Abuja — Top officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have warned that some fraudsters are trying to extort money from unsuspecting coaches and agents on the pretext they can get them the job of coaching Nigeria at next year's World Cup.

There have been speculation surrounding the future of Nigeria coach, Shuaibu Amodu, following a clamour that he be replaced by a foreign coach despite qualifying the Super Eagles to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

However, chairman of the technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Taiwo Ogunjobi, has declared that the football association is yet to declare the coaching job vacant.

"I want to first and foremost say that we have not advertised for this job," Ogunjobi told goal.com.

"It is therefore important that I tell people that they have to beware because some dubious people may now capitalise on these speculations to extort money from them on the understanding that they will get them the job.
