The Nigeria Football Federation have appointed Jose Mourinho as Super Eagles manager after interim head coach Finidi George wasn't found worthy by the NFF executive.
The Portuguese manager has just touched down the Lagos international airport for contract signing and will resume office in ernest.
Mourinho signed a four-year contract to take charge of the Super Eagles, while Finidi George, Emmanuel Amuneke and Peter Rufai join him as his backroom staff.
"I have the pleasure to confirm I have committed to a legendary African side, with the massive challenge of qualifying for the Mundial," Mourinho told MTP.
"I am lucky because for years I had the fortune to coach big teams like Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, and now I have the opportunity to coach another big team like Nigeria. It is an honour and I want to keep winning.
"We have a duty to prove we are the best team in Africa and also do well at the World Cup.
“I’d like to thank the Nigeria Football Federation for believing in me and with their backing, I am confident that we can build a stronger Super Eagles,” he concluded.
Mourinho will be presented at a media conference on Friday in Abuja.
