The 51-year-old led the Super Eagles to the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations title in February, and has also taken them to within reach of
qualifying for the 2014 World Cup finals.
However, the former Mali and Togo boss has not been considered for this year's top coaching honour, but he is not losing any sleep over the omission and believes there will be plenty more chances in the future to put himself in the frame for the prestigious award.
"Honestly I don't want to bother myself with such because it is no big deal," he told SuperSport .
"I don't know how they agreed on who qualifies to be nominated or what criteria were used in the process of nomination. That's why
I say it is no big deal not being nominated.
"Personally I believe there will be more opportunities in the future to get a shot at the award. But I have a job to do with my country's national team at the moment and I
am only focused on that.
"We have a crucial World Cup qualifying game (against Ethiopia) to play in a matter of days that will determine our World Cup chances."
