The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has confirmed that it is in talks with former Super Eagles’ captain, Sunday Oliseh, with regards to the vacant position of the team’s head coach.
It would be recalled that the NFF at the weekend terminated the appointment of another former captain, Stephen Keshi, over allegations that he breached the terms of his contract.
Nigeria is currently campaigning at the qualifiers for the 2016 Cup of Nations which will take place in Gabon. They won the tournament in 2013.
