Swedish coach Janne Andersson is set to be named the new head coach of the Super Eagles, according to SCORENigeria. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is expected to make the announcement this week.
Andersson, 61, will take over the role two months after Finidi George resigned. This will be his first coaching role in Africa.
From 2016 to 2023, Andersson managed the Swedish national team, leading them to their first FIFA World Cup in 12 years in 2018. He achieved this by defeating the Netherlands and Italy in the qualifiers.
Under his leadership, Sweden had its best World Cup performance since 1994, topping Group F ahead of South Korea, Mexico, and then reigning champions Germany. They were eventually knocked out in the quarter-finals by England.
Next month, the Super Eagles are set to play against Benin Republic and Rwanda in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
