The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has denied that it has made contact with Herve Renard for the vacant Super Eagles coaching position.

According to reports on Monday, the NFF has begun talks with the Frenchman about taking over the Super Eagles. A top official at the football club has now disputed the claim.

“This report is inaccurate. We’ve not contacted Renard or his representatives ” the official told BBC Africa.

Renard is set to leave his position as head coach of the French women’s national team at the end of the 2024 Olympic Games.

The 55-year-old is eager to return to Africa, where he has achieved great success.

Renard led Zambia to win the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations and repeated the feat with Cote d’Ivoire in 2015.

The NFF is looking for a new coach for the Super Eagles following Finidi George’s resignation.
