Janne Andersson in talks with NFF to coach Super Eagles

Janne Andersson has confirmed that he engaged in discussions with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) regarding the vacant Super Eagles coaching position.

The NFF continues its search for a new head coach for the Super Eagles, over two months after the departure of former international winger, Finidi George.

Andersson, who previously managed the Sweden national team, is reportedly set to take charge of the three-time African champions.

The seasoned coach has expressed a strong interest in leading the Super Eagles.

“It’s a huge footballing nation. I can confirm that I have had a dialogue with the Nigeria Football Federation,” he told Swedish newspaper, Expressen.

“It’s a huge footballing nation so I’m extremely flattered to be in the running to be their next national team coach.

“Dialogue is ongoing and I don’t really want to say more than that. I have been in this industry for so long and know that things can happen in different ways. So we’ll see what happens in the future.”
