The vacant Super Eagles could be on the cards for former Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

 Mosimane who is still unattached, according to The South Africa (newspaper), has indicated that he would love to coach an international team when asked about rumours linking him to the Nigeria football team. The 60-year-old coach was linked with a move to Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs but instead, the job went to Nasreddine Nabi. “The World Cup I’ve done with a country was once,” Mosimane told SABC Sport this week. “So maybe with the national team, I must say that interests me more [than with a club]. And also national team, doesn’t mean [just] anyone. A National team that you think you can go to the semi-final. Pitso Mosimane linked to Nigeria once again “And when you go to the semi-final, go to the final and when you’re in the final, you might as well win it,” said the former Al Ahly coach. “Unless it’s a club again where we need to play more in space. Saudi will always be there also, Qatar will always be there. We had calls with even West African countries, two! And ones I said, ‘yeah, these are the ones’. But things are done differently in those spaces,” he continued. Nigeria football legend Jay Jay Okocha backed Pitso Mosimane for the Nigeria job earlier this year. Jingles said the interest was there but nothing concrete was put on the table by the NFF. “You asked yourself what happened, there’s a space, the call comes back… It’s not easy to [understand], when there is space for the ministry and also space for the football federation. “There are always clashes somewhere there, the ministry because they pay for the coach, they want this coach, the football federation want that coach. Hopefully, we’ll get one that goes together,” Mosimane said. Nigeria are currently looking for a permanent coach and perhaps Pitso Mosimane might be their man. the Super Eagles have struggled for positive results since losing the final of the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.
