Jonathan Hill, former Manchester United youth coach, is interested in the Super Eagles coaching job.

Former international, Augustine Eguavoen recently guided the Super Eagles to 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is still interested in selecting an expatriate to help the team.

Hill just quit his position as assistant coach at Rotherham United.

The gaffer has already submitted an application to the NFF.

“This is a role I very much fancy because of its demanding nature and the push to deliver top results,” Hill told SportsBoom.

“I’ve always known Nigerian players to be athletic, technical, and full of energy.

“There’s a great talent pool here, and I believe in nurturing young players who fit the team’s philosophy.”
