The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick confirmed that NFF has spoken to top coaches for the search for a new Super Eagles boss.
Pinnick made this known to newsmen in Lagos on Wednesday, that NFF has spoken to AS Roma boss, Jose Mourinho and other top coaches in replacement of Gernot Rohr.
In his confirmation, Pinnick said, “We have spoken to three top coaches. Peseiro, whose name has been going around, is one of them and I can tell you he is a top coach.
“We also talked to Mladen (Krstajic). But after talking to him, he got a job with a top club in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv. They are coaches who the players cannot be bigger than. I believe we are doing everything we can and that’s why we interface with the ministry on every level.
He said, “Of course Mourinho, I am not going to tell you we didn’t talk to Mourinho because we did and the (sports) minister also talked to Mourinho and there is nothing wrong with it.”
