Why I rejected Super Eagles job – French coach, Hervé Renard reveals

French coach, Hervé Renard, has revealed why he rejected an offer to become the head coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

Renard, who has enjoyed stints at Ivory Coast and Zambia, disclosed that he was approached by the Nigeria Football Federation after the exit of Finidi George in May.

According to Renard, the NFF’s offer was the most lucrative he had received, but after much deliberation, he decided to decline.

“I almost went to Nigeria. I weighed the pros and cons for a few days, even weeks, before eventually turning it down. It was the best offer I’ve had so far, but it didn’t suit me in the end,” Renard told French outlet L’Équipe, as reported by Brila FM.

Augustine Eguavoen, who was first made interim coach last month, has since been appointed as the Head Coach of the Super Eagles.
