Heartland move to replace Siasia
Four foreign coaches are in the race to succeed Samson Siasia as coach of Nigerian Premier League side Heartland.
Club officials told BBC Sport on Thursday that they want to act "swiftly" to replace Siasia.
Former Nigeria striker Siasia left the job at the beginning of December to take over as Super Eagles coach.
Siasia had been in charge of the 2009 African Champions League runners-up for just five months.
Heartland spokesman Cajetan Nkwopara said the club has received "several applications from different parts of the world".
He said: "The management is keen to return the club to being a major force and prove there is life after Samson Siasia."
Dutchman Lodewijk de Kruif, Dorian Marin from Romania, German Siegfried Bahner, former Enyimba coach Milorad Urukalo of Serbia have all applied for the job.
Bahner has previously coached Accra Hearts of Oak in Ghana and Nigeria's Shooting Stars of Ibadan.
Urukalo is fondly remembered for his dramatic but brief stint with Enyimba, the club he led to the 2004 African Super Cup.
"Heartland is a big club in Nigeria and these coaches probably understand that fact," said Nkwopara.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Premier League has condemned Heartland's stadium as unsuitable for Premier League matches.
The decision means Heartland will be forced to use nearby Aba stadium, home of their big rivals Enyimba.
Arguably the most successful Nigerian side, Heartland won the league title in 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1993.

Nigeria hit by new year 'bomb'
Nigeria new year revellers hit by Abuja 'bomb'
An explosion at a bar near a barracks in Nigeria's capital has killed a number of people.
Nigeria's military chief said a bomb had been planted to target people celebrating new year's eve in Abuja but he did not say who was responsible.
The explosion happened in a market where soldiers and civilians often gather to eat and drink beer.
A police spokesman said four people had died, while military sources have told the BBC 11 people were killed.
Air Marshal Oluseyi Petirin blamed "devilish people" but did not name any group or give a possible motive.
He also declined to give any casualty figures.
State TV has said 30 people were killed. But police spokesman Jimoh Moshood said four people had been killed - three men and one woman.
Witnesses have told the BBC they saw body parts lying on the ground and injured people being carried away after the blast.
"People ran in different directions. There were scores of bodies - dead and wounded. They used army trucks to pack them away," a market regular called Eric was quoted as telling Reuters news agency.
The area has been sealed off.
Air Marshal Petirin said a bomb had been placed "where people were relaxing and generally being happy because of the New Year which is approaching".
He urged Nigerians to be vigilant following a recent spate of bomb attacks in a country where they had been almost unknown.
"Do not allow anybody to come and leave a bag, or any kind of object, especially when he is not there," he told state TV.
There have been bomb attacks in the capital and other cities in recent weeks:
¤ On Wednesday, two blasts disrupted a political rally in the southern city of Yenagoa, wounding several people
¤ Bomb attacks in the city of Jos, a flash-point between Nigerian Christians and Muslims, left 80 people dead over Christmas - an Islamist group said it was behind these attacks
¤ In October, at least 12 people were killed in explosions in Abuja as the country celebrated 50 years since independence from the UK - this was blamed on oil militants
The market is near the Sani Abacha barracks, named after Nigeria's late military dictator, in Asokoro district, home to the presidential palace and said to be the city's most secure area.
Officially renamed the Mogadishu Cantonment, the barracks is still known to many by its old name.
