The Nigeria Cricket Federation has appointed Zimbabwean tactician Stephen Mangongo as the new head coach of the Yellow Greens and the federation’s high-performance manager, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Our correspondent confirmed Mangongo’s appointment on Sunday ahead of his unveiling ceremony scheduled to take place on Wednesday, May 27, at the TBS Cricket Oval.
Mangongo replaces Kenyan coach Steve Tikolo, who held the role for more than three years between October 2022 and January 2026.
His appointment ends the NCF’s four-month search for Tikolo’s replacement as Nigeria prepares to compete in the ICC 2028 T20 World Cup qualifiers later this year.
