The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is currently in negotiations with Hervé Renard and Tom Sanfeit for the vacant head coach position of the Super Eagles. The NFF has requested their financial terms as part of the discussions to ensure a suitable agreement can be reached.
Hervé Renard, who recently left his role as the head coach of the French women’s national team, is a two-time Africa Cup of Nations winner, having led Zambia and Ivory Coast to victory. He also has experience managing Morocco during the 2018 World Cup. Renard’s proven track record in African football makes him a strong candidate for the position.Tom Sanfeit, who recently concluded his tenure with the Gambian national team, has been recognized among the top African coaches in 2022 and 2023. His experience and accolades also make him a viable option for the NFF.
The NFF is reportedly considering the financial demands of both coaches, with Renard having previously indicated a desire for a significant salary, which may need to be adjusted for a potential appointment. The federation is keen to finalize the appointment ahead of the Super Eagles’ next competitive engagements.
