Sahj, Stefanovic Not Considered As NFF Shortlists Sainfiet, Le Guen, Yusuf For Eagles Job

The Nigeria Football Federation has announced the three candidates that made its shortlist for the vacant Super Eagles job.

Nigeria has not had a substantive coach since ex-Super Eagles skipper Sunday Oliseh resigned in February, citing incessant violations of his contract by the Federation.

Former Ethiopia coach Tom Sainfiet, Super Eagles caretaker coach Salisu Yusuf and Frenchman Paul Le Guen are in the running to handle the national team, with the trio making the shortlist.

Giovanni Solinas, Hey Antoine, Mark Wotte, Ernesto Paulo Calvinho, Dorian Marin, Le Guen, Miodrag Jesic, Perry Hansen, Ove Pedersen, Adebayo Lateef Kola, Sylvanus Okpala, Peter Ijeh, Vladimir Petrovic-Pizon, Lodewijk de Kruif, Kenichi Yatsuhashi, Bjorn Frank Peters and Ricki Herbert had applied for the job.

The Technical and Development Committee will interview the three candidates on Monday, July 18 and immediately name the next Super Eagles’ Head Coach.

Slovenian manager Ivo von Sajh-Scheich and Serbian Goran Stefanovic were not considered by the NFF.
