Nigeria want to talk to Robson about coaching the Super Eagles

Nigerian officials are believed to have held talks with former England captain Bryan Robson on Tuesday over the Super Eagles coaching job.

Nigerian Football Association (NFA) secretary-general Taiwo Ogunjobi and technical director Fanny Amun arrived in London on Monday for the meeting with the former England captain.

BBC Sport website spoke to Robson on Wedenesday but he refused to confirm or deny whether a meeting had taken place.

"I am not making any comment on my coaching plans at the moment," he said.

French coaches Bruno Metsu and Alain Giresse have also been linked with the Nigeria job.

On Tuesday, a tight-lipped Ogunjobi refused to discuss the agenda of their planned meeting with Robson.

"I am in England on official business on behalf of the Association but I would not want to go into the specifics of our plans," Ogunjobi told the BBC Sport website.

Robson has been out of work since he lost his job as manager of Premiership side Middlesbrough in June 2001 and has been keen to find a new challenge.

Robson approached the NFA back in August to express his interest in taking over the national team.

He was not among the 51 people who originally applied for the job, from which the NFA technical committee short-listed six candidates for interview.

The delay in appointing a new manager for the national team has affected Nigeria's plans for the Nations Cup finals in Tunisia.
