Nigeria fires soccer coach before World Cup
February 6, 2010
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) -Nigeria has fired Shaibu Amodu following a disappointing African Cup of Nations, leaving the team without a head coach just months before the World Cup.
The Nigerian Football Federation said Saturday its short list of replacements includes Ratomir Dujkovic, Guus Hiddink, Bruno Metsu, Hassan Shehata, Peter Taylor and Louis van Gaal.
The candidates will be interviewed by the end of the month.
The Super Eagles lost to Ghana in the semifinals of the African Cup, then beat Algeria in the third-place match. Nigeria is in a World Cup group with Argentina, Greece and South Korea.
