The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has now confirmed it is in talks with former Super Eagles’ Captain Sunday Oliseh over vacant Super Eagles coaching job.

Oliseh is expected to come with a foreign technical assistant, whose job description will centre around development programmes, and will work with clubs’ youth teams towards developing the game from the grassroots.

He is also expected to come up with a 5–year developmental plan for all the national teams.

Current stand-in coach, Salisu Yusuf will, however, be in the new team but with greater devotion to the home-based Eagles.

Oliseh won 63 caps for Nigeria between 1993 and 2002, picking up Africa Cup of Nations gold, silver and bronze medals.

The executive board has to give approval for his appointment based on the final terms to be agreed.

He will be unveiled in the coming week.
