The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has chosen Paul Le Guen, as the new Super Eagles manager.
According to the PUNCH, the football house picked the Frenchman, from a three-man shortlist that included Salisu Yusuf and Tom Saintfiet.
It is also understood that the NFF will consider Yusuf as an assistant coach. The former Kano Pillars boss had earlier said he was not interested in being second in command to anybody.
The official said: “As it is now the position of the deputy has been thrown open because Yusuf is still insisting that he would not work as an assistant to Le Guen.
“Those who worked on their entries picked the Frenchman and with the hope that Yusuf could learn a lot from him for the immediate future but he (Yusuf) appears to have some other ideas so the federation will now have to consider a new person altogether to replace Yusuf.”

I really don't understand why he must be a foreign coach.
ReplyDeleteWhy not keep giving our indigenous coaches a chance until we get it right? What should have been done is to send the indigenous coaches abroad for training and re-training to build them up.
