Popular South African tactician, Pitso Mosimane has addressed rumours that he turned down the chance to coach the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Mosimane, a former head coach of the South African national team, Bafana Bafana was reported to be one of the top candidates to lead the Super Eagles after Portuguese Jose Peseiro left the post at the expiration of his contract in February.
There were reports that the former Al Ahly gaffer rejected overtures from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Mosimane has however said he was not approached by the NFF.
“I have to be honest I never said no to the Super Eagles and nobody can easily say no to the Super Eagles. That situation was not there,” he was quoted by iol.
“It has to be on the table, sometimes when it’s not on the table you need not get excited and get the proper contact right and everything must be done right.
“But who would turn down the chance to coach the Super Eagles? It would have been a good one for me to be honest because I really wanted to do national team.”
Former international Augustine Eguavoen is currently in charge of the Super Eagles.
