Initial reports suggested that Swede manager Janne Andersson has been selected as the next manager pending official confirmation, but talks broke down on some terms.
NFF re-enter talks for Renard
According to OwnGoal Nigeria, the NFF have resumed discussions with French head coach Herve Renard to be the next manager of the Super Eagles.
The federation was initially in contact with the Frenchman but decided against hiring him due to his wage demands, which the country could not afford.
Renard is available to take up a job after leaving his position as the France Women's team manager after his contract expired following the Paris 2024 Olympics.
According to Nigerian journalist Tobi Adepoju, an agreement over a new manager is unlikely to be reached, and a local coach is expected to serve as interim manager for the September international break.
Many reports suggest that this is leaning towards technical director Austin Eguavoen taking over on an interim basis until the search for a foreign head coach is completed.
The Eagles will face Benin Republic and Rwanda in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers group stage match one and two.
