The Super Eagles have their best crop of players in recent years but the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has come under criticism for their lack of direction.
Former Chelsea youth star Kenneth Omeruo has hit out at the NFF over their lack of direction with the current Super Eagles squad.
Omeruo believes there are many talented players in Nigeria’s team, but the NFF is not helping the team with the uncertainty surrounding the coaching situation.

NFF boss drops major hint on Peseiro and Waldrum's futures
NFF president Ibrahim Gusau has dropped a major hint about the future of Super Eagles boss Jose Peseiro and Super Falcons' Randy Waldrum
The Super Eagles play their final Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sao Tome and Principe in September, but there is no clarification on who will be in charge of the team.
Omeruo not happy with NFF
Jose Peseiro had been in charge of the previous games, but his contract expired last month, with the NFF yet to agree a new deal with him.
Although both parties are expected to hold talks over a new deal, they are unlikely to reach an agreement before the match next month.
As a result, Omeruo has criticised the NFF for failing to sort out the embarrassing situation, saying the players need a stable technical crew to perform like they do at their clubs. The former Middlesbrough man said this in an interview with Arise TV.

“We do not even know who will be the coach in the next game. It is crazy, and it has to be fixed,” Omeruo added.
