for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (second
time in succession) was quite painful,
Pinnick said the objective of reaching Russia
2018 was non –negotiable.

not from anywhere. We have an objective of
qualifying for Russia 2018 and that is not what
we can negotiate. That is one of the reasons I
am in the office today.
“The Board has to look at various areas of the
preparation as we countenance the draw for
the group phase of the series that is coming
up on 24th June.”
Pinnick addressed the media in his office at
the Glass House, in company with NFF
Executive Committee members Chris Green,

Pinnick also drew positives from the two
international friendly matches the Super
Eagles played in Europe against Mali and
Luxembourg, saying the two games unveiled
a young, vibrant team capable of taking
Nigeria football to new levels of excellence.
