LONDON. — Seasoned English football coach Harry Redknapp is being considered as the next manager of Nigeria. Current Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr sees his contract expire at the end of the month and there is serious doubt over the German’s future. It has led the Nigerian hierarchy to review their options meaning Redknapp could be set for a return to management. A Super Eagles source told the Star: “The feeling is Harry Redknapp will be coming to manage Nigeria soon.’’

Friendlies are also held in London on a regular basis given the amount of Nigerians playing in the English Premier League which could prove advantageous in discussions. Redknapp has never tried his hand at international management despite being heavily linked with the England job back in 2012. — The Mirror.
