Former West Ham United coach Harry Redknapp is reportedly being considered as the next coach of the Super Eagles who could replace current handler Gernot Rohr.
Rohr has been handling the Super Eagles since August 2016 and the German football manager has taken Nigeria to two major competitions.
He took Nigeria to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia where the Super Eagles failed to reach the knock out stages no thanks to their defeat against Argentina.
Super Eagles under Gernot Rohr campaigned at the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt where they finished as third best after beating Tunisia in the third place match.
The contract of Gernot Rohr is coming to an end with the Super Eagles and there have been speculation that he could leave the three-time African champions.
This has made Harry Redknapp being linked with taking over from Gernot Rohr.
"The feeling is Harry Redknapp will be coming to manage Nigeria soon.'' a source told Star according to the report on Mirror UK.
Four years ago, Harry Redknapp was linked with the Super Eagles in which nothing was later agreed on.
The 73-year-old has never handled any national team before in his career and coaching Nigeria could tempt the Englishman to return to management.
