The plan by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to get a new coach for the senior national team of Nigeria is in full swing as they bid to give the new coach enough time to prepare for the upcoming world cup qualifiers in March, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
We gathered talks have advanced with a coach with the idea of appointing him either by the end of this year or very early next year. Already some conditions are been set in place in preparation for the arrival of the new coach.
Interim head coach Austine Eguavoen who guided the team through the qualifiers for the AFCON will return to his role as technical director of the NFF, but will work closely with the new coach in a different capacity which is very similar like that of an assistant coach.
His assistants Daniel Ogunmodede and Fidelis Ilechukwu will not be a part of the new setup, with the incoming coach said to be keen on bringing his own assistants to work with him.
Financial details of the deal was however sketchy as at the time of this report, but we gathered it should be around $40,000 a month.
