The ceremony also marked the announcement of the much-awaited backroom staff, who will serve as first and second assistants, goalkeepers' trainer, fitness trainer, and analyst.

Former Super Eagles international Daniel Amokachi will assume the role of first assistant, with Germany-based Nigerian Benjamin James serving as second assistant.
