Former Sweden head coach Janne Andersson has explained why he turned down the opportunity to manage Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
Andersson was among the coaches linked to the vacant position during the summer and was reportedly the top candidate at that time. However, he declined offers from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) due to concerns over the terms of the contract.
“Nigeria was very persistent and wanted me to take the job. There were many appealing aspects, but the overall situation wasn’t perfect. It didn’t feel 100 percent right, and it has to feel that way for me to fully commit,” he told the Swedish newspaper Hallandsposten.

The 62-year-old also mentioned that he is being cautious about his next career move.
“It would take a lot for me to take on a new coaching job. I am selective and have other commitments, such as mentorship and board roles,” he added.
