Former Olympique Lyonnais manager, Paul Le Guen is reportedly favourite to take over

as coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria

Former Super Eagles assistant coach, Jean Francois Losciuto has recommended French coach Paul Le Guen for the national team.

Since the resignation of former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)are searching for a foreign replacement.

Le Guen who is known for leading Olympique Lyonnais to three consecutive Ligue 1 titles is now favourite to become Super Eagles after he was linked with the job.

The NFF have reportedly agreed a contract with the erstwhile Oman national team boss and Loscuito thinks the 52-year-old is a good choice.

"I know Paul Le Guen very well. He was a great player and he has vital experience in coaching as well," Loscuito toldComplete Sports.

"If Nigeria go for him, it will not be a bad choice. Coaching or the style of football coaches adopt is not the problem of Nigerian football."
