Nigeria Football Federation are now set to find the best candidate to take up the job of handling the national team and they are sailing across border.
In the communiqué released after Keshi’s sack, NFF appointed Shaibu Amodu to lead the team, but only for their remaining AFCON qualifier matches and while they seek a befitting replacement.
While the men at the NFF choose to remain mute on their plans, AfricanFootball.com gathered that they want a foreign coach to take over the job and Dutch football manager Ruud Gullit is topping the list of preferred successor.
“Nigeria’s contacts in Europe are first to sound out Gullit whether he will be open to handle the Super Eagles and if he would be available,”a top source told AfricanFootball.com
“It will be only after this contact that other considerations like the duration of the contract and the personal terms of Gullit would be tabled.”
