The lack of order and openness in the manner football is run in Nigeria has compelled newly appointed Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Frenchman Paul Le Guen, to reject the Nigeria Football Federation’s offer. He cited the fact that NFF was yet to meet the terms and conditions that would make him work for Nigeria.
According to reports, the 52-year-old rejected the offer because the Nigeria Football Federation NFA failed to meet his terms and conditions.
Herve Penot, a journalist at L’ Euipe, wrote via his handle @hpenot_lequipe: “Paul Le Guen rejects Nigeria. Frenchman insists the country’s FA (NFF) yet to meet terms and conditions to be coach.”
The Technical and Development Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation on Monday named Le Guen as the new Technical Adviser of the Senior National Team, Super Eagles while Nigerian Salisu Yusuf was named as his assistant, who takes the role of Chief Coach.
The NFF has said the appointments are subject to agreement of contract terms with its Executive Committee.
The development means that the NFF would scurry back to the marketplace to shop for a fitting Technical Adviser for a rudderless Super Eagles team.
