Harry Redknapp is in line to be the next Nigeria manager, according to report.
The Super Eagles appointed Salisu Yusuf as interim manager last week to take charge of two upcoming friendlies against Mali in Paris on May 27 and Luxembourg on June 1.
But Redknapp, the former Tottenham boss, has been approached to take over the national side full time.
A source close to the team revealed he could be named as the next permanent manager within a few days.
The role is widely seen as the biggest job in African football.
Redknapp is largely untested at international level after narrowly missing out on the England job to Roy Hodgson.
Last month, Redknapp, 69, finished a two-game deal managing Jordan – reportedly a favour for the country’s FA president, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein.
