After Italy’s Football Shake-Up, Why Won’t NFF Leaders Step Down?
Italy’s football president, head coach and delegation chief all resigned after back-to-back World Cup failures. Paolo Maldini has now been appointed to lead a fresh Azzurri project under new FIGC leadership. Many Nigerian fans are asking why no one at the Nigeria Football Federation has offered to resign after the Super Eagles missed the last two World Cups. One supporter contrasted Italy’s accountability with calls for loyalty at all costs in Nigerian sports governance. Others point out that face-value changes may not fix systemic issues unless there is a clear mechanism to remove underperforming officials. The real question, they say, is who can hold the NFF to account.
