“I confess that I want to challenge myself again even if I have already said no to more than one offer.
“Let’s see if a call from a national team arrives. Not the Italian one: I have the utmost faith in (Luciano) Spalletti.”
Ranieri also said, “Cagliari is everything to me, my place in the world. When I first arrived I was a young coach without certainties and they were three wonderful years, from Serie C to Serie A with relative safety.”

Please nff should go for him
The only problem I have with a Ranieri appointment is his age.
Otherwise, the 73 year old gaffer ticks the required boxes.
Some other younger coaches on my personal wish list are as follows:
Nuno Espirito Santo
Unai Emery
Roberto De Zerbi
And others like these. But these are my top three.
They may not be “super stars” like Pep, Klopp, Ancelotti, etc. But they are proven, competent, capable tacticians who can propel Nigerian football to greater heights.
Additionally, they are more affordable compared to the super star coaches.
