Speaking in an interview, as captured by Brila.net, the former FC Tulsa coach expressed his confidence in his candidacy, emphasising that he is the ideal candidate to build on the positives from the Super Eagles' performance at the AFCON in Ivory Coast. He stated:

"I think I have a ton of experience, and I am definitely worth the amount that rumours have it that they [NFF] have offered the former coach previously and things like that."

This statement from the US-trained coach appears to be a measured response to the ongoing discussions about his suitability to lead the Super Eagles.

Coach Nsien's managerial record, according to data courtesy of Brila.net, includes 107 games managed, with 37 victories, 25 draws, and 45 losses.
