French Coach Paul Le Guen has reportedly turned down an offer by the Nigeria National Football to coach the Super Eagles. NFF Technical Committee had on Monday named the former PSG Coach as the Technical Adviser for the Super Eagles, albeit subject to approval from the Executive committee. But reports from Le Guen’s home country (France) sparked up by French journalist, Herve Penot, who writes for L’Equipe, suggests the 52yrs old failed to agree on knotty issues with the NFF. “Paul le Guen will not go to Nigeria. Conditions not met to be coach. Nothing to do with the selection today,” a tweet from the official handle of Penot read. According to PT, one of the knotty issues Le Guen failed to agree on with the NFF was that he would prefer to operate from France while the NFF wants him permanently stationed in Nigeria. On Monday, the NFF committee confirmed the appointment of Frenchman Le Guen as new Technical Adviser of the Senior National Team, Super Eagles.
NFF Technical Committee also said Le Guen will be assisted by Nigerian Salisu Yusuf, who takes the role of Chief Coach. But it appears that may not happen. Since the exit of Sunday Oliseh in February, Super Eagles has been without a substantive coach.
