Former Real Madrid assistant manager Alejandro Menéndez Garcia has joined the list of coaches pushing to replace Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr who has been told his services isn’t required anymore.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) verbally told the coach that his tenure is up but officially they haven’t communicated to him as they don’t have the funds they need to unilaterally terminate his contract as coach of the team.
Rohr’s uncertain future has opened the door for Garcia to indicate his interest in the job banking on his spell as an assistant to Jose Mourinho while he was at Real Madrid. The 55 year old also had spells at other teams in Spain.
Garcia we exclusively gathered have already submitted his CV to the NFF with his representative confident that he stand a chance as he has what it takes to make the Super Eagles play the kind of football Nigerians are craving for.
His last major job was as a part of the coaching set up at Spanish second division side Albacete at the start of the year.
