Former Juventus and Ajax Amsterdam midfielder Sunday Oliseh is nailed on favourite to emerge as the new Super Eagles coach, the Nigeria Football Federation has suggested.

Of course, the Executive Board has to give approval for his appointment based on the final terms to be agreed,” said Felix Anyansi-Agwu, chairman of the NFF Technical and Development Committee.
Sunday Oliseh will come with a foreign Technical Assistant while interim coaches Salisu Yusuf will be among his backroom staff.
The 40 - year - old made 63 appearances for Nigeria and the highlight of his career with the national team was winning the 1994 African Cup of Nations.
