Super Eagles: Le Guen Okayed, Yusuf Loses Assistant Position by detiosa(m): 2:39pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
The PUNCH can confirm that the Nigeria Football
Federation officials have settled for Frenchman Paul
Le Guen as the next Super Eagles coach. The football
house had made a shortlist of three coaches on
Friday: Le Guen, Salisu Yusuf and Tom Saintfiet but
few days after have now chosen the Frenchman who
will be introduced to the public on July 18.
But while the Eagles manager is being confirmed
according to expectations, the position of assistant
coach has taken a new turn as the federation could
seek an alternative person to work in place of Yusuf
who had worked as one of the assistants to Sunday
Oliseh.
Our correspondent learnt on Monday that the NFF
members were already in search of a coach to work
as the Nigerian assistant to Le Guen.
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.
The former Kano Pillars coach believes he now has
enough managerial wisdom to lead the Eagles.
