Representatives of French coach Herve Reinard say he has turned down the chance to coach the senior national team of Nigeria as the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) continue the search for a replacement for underfire coach Gernot Rohr.
The coach who is presently the head coach of Saudi Arabia is very settled in his new environment but he will jump at the chance to have a third spell with Zambia after leading them to the AFCON title in 2012 during his second spell.
Reinard also led the Ivorian team to the 2015 AFCON title, same thing he was tip to do with Morocco at the last AFCON but they failed to take advantage of their position as host.
Nigeria were told in clear terms that the 55 year old isn’t interested in the Super Eagles job despite the talented nature of the squad and the lure of qualifying for the World Cup 2022. Where Nigeria are through to the final round of the series.
