Outgoing Catalonia coach Johan Cruyff is impressed with the performance of the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Wednesday's high profile exhibition match.

Cruyff, one of the well known exponents of total football, has hinted that the match against Nigeria might be his last game as a coach.
''"I do not think I will coach again. I do not see myself on another bench. Although I always do too many things and I am not going to be bored.
"I was very happy to do it. The players always wanted to be here. I am proud to have coached Catalonia,'' he said.
