The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) says Frenchman, Paul Le Guen did not agree to the terms offered him to become the next technical adviser/head coach of the Super Eagles.
The 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.
It was said that he refused the employment because the Nigeria Football Federation NFA failed to meet his terms and conditions.
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) technical committee member Barrister Christopher Greenhas confirmed the reports.
“The announcement made on Monday (by the NFF’s technical committee) was quite clear. Le Guen was offered the job subject to contract terms being agreed.
“We had to look at the best interest of the country before offering anyone the job (to manage the Super Eagles) and one of such conditions was that the new technical adviser would reside in Nigeria.
“A situation where Nigeria will be the loser will never be accommodated by the NFF.
“We want a coach who will not just take the Super Eagles to the next level but will develop Nigerian football as a whole and if he does not reside in Nigeria, it may not be feasible,” Green said.
