The former France international was shortlisted along side Belgian strategist Tom Saintfiet and caretaker coach of the Super Eagles Salisu Yusuf, but was odds on favourite to land the job having been the preferred candidate of NFF boss Amaju Pinnick.
Le Guen , who has the prompt assignment of exploring the Eagles through an intense 2018 World Cup qualifying group that components Algeria, Cameroon and Zambia, will be divulged on July 18 at a service in Abuja.
According to Punch, his appointment has come at a cost to the team, as interim coach Yusuf has turned down the position of assistant, which was the arrangement of the NFF from the beginning.
The former Kano pillars and Enyimba coach, who drove the team to two successive friendly amicable triumphs in May, accepts he's procured enough administrative nous to successfully lead the Super Eagles .
An authority at the Glass House said they are as of now on a pursuit for an assistant to the Frenchman.
"As it is currently the position of the deputy has been tossed open since Yusuf is as yet demanding that he would not act as an right hand to Le Guen. The people who chipped away at their entries picked the Frenchman and with the trust that Yusuf could take in a great deal from him for the prompt future yet he (Yusuf) seems to have some other thoughts so the organization will now need to consider another person out and out to supplant Yusuf."
Le Guen came to unmistakable quality or prominence amid the mid 2000s when he drove French side Olympique Lyon to three sequential Ligue 1 titles also, the Champions League last eight in 2005.
