What sort of rubbish is this? Why is NFF this useless? If you want to eat a frog eat the one that has eggs. The fact we need a foreign coach doesn't mean we should go and hire any Tom, Dick and Harry. What happened to the likes of Jose Mourinho, Brendan Rodgers, Luciano Spalleti, Louis Van Gaal, Andre Villas Boas, Simon Karanka, Unai Emery etc? Does Le Guen even understand English properly? |

Paul Le Guen (French pronunciation: [pɔl lə ɡwɛn] ;
born 1 March 1964) is a French football manager and
a former player. His last role was as manager of the
Oman national football team , from which he was
relieved in November 2015.
Playing career
During his playing career he enjoyed successful stays
with FC Nantes and PSG and won 17 caps for the
French national team .
Club level
During his playing career, Le Guen played at Stade
Brest for six years, Nantes Atlantique for two years,
before leaving Brittany for Paris St. Germain where he
played for seven years (with 478 appearances and a
Cup Winners' Cup medal in 1996 ).
International level
At international level he played 17 times for France
due to injuries and he was part of the team which
lost out on a trip to the World Cup in 1994, along
with Eric Cantona and David Ginola. He ended his
playing career by taking part in a friendly where his
home region of Brittany faced Cameroon on 21 May
1998. The match finished 1–1.
Managerial career
Le Guen had a successful managerial career in
France, most notably leading Olympique Lyonnais to
three consecutive Ligue 1 titles. He has also
managed Stade Rennais , Paris Saint-Germain ,
Glasgow Rangers and the Cameroon national team .
Rennes
During his time at Rennes between 1998 and 2001,
Le Guen was noted for signing then unknown players,
such as Shabani Nonda and El Hadji Diouf, who
under his guidance, developed into talented
footballers. He resigned from Rennes in 2001 after a
fall-out with the club's board. This led to him taking
a year off from football.
Lyon
Le Guen replaced Jacques Santini as manager of
Olympique Lyonnais in 2002 after they captured their
first league title. Le Guen experienced a grim start to
his managerial career at Lyon, winning only 3 games
of the first 9, but eventually took Lyon to a further
three consecutive championships and reached the
UEFA Champions League quarter-final. He resigned
from his position at Lyon on 9 May 2005, the day
after the club won their fourth consecutive Ligue 1
championship. He was replaced by Gérard Houllier .
After leaving the club, Le Guen embarked upon
another year away from football management. During
this time he turned down management positions at
several top European clubs including Benfica and
Lazio and also stated that he would not return to
manage his former club PSG .[1]
Rangers
On 11 March 2006, it was confirmed that Paul Le
Guen had agreed to replace Alex McLeish as manager
of Rangers starting in the 2006–07 season .[2] Le
Guen signed a three-year contract [3][4] with the
option to extend his stay at Ibrox , [1] and quickly
acquired a number of players.
However, Le Guen made a poor start to his Ibrox
career. His record across his first ten league games
was the worst start to a season by an Old Firm
debutant since John Greig's team won only two,
drew six and lost two of their opening ten games in
1978–79. [5]
On 8 November, Rangers were knocked out of the
Scottish League Cup at the quarter-final stage by
First Division side St Johnstone . The result, the first
time Rangers had been knocked out of a cup
tournament by a lower league side at home, [6][7]
prompted protests outside Ibrox and demands for the
situation to improve. [citation needed ]
On 1 January 2007, Rangers announced that Le Guen
had stripped Barry Ferguson of his captaincy of the
club and dropped him from the squad for a match the
following day. BBC Sport reported that Ferguson
would not play for Rangers again under Le Guen. [8]
Murray announced on 4 January 2007 that Paul Le
Guen had left Rangers by mutual consent. [9] This
made him the club's shortest-serving manager, and
the only one to leave the club without completing a
full season in charge. [citation needed ]
Le Guen's European record with Rangers has been
described as being 'excellent' after remaining
unbeaten in the UEFA Cup and finishing at the top of
their group.[10][11] Although it was the poor
domestic results that ultimately led to his departure.
[10]
Paris Saint Germain
Le Guen in 2008
It was announced on 15 January 2007 that Le Guen
would return to the club he once skippered as a
player as first team coach replacing Guy Lacombe at
Paris Saint Germain . When he arrived, PSG were lying
17th in Ligue 1 but he led them to safety in his first
season finishing 15th. [12] As the 2007–08 season in
Ligue 1 unfolded, it was clear that Le Guen was
getting inconsistent performances from the crop of
players, as the club was in the relegation zone with
four games in the league season remaining, while
winning the Coupe de la Ligue and qualifying for the
final of the Coupe de France . Winning the Coupe de la
Ligue guaranteed PSG a place in the UEFA Cup for
the 2008–09 season. PSG announced in May 2009
that Paul Le Guen would not be offered a new
contract and would leave at the end of the 2008–09
season.
Cameroon national football team
Le Guen was named Cameroon national football team
manager in July 2009, signing a five-month contract.
[13] He made an immediate impact by leading the
team to qualification for the 2010 World Cup in South
Africa. [14] He also stripped veteran defender Rigobert
Song of the captaincy and appointed Samuel Eto'o as
the new captain. Both players responded well to the
change with Eto'o getting goals, and Song winning
back his starting spot as the Lions qualified for the
finals. However Cameroon were the first team
officially knocked out of the 2010 World Cup. He
announced his resignation on 24 June 2010. [15]
Oman national football team
Towards the end of the 2010–11 season, Le Guen
claimed he had received job offers from several Ligue
1 clubs that were seeking new candidates to fill the
remaining vacancies[citation needed ], but he turned
them all down. He eventually accepted an offer from
Oman national football team on 11 June 2011. [16] He
led Oman to qualification for the 2015 AFC Asian
Cup, where they were be absent in 2011 . Oman were
eliminated in the group stage of the tournament with
one win and two losses. He was sacked on 19
November 2015 after a poor start of 2018 FIFA World
Cup qualification campaign. |

This man was the coach of the 7titles winning team of olympic lyon of the early 2000. Had the likes of sydney govou, maluda, essien, diarra etc in that team. Aside that, he hasn't gone one to do too well in coaching. Never expected anything better from NFF, because they won't be able to rip off the grade A coaches' salaries but this is a kind of guy that will settle for such arrangement. |

I think the issue of hiring foreign or local coach for Super eagles should a competitive affairs.. How on earth could they just pick somebody who is jobless & tell us ,he is the next coach hired for super eagles. Why didn't they invite as many coaches as possible & interview them to pick the best.

This is well known. Anyone NFF believes can qualify us for the World Cup should be appointed, If it's Le Guen, that would be great. If it's Amodu, that is good. If it's Keshi, that's fine..They have all done it before for their respective teams. |
