Super Eagles’ job: NFF disowns Le Guen

By Daily Sports on July 19, 2016

The Executive Committee of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Tuesday clarified the

situation with regards to the recommendation of its Technical and Development Committee that

Frenchman Paul Le Guen be named the new Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles, saying all

sub –committees in the Federation can only make recommendations to the Board.

Chairman of the NFF Media and Publicity Committee, Hon. Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande,

dismissed reports in local and international media of the Frenchman’s rejection of the position as

simply preposterous.

He said: “The press statement was clear, to the effect that all appointments made at the Technical

and Development Committee meeting were mere recommendations, which had to be deliberated

upon and agreed to by the Board. No sub-committee in the NFF, except the judicial bodies, takes

decisions. They only make recommendations.

“In truth, the Technical and Development Committee perused the profiles of all the coaches who

submitted applications and find Mr. Paul Le Guen suitable for the post. But during final

negoatiations, he objected to being given a target and also did not wish to live in Nigeria, which

was a sore point with the Board.”

Yahaya-Kwande added: “The job of Head Coach of Nigeria is a very big one and there is no way

anyone will get such a job without being handed a target. There is absolutely no issue with Le

Guen saying he is not coming; several highly-qualified persons would be happy to be named

Manager of the Senior National Team of Nigeria.” (PRNigeria)
