Former Sweden head coach, Janne Andersson is reportedly set to be named head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Andersson’s appointment is coming more than two months after George Finidi quit the post.
It’s the first time the 61-year-old will be working in Africa.
Andersson was in charge of the Swedish national team for seven years, between 2016 to 2023.
The tactician quit the post following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2024 European Championship.
He actually had a successful start to his time in charge of Sweden.
Andersson qualified Sweden for its first FIFA World Cup in 12 years (2018) by eliminating Netherlands and Italy in the qualifiers.
Sweden experienced its most successful World Cup campaign since 1994 under its tutelage winning Group F ahead of South Korea, Mexico and then reigning champions Germany.
They were eliminated in the quarter-final by England.
The Super Eagles are scheduled to face Benin Republic and Rwanda in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers next month.
