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 dream Technical Adviser was quoted as saying that lack of order and openness in the manner football is run in Nigeria as being one of the reasons why he would not take up the job offered him by the Nigeria football ruling body.
He was also quoted as saying that NFF did not meet the terms and conditions that would make him work for Nigeria.
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. [myad]
