Currently, Salisu Yusuf is the interim coach of the Nigerian national team and will take charge of the two upcoming friendly matches against Mali and Luxembourg.
Yusuf stepped in after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), decided not to continue with Samson Siasia, who was given the job on a temporary basis following Sunday Oliseh’s shock resignation in February this year.
Daily Star claims that Redknapp, who was once tipped to become England coach, will now take the job on a permanent basis.
69-year-old Redknapp recently ended a two-match deal with Jordan’s national team.
