Former England international John Fashanu has again expressed interest in coaching the Nigerian national football team.

The ex-Wimbledon forward who chose to play for the Three Lions ahead of the Super Eagles once said he does not regret his decision at the time.

The ex-striker, who earned two England caps in the 1989 Rous Cup against Chile and Scotland, could have represented Nigeria internationally.

Fashanu, 62, who now lives in Nigeria, later expressed regret for not playing for the African nation and is eager to contribute, stating that he is ready to serve the country. He said, as per Punch:

“I want to be the manager of the Super Eagles. That is one of the hardest jobs in this country, but I am saying I can do it. I can do it with the right people.

"They are the people who understand the game of football.

It’s not about how much can you give us Fash? "It’s about getting players who can play in different countries and getting players with the right mentality and character. Players who want to play for the country.”

Meanwhile, the Nigerian senior national team, Super Eagles, is currently being managed by Eric Chelle.

The tactician was appointed in January, and has been mandated to secure the ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
