Barring any change in plans, former Sweden coach Janne Andersson will soon be appointed the new coach of the Super Eagles.
This will be more than two months since Finidi George quit the post, reports SCORENigeria.
Top officials boasted that the new foreign coach will excite the fans, but it is now left to be seen if this will be the case with this coach.
He failed to qualify his country to the 2022 World Cup and was then fired in November 2023 after he failed to qualify them to the 2024 Euros.

His appointment is the more controversial in the sense that he does not have a vast knowledge of African football, which was one of the key requirements demanded of interested coaches who applied for the Super Eagles top post.
Again, with such scant knowledge of African football and having never worked in Africa, Janne Andersson’s immediate task is to qualify the country to the 2025 AFCON.
His first two official matches will be three weeks from now, first against Benin in Uyo on September 7 and then three days later against Rwanda in Kigali.
