Former Chelsea assistant coach Jose Morais has been offered the Nigeria job.

O Jogo says the Nigerian FA has offered a deal to Morais to take charge for next month's African Cup of Nations campaign.

NFA president Amaju Pinnick said, "We spoke with José Peseiro, José Morais and Mladen Krstajic, who has since signed for Maccabi Tel Aviv."

Morais worked at Chelsea, while he was also assistant to Jose Mourinho with Real Madrid.

This year, he led Al Hilal to the Saudi Arabian championship. Fellow Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro is also on the NFA's radar. Peseiro is available after resigning as Venezuela coach.
