Giovanni Trapattoni for Nigeria?

Question

Is the Republic of Ireland coach poised for a switch?

Answer 1

After failing to get Ireland to the World Cup under controversial circumstances - in a match against France, Thierry Henry deliberately handled the ball in a move that saw France score -  the 70-year-old Italian has apparently said he would be interested in the opportunity to live and work in Nigeria. He's on a shortlist of six coaches being mooted for the Nigeria coaching position, although he is currently still the Ireland coach for now.
