Former internationals – Ike Shorunmu and Thompson Oliha have bared their minds on who should be appointed the next coach of the Super Eagles.
Former internationals Steven Keshi and teammate Samson Siasia have been shortlisted for the job.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday, while Oliha favours Keshi for the job, Shorunmu is undecided on the issue.
Former Eagles goalkeeper Shorunmu admitted that both coaches were the best Nigerian coaches at the moment.
He refused to stick his neck out on who of the pair should be the next Eagles coach.
He added, “I will not want to stick my neck out on this dicey issue because both of them are close to me.
“Ideally, I would have preferred having the two of them working together to tinker our national team, but this combination has its own drawback.
“At the end of the day, our football stands to benefit from this long awaited appointment of the chief coach.”
Oliha said Keshi was his man for the job.
He said, “Without mincing words, I feel the job should be given to Keshi because of his overwhelming experience as a player and coach.”
“Siasia is also a good coach but Keshi is my preferred candidate for the job
“Please leave me out of this debate, I have nothing to say on this matter,‘‘ he said.
Joseph Dosu, goalkeeper of the Atlanta Olympics gold medal winning squad, told NAN either of them was capable of doing the job if given the nod by the NFA.
“I believe that the best candidate should be given the job of the chief coach of the Super Eagles.”
