New Nigerian soccer coach

The Nigerian Football Association has announced the appointment of a new coach for the national team, Bora Milutinovic.

He'll be the Super Eagles' fourth coach in twenty months, and is expected to lead Nigeria at the World Cup in France next year.

Mr Milutinovic, who's from Yugoslavia, was coach for Mexico until last month.

He also coached Coast Rica in 1990 and the United States in 1994.
