Plateau United's Coach Mbwas Mangut Misses Out on Super Eagles Assistant Role



Coach Mbwas Mangut of Plateau United recently fell short of securing the role of assistant coach for Nigeria's national team, the Super Eagles. Initially, Mangut was considered a strong candidate to support Coach Austin Eguavoen during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. His impressive track record with Plateau United, particularly their formidable attacking performance, made him a noteworthy choice.

Under Mangut's leadership, Plateau United exhibited an exceptional offensive capability, netting 53 goals in the previous season. This striking success underscored his tactical acumen and his team's dynamic playing style. Despite finishing 5th on the league table, Mangut's coaching achievements were notable and suggested he could bring valuable expertise to the Super Eagles.

Nevertheless, the final decision for the assistant coach position ultimately favored candidates with experience in leading teams to continental competitions. This preference reflects a strategic choice aimed at leveraging proven success on broader stages, which may have impacted Mangut’s potential appointment.

While Mangut did not secure the role, his accomplishments with Plateau United highlight his coaching skills and potential. His future opportunities remain promising as he continues to build on his impressive record in Nigerian football.
