Former Paris Saint-Germain coach Paul Le Guen is one of three candidates shortlisted for the position of Nigeria coach.
Le Guen, who is rumoured to be favoured for the job, is joined by current interim coach Salisu Yusuf and former Ethiopia coach Tom Saintfiet as a candidate.
The trio were selected from a list of 20 coaches who indicated interest to take up the position.
"The Committee will meet on Monday, 18th July to interview the shortlisted candidates and immediately name the next Super Eagles' Head Coach," said NFF official Christopher Green, who heads the Technical Committee charged with making the appointment.
Le Guen, 52, played for Brest, Nantes and Paris Saint-Germain and won 17 caps for France, before coaching Rennes, Lyon, PSG (all in France) and Glasgow Rangers (Scotland). He qualified the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon for the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals and also coached Oman.
Belgian Saintfiet, 43, coached the national teams of Namibia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, Yemen, Malawi and Togo, and also worked with the Qatar U-17 side, Young Africans FC of Tanzania and Free State Stars FC in South Africa.
Yusuf, 54, was capped by Nigeria at U-20 level, won FA Cup titles with El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri as a player and coached top clubs Kano Pillars, El-Kanemi Warriors and Enyimba FC. He assisted Super Eagles' chiefs Samson Siasia and the late Stephen Keshi and was caretaker coach for two friendlies that the Eagles won against Mali and Luxembourg in Europe at the end of May.
Nigeria have been without a substantive coach since Sunday Oliseh resigned from the job in February.
