The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is reportedly favoring Portuguese coach António Conceição da Silva Oliveira for the position of Super Eagles Technical Adviser.
This move comes as the NFF seeks to enhance the team’s technical staff with a foreign coach.
Conceição, who guided Cameroon to a third-place finish at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), is a strong contender for the role.
The NFF’s search for new gaffer follows disappointing results under current coach Finidi George, particularly against South Africa and the Benin Republic.
The executive committee of the NFF met with Finidi on Friday to discuss their dissatisfaction with the recent performance and inform him of their intention to bring in a foreign-trained manager.
