The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), have opened discussions with Sunday Oliseh over becoming the next coach of the Super Eagles.
Stephen Keshi was fired last weekend, after a disciplinary committee ruled that he was guilty of applying for the Ivory Coast job.
Although NFF technical director Shuaibu Amodu and Keshi’s assistant, Salisu Yusuf, were placed in charge temporarily, BBC reports that the federation is in advanced talks with Nigeria’s former captain.
Oliseh, who won 63 caps for the country, was part of the AFCON squads in 1994 and 2000. He featured in the 1996 Olympic team that won gold and played at the 1994 and 1998 World Cups.
He is currently working as a pundit, sport consultant and FIFA Technical Committee member. He previously coached Belgian lower league side Vervietois between 2001 and 2009.
