Former Sweden national team coach Janne Andersson has expressed a strong interest in leading Nigeria’s senior men’s football team, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 61-year-old, who successfully guided the Swedish squad to the quarterfinals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, has cited his admiration for the Super Eagles’ talent and their potential to excel on the global stage.
As a former forward with a wealth of coaching experience, Andersson sees the Super Eagles as a team brimming with promise. He is eager to leverage his experience and vision to help them achieve new heights in international football.
“It’s a huge footballing nation. I can confirm that I have had a dialogue with the Nigeria Football Federation,” Andersson told the Swedish newspaper Expressen, as quoted by Naija Football.
He added, “It’s a huge footballing nation, so I’m extremely flattered to be in the running to be their next national team coach. Dialogue is ongoing, and I don’t really want to say more than that. I have been in this industry for so long and know that things can happen in different ways. So we’ll see what happens in the future.”
Despite Andersson’s interest, the Nigeria Football Federation has yet to make an official statement on who will lead the Super Eagles as they prepare for crucial matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda in September.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that a new coach will be announced soon, with Augustine Eguavoen being heavily linked to temporarily lead the team in their upcoming clashes.

ANDERSON SHOULD CONSULT HIS FOLLOW COUNTRY MEN, LAR LAGER BACK BEFORE PUTTING PEN ON PAPER SO THAT HE WILL NOT END UP BEING BRAINWASHED BY TELLING HIM TO OPEN TWO ACCOUNT NUMBER( to create room for looting by management) JUST LIKE IT WAS BEING TOLD BY STEVE GORA ERIKSSON ‘S BOOK (during the time he applied for super eagle job in 2010).
*** And this is the major reason why NFF always go for those that doesn’t know anything about African football, so that they will be easily be BRAINWASHED by management.
