Italy legend, Fabio Cannavaro, has revealed he rejected offer to manage the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced in June it will appoint an expatriate to manage the Super Eagles following the team’s poor run in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Cannavaro confirmed he was approached by the NFF to tinker the Super Eagles.
The former Juventus and Real Madrid defender however said he is only interested in working in Europe for now.
“I had offers from Nigeria [national team] and Iranian clubs, but I want to wait for Serie A and European clubs until December. After that, I may start travelling again,” La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Augustine Eguavoen will take charge of the Super Eagles in the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
