French tactician Hervé Renard has revealed that he nearly became the head coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
Renard, who previously managed Ivory Coast and Zambia, disclosed that he was approached by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) following the unexpected departure of Finidi George in May.

His name was widely mentioned as a potential replacement, especially after talks with German coach Bruno Labbadia collapsed, leaving the Super Eagles without a coach.
Renard admitted that the offer from the NFF was the most lucrative he had received, but after careful consideration, he ultimately chose 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.
