A top member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) says the technical committee of the football house has recommended the hiring of former coach of Mali Eric Chelle as the new coach of the new coach of the senior national team of Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Super Eagles have been without a substantive coach since the exit of Finidi George as coach of the team following the he disappointment of the last round of games in the world cup qualifiers.

Three candidates in Steve McClaren, Eric Chelle and Tom Saintfeit were interviewed by the technical committee of the NFF, but McClaren ruled himself out of the race by picking up the vacant job of the senior national team of Jamaica two days ago.

Former coach of Mali Chelle was picked ahead of Saintfeit, who is currently at the helm as coach of Philippines. However that choice is said not to be definitive as the president of the NFF Ibrahim Musa Gusau still has to approve it.

Gusau per what we exclusively gathered has another coach in mind and will gladly overrule the committee like he did when Finidi was appointed as coach, ahead of the coaches recommended by the technical arm of the football body.

A top board member said the decision lies in the hands of the president because he has the powers to approve or decline any request by the various arms of the football house. He said from all indications the coach has another candidate in mind.

He said the Identity of that option isn’t known but talks on his possible engagement is ongoing and it is why the president said a new coach will be known soon.

France based coach Nassim Mendil says the coach of PSG Luis Enrique doesn’t want the club to sign Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen from Napoli despite reports of talks between both clubs, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.

Osimhen is said to prefer a move to PSG over the loan proposal from Chelsea that went viral yesterday. Some reports say personal terms have been agreed but both clubs are yet to settle for a transfer fee, with the French side refusing to pay his release clause of €120m.

The impasse has led to a breakdown in the talks and it has left Osimhen hanging as he desperately waits for his future to be resolved. Already coach of Napoli have kept him out of his team’s pre season tactical drills and test games.

Speaking in an interview to Radio Goal via Kiss Kiss Napoli Nassim said the reluctance of the coach is why PSG have gone cold on the deal as the coach has a lost which Osimhen isn’t his preferred choice for the role of top striker.

He said the situation has led to a standoff between the coach and the hierarchy of the club, who are long time admirers of the 25 year old, and see him as a perfect replacement for Kylian Mbappe.

“I am in France and here they are talking about a negotiation between Napoli and PSG for Osimhen, but the figures would not exceed 80 million”, he said.

”Here they say that Luis Enrique does not want Osimhen, he has power in the market and in my opinion it will be difficult for the Nigerian to go to Paris. Luis Enrique has a say in the matter and after Mbappè’s departure they gave him some power over the purchase of players and Osimhen is not his first choice”.
