The Nigerian Football Federation says it has added Ireland manager
Giovanni Trapattoni to the list of candidates to take over as
national team coach.
The federation has issued a statement announcing the
decisions it made during a meeting of its executive committee, with
Trapattoni joining a shortlist of potential replacements that
includes Ratomir Dujkovic, Guus Hiddink, Bruno Metsu, Hassan
Shehata, Peter Taylor and Louis van Gaal.
Nigeria, which will compete at the World Cup finals this
summer, fired Shaibu Amodu at the weekend after he led the team to
a third-place finish at the African Cup of Nations.
The federation says it hopes to hire a new coach by the end
of February.
