Nigeria’s bid to appoint a former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp as Eagles foreign technical adviser seems to have suffered a setback as the former Portsmouth coach has concluded plans to join Australian club Central Coast Mariners as a consultant.

Redknapp recently had a two-game spell in charge of Jordan, overseeing an 8-0 win over Bangladesh and a 5-1 loss to Australia in Sydney. Harry Redknapp The 69-year-old is also acting as an advisor to Derby County, currently fifth in the Championship. Based in New South Wales, Mariners were A-League winners in 2008 and 2012. Redknapp’s decision to opt for the Australian job comes after it emerged late Thursday night that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) was set to name him the long-term Eagles manager. A London tabloid, Daily Star, had reported that Redknapp was in line to grab the Eagles job, overseeing the country’s Russia 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign, after the team failed to qualify for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.

Coach Salisu Yusuf presently acts as interim coach, with the mandate to take charge of two upcoming friendlies against Mali in Paris on May 27 and Luxembourg on June 1. But Daily Stars said Redknapp was approached to take over reins of power, with a source close to the team revealing he could be named as the next permanent manager within a few days. Redknapp is largely untested at international level after narrowly missing out on the England job to Roy Hodgson.

But with the latest twist that he has opted to join Central Coast Mariners, it seems Redknapp has put paid to NFF’s bid to hire him for a role widely regarded as the biggest job in African football.

Nigeria job is too big for him

rednapp baba were

Who appoints English coaches/managers these days? They are all incompetent and tactically inept.

Good thing the move failed. Saves us money.

NFF should go for something else.

Keshi was our best naija coach. Bt nff has a way of doing silly things,
I think we have nice coaches in naija, na to train dem well, send dem on courses, thoze great foreign coaches were not born geniuses nau, they all learnt it one way or the other.

#Agrobalm# oh, d man wise ooo

U no fit manage Honda , u wan go buy Mercedes

Dat rubbish advert u ar making abt MTN promo na pure scam. thief

What do we expect when we can not even solve the problems in the glass house?

naija, I hail thee o

the fear of NFF/NFA is the beginning of wisdom

LOl

Dis rubbish u post here abt MTN promo is a pure scam. thief

If the old man comes to Naija, na Eagles go kill am. The Eagles problem is bigger than the Baba Coach.

A country of about 170million black people.

Refinery? Call oyibo.

Road construction? Call oyibo.

Loans? Call oyibo.

Sports? Call oyibo.

So what good are all the black folks in Nigeria? Waiting for the next oyibo's inventions to splash their money on.
Yeah. And some still like to argue that all races are created equal. Nigeria has failed to prove naysayers wrong.

There are better people for d job, let him go

since nobody wants to coach the super eagles, they should write to me i'll do it!

NFF as a body is filled with incompetent clowns.. so we dont have capable coaches again in Nigeria dat this is d white..sorry i mean right man for d job?



REDknapp kor, BLUEknapp ni.

The super eagles need to be 'refined'. We need a REFINER.
#team_REFINER Nigerian football would be better soon...

Taking the job of super eagles head coach presently is tantamount to sitting on a throne of thorns. The level of decadence in the 'glass house' is bigger than cossy ojiakor's 'assets'

If na you nko?

NFF said they weren't interested in him a long time ago. I think he might have been useful in terms of helping our home based players get transferred. The guy sef na agbero.
