Stephen Keshi has been appointed coach of the Nigeria national football team for a third time.
The 53-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year deal with the country's Football Federation.
Keshi guided the Super Eagles to Africa Cup of Nations glory in 2013 before leaving his post after the 2014 World Cup.
He returned to coach the side on a match-by-match basis, but that agreement ended in November when the Nigerians failed to qualify for the 2017 AFCON.
"It's a fresh start. We need the support of our fans, media and every Nigerian to return the team to where we truly belong," Keshi told BBC Sport. "As a coach and former player I was also hurt that we failed to qualify for the last Nations Cup.
"To succeed we all need to come together as one because Nigeria belongs to us, this is not Stephen Keshi's team but our national team."
Keshi won 64 caps as a player for Nigeria between 1981 and 1995.
