Nigeria's national football team has fired coach Shaibu Amodu with
only months to go before the World Cup, after the team's
disappointing showing at the African Cup of Nations.
The Nigerian Football Federation said on its Web site
Saturday that it would immediately begin a search for a new coach.
The federation said its short list includes Guus Hiddink, Ratomir
Dujkovic, Louis van Gaal and Peter Taylor.
Nigeria finished third in last month's African Cup of
Nations, but Amodu was roundly criticized across the country for
the team's lackluster play.
