NFF denies Redknapp link to Super Eagles Job
President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Melvin Pinnick has described the story trending in the international media that Harry Redknapp is set to manage Nigeria’s senior team, the Super Eagles as being totally untrue.
In a text message sent to Pinnick by NationSport yesterday next seeking to to know thr true position of Redknapp’s deal with Nigeria, especially with counter claims by an Austrilian team that he is their manager, Pinnick replied thus: “Totally untrue.”
Curiously, many international media platforms reported different versions of Redknapp in connection wiht the Nigeria job, with a few others playing out the Austrilian club option.
Writing on their Twitter account during the club’s end-of-season dinner, the Mariners said: “Owner Mike Charlesworth announces that Harry Redknapp will join the Mariners as a consultant.”
The ex-Portsmouth boss recently had a two-game spell in charge of Jordan, overseeing an 8-0 win over Bangladesh and a 5-1 loss to Australia in Sydney.
Redknapp, 69, has accrued nearly 1,500 games of experience as a manager and is also acting as an adviser to Premier League hopefuls Derby County.
The Mariners were A-League winners in 2008 and 2012 but are rock bottom this season and 12 points behind the team above them.
