The NFF have lined up former Serbia coach Mladen Krstajic to replace Gernot Rohr as Super Eagles coach.
Representatives of the 47-year-old Krstajic, who guided Serbia to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, will this week meet with top NFF officials in London.
He was without a job since 2019, when he left his role as Serbia coach.
His preferred formation is the 4-2-3-1, which Rohr to qualify Nigeria to both the 2019 AFCON and 2018 World Cup.
The emergence of the Serbian coach as front runner for the Eagles top post comes as several other names have also been mentioned.
Former Chile and Saudi Arabia coach Juan Antonio Pizzi is one of such contenders.
This comes as a settlement with Rohr has been reached and he will be paid off in instalments.
His payoff is put at around $600,000.
Please let the coach leaves. We don’t need him. He is a disaster to Nigeria’s football
We hope NFF (Nigerians) will learn a good lesson from this Rohr contract clause difficulty. In future, no matter how they want to build their interest into a deal, they should be clever enough to be at the top of the game.
Also, NFF should jettison this crave for estacode and cause applicants to come down to Nigeria, apply for the job, be interviewed in Nigeria and appointed in Nigeria. In that, the coach will know that his primary place of assignment is Nigeria. I so doubt if other national team coaches stay outside the country they coach, therefore, any coach for Nigeria now should be able to build team B made up of mostly home based players and team A made up of international players. The team B should serve as feeder team to team A. The team B should be strong enough to be playing and winning qualifier matches to save cost of flying down professionals.
A corrupt NFF with a mediocre coach willing to play ball. Everything about the country is rooted in a cancer called corruption.
