The Nigeria Football Federation has drawn up a lengthy shortlist of possible candidates to replace Finidi George as Nigeria manager – and that list includes Herve Renard and Steve McLaren, Futbalgalore.com.ng understands.
Senior figures at the NFF are big fans of Renard, who is the current Manager of the French women’s national team.
Also on the list of candidates is Eric Chelle, who is available after leaving Mali in June 2024.
Tom Saintfeit, the Philippines boss, is thought to be under consideration too, with the NFF keen to include in its recruitment process managers who understands African football terrain.
The Technical Commitee will lead the decision-making process.
Since Finidi left, it is clear they will undergo a thorough process of due diligence and talk to a number of potential managers, before making the ultimate decision.
