The search for a new coach for the senior national team of Nigeria is expected to come to an end very soon with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) making progress in talks with a coach, OwngoalNigeria.com reports.
Super Eagles have been without a coach since the exit of Finidi George after the disappointment of the last round of games in the world cup qualifiers, where they dropped to 5th in their group after drawing 1-1 with South Africa before losing 1-2 to Benin Republic.
According to the NFF in an official release made available to the press, the football-governing body will employ an expatriate coach for the team before the next round of international games in September.
It appears significant progress has been made in that regards with a member of the board of the NFF revealing to us that talks are progressing nicely with a coach he termed as world class, who is willing to take a pay cut to be the next Super Eagles coach.
He said the coach is one out of the huge number of coaches who have signify their interest in taking over as coach of the team, but he currently leads the race based on recommendation from a former chieftain of the football body.
An announcement is said to be imminent when terms and conditions are concluded, particularly the composition of his backroom staff which will likely have a former Nigeria international in it.
