The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has denied it is in talks with French man Herve Renard over the vacant Super Eagles coaching job.
Renard has been linked with the Super Eagles top job with reports that the NFF has contacted him to tinker the team.
“This report is inaccurate. We’ve not contacted Renard or his representatives ” a top official of the NFF told BBC Africa.
Renard is expected to quit his role as head coach of the French women national team at the end of the 2024 Olympic Games.
The 55-year-old is eager to return to Africa, where he has achieved great success.
Renard led Zambia to win the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations and also repeated the same feat with Cote d’Ivoire in 2015.
The NFF is looking for a new coach for the Super Eagles following Finidi George’s resignation from the post.
A new coach is expected to be in place before the Super Eagles begin the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in September. READ ALSO:
