Foreign coaches circle around Oliseh's job

Like vultures, several foreign coaches like Claude Le Roy and Herve Renard, who have excelled in Africa, are now queuing up to lead Nigeria as speculations continue to mount over the future of coach Sunday Oliseh.“Foreign coaches have indicated strong interest to handle Nigeria and even some of them have appointed Nigerian representatives to get them the job,” a top source disclosed.
Oliseh has blamed lack of financial support to the Super Eagles for the below-par showing of the country at CHAN 2016 in Rwanda, while making all efforts to distance himself from the failure.
Top officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have come out to dismiss speculations around the future of Oliseh, but the results of an AFCON 2017 double header against Egypt in March could well spark off another round of speculations.
Renard, who led Cote d’Ivoire to win the AFCON last year, has long been linked with coaching Nigeria since AFCON 2010 in Angola.
He is presently without a job after he was sacked by French Ligue 1 club Lille.
Le Roy only recently quit as Congo coach. He has also worked in DR Congo, Cameroon and Senegal.
He has also variously been linked with the Nigeria post over the years.

Oliseh has so far not shown enough responsibility in my opinion. I believe Nigeria should take advantage of leroy at this time!!! We can't afford another AFCON miss..... It's now or it gets too late
Pls Renard should not even be considered as he is only a shirt term solution. He'd definitely be back to France after 2017 February, when maybe, Nice or Rennes may come knocking... But Oliseh should be supported. Nigerians are to hasty to fire coaches
