Former French international, Olympique Lyon and Cameroon coach, Paul Le Guen, will be in charge of the Super Eagles when the final round of the qualifiers for the Russia 2018 World Cup start in October, Completesportsnigeria.com understands.

Le Guen who was sacked as Oman’s head coach after his side lost 2-1 to Turkmenistan on Nov. 17 last year, has agreed a three-year deal to coach the Super Eagles and has also requested to reside in Lagos as against the proposed Abuja, a Nigeria Football Federation source has informed Completesportsnigeria.com.

Completesportsnigeria.com can also reveal that a top sponsor of the Nigerian Football Federation, a bank, has already agreed to bankroll the salaries of the Frenchman, and he could pick former skipper of the Super Eagles, Austin Jay- Jay Okocha, to be his first assistant on the job.

Le Guen who once coached Scottish side Rangers and PSG, Completesportsnigeria.com gathered, will earn about $50,000 a month which is more than double what Sunday Oliseh earned as Nigeria coach.
