Vogts is a former coach of Germany and Scotland

German coach Berti Vogts will sign a deal to take over the Nigerian national team in London on the eve of the country's friendly against Ghana next month.

Vogts had been due to put pen to paper in Abuja on Monday.

But the team's sponsors want him to wait until a day before their match against the Black Stars in London on 6 February.

"We've had to postpone the contract signing with Berti Vogts at the insistence of our sponsors who prefer the coach signs the contract in London before our friendly," said Nigeria Football Association (NFA) chairman Sani Lulu.

Vogts, former coach of Germany and Scotland, was scheduled to arrive Nigeria on Saturday but will now meet the members of the NFA in London.
