Eric Chelle is expected in Nigeria on Sunday to begin his reign as head coach of the Super Eagles.
The newly appointed gaffer will come in with three assistants.
Chelle trusted assistants were with him when he tinkered the Eagles of Mali.
The 47-year-old also worked with the trio recently at Algerian club, MC Oran.
The former Mali international has been handed the onerous task of ensuring the Super Eagles qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup which will be co-hosted by Canada, Mexico and USA.
The Super Eagles are winless in Group C after four games.
The West Africans will be away to the Amavubi of Rwanda when the qualifiers resume in March.
