Zinari News report that the NFF have now reached out to former Zambia and Morocco coach Herve Renard over the vacant Super Eagles top coaching post.
The Super Eagles coaching role has been vacant since former Ajax star, Finidi George, resigned from his role after less than two months in charge of the team.
Despite previous denials, recent reports indicate that the NFF is now actively pursuing Hervé Renard, who previously managed Saudi Arabia, in their bid to secure a 2026 World Cup ticket. These new developments come amid financial concerns voiced by Nigerian football fans regarding the potential hire.
A top official said that Renard has been sounded out through his agent.
It was further gathered that the official approach was to know whether he would be available for the job as well as to get an idea of what he expects to be paid as salary and his other financial expectations.
Last month, Renard was first linked with the Super Eagles, but this was dismissed by officials.
The contract of the Frenchman with his country’s women’s team will be up next month after the Paris 2024 Olympics.
He has said he wishes to take up a new challenge.
