German
Christoph Daum claims he has been approached by the Nigeria Football Federation
to replace Stephen Keshi as the Super Eagles coach, supersport reports.
The
former Bayer Leverkusen manager was reported to have told German website
mobo.de that he rejected the offer last week.
The
NFF has yet to renew Keshi’s contract when it expired after the
Brazil 2014 World Cup in June and he is currently on a ‘game per game’
contract.
Daum,
60, who has previously managed German sides FC Cologne, VfL Stuttgart and
Eintracht Frankfurt, as well as Turkish outfit, Bursaspor, and is currently out
of work.
Keshi
guided the Eagles in their two 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against
Congo and South Africa. Nigeria lost 3-2 to Congo in Calabar on September 6 and
battled to a goalless draw against South Africa in Cape Town four days later.
“I
had offers last week to become coach of Nigeria,” mobo.de quoted Daum as
saying.
The
former Fenerbahce coach said he is not open to any coaching job until next
season.
“By
next year, I’ll take over a team,” Daum said.
