Paul Le Guen
According to an authoritative report by Punch Newspaper, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) officials have settled for Frenchman, Paul Le Guen as the next Super Eagles coach.
Recall that we reported it here last
week Friday that the country's football governing body, NFF, released a
shortlist of three coaches - Le Guen, Salisu Yusuf and Tom Saintfiet,
but few days after, they have now chosen the Frenchman who will be
presented to the public on July 18.
While the Super Eagles manager is being confirmed according to
expectations, the position of assistant coach has taken a new turn as
the NFF could seek an alternative person to work in place of Yusuf who
had worked as one of the assistants to Sunday Oliseh.
It was learnt on Monday that the NFF members were already in search of a coach to work as the Nigerian assistant to Le Guen.
An NFF 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."
However, the former Kano Pillars coach, Yusuf, believes he now has enough managerial wisdom to lead the Super Eagles.
