Nigeria current Amodu Shaibu is under increasing pressure after his side disappointed at the African Cup of Nations in Angola,despite a third -place finish.
The Super Eagles looked disorganised and unmotivated, with fans in Nigeria concerned at a lack of control over a squad filled with superstar egos.
The Nigerian football association feels that Shehata,a tough disciplinarian with a meticulous approachto tactical and physical preparation,would be the perfect man to get the best out of its underachieving team.
Shehata told a TV station(Mordern Sports) “They expressed an interest in hiring me to take charge of thier team during the World Cup.” He also said ” it would be a great honour for me to work at the World Cup,but the Egyptian FA will have the final word whether i can work with Nigeria on a temporary basis.”
Nigeria will face Argentina,South Korea and Greece in group B of the World Cup in South Africa this summer.
