The search for a new coach for the Nigerian senior team is expected to come to an end very soon with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) moving forward in talks with a coach. OwngoalNigeria.com reports.

The Super Eagles are without a coach since the departure of Finidi George after the disappointment of the last day of the World Cup qualifying phase, where they fell to fifth place in their group after drawing 1-1 with South Africa before losing 1-2 before Benin Republic.

According to the NFF in an official statement made available to the press, the football governing body will hire an expatriate coach for the team ahead of the next round of international matches in September.

It seems that significant progress has been made in that regard and a member of the NFF board of directors revealed to us that talks are progressing very well with a coach he described as world class, who is willing to take a pay cut to be the next Super Eagles. coach.

He said the coach is one of a number of managers who have expressed interest in taking over as head coach of the team, but is currently leading the race based on the recommendation of a former head of the football governing body.

An announcement is said to be imminent when the terms and conditions are finalized, particularly the make-up of their backroom staff, which is likely to feature a former Nigeria international.
