After the failure in the round of 16 of CAN 2021 and in the play-offs of the 2022 World Cup, the Nigerian Federation (NFF) has sacked Augustin Eguavoen and all his staff. In search of a new coach, the body would have received several candidatures, of which 4 would have caught its attention, affirms this Monday the local media The New Telegraph.
Among them, the former coach of the France team and ex-coach of PSG, Laurent Blanc, free since his departure from Al Rayyan in February and also tracked by Morocco in the event of the dismissal of Vahid Halilhodzic. But also the Spaniard Ernesto Valverde, the former coach of FC Barcelona (2010-2020) and the former Dutch glory Philip Cocu. After his aborted arrival in February, the Portuguese José Peseiro would complete this quartet.
The next coach of the Super Eagles will therefore be visibly European.
