The new coach won’t be in charge of the Super Eagles for the Africa Cup of Nations but he will be in Cameroon to observe and work with the team from a distance before taking over for the World Cup qualifiers play off.
Nigeria fired Franco-German coach Gernot Rohr last week and technical director Augustine Eguavoen will take over as temporary manager until a new coach is named.
