#Football News: Harry Redknapp Set to be Named New Super Eagles Coach

The Nigeria Football Federation appointed Salisu Yusuf as interim manager this week to take charge of two upcoming friendlies against Mali in Paris on May 27 and Luxembourg on June 1.
 
 
The UK Daily Star has exclusively reported that 69-year-old former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Harry Redknapp could be the new head coach of the Super Eagles in a shocking appointment.
 
But Redknapp, who was once tipped to become England coach, has been reportedly approached to take over the Super Eagles full time.
 
Daily Star claims that a source close to the team revealed Redknapp could be named as the next permanent Nigeria manager within a few days. He is largely untested at international level after narrowly missing out on the England job to Roy Hodgson.
 
Last month Redknapp, finished a two-game deal managing Jordan – reportedly a favour for the country's FA president, Prince Ali bin al-Hussein. Now Redknapp is free to prepare for Nigeria’s opening African Cup of Nations qualifier in September.
 
He has worked with ex-Nigerian internationals in the past, notably with Kanu Nwankwo and Peter Utaka at Portsmouth. They went on to win FA Cup with Kanu grabbing the winner.

    A young boy has been stabbed to death during a friendly street football match in Okota, Lagos after the match turned violent.   One of the players stabbed an opponent to death at the weekend when the misunderstanding started.   According to Vanguard, some youths from Oseni Liade Street were playing football at the end of the street, when a group of boys from neighbouring Taiwo Street came to join them.
