The Nigeria Football Federation have maintained they have not signed a contract with Belgian coach Tom Saintfiet as the country’s technical director.

The appointment of Saintfiet has generated a lot of reactions after the country’s minister of sports Bolaji Abdullahi asked the NFF to jettison the idea of employing the Belgian coach.

NFF media committee chairman Emeka Inyama told Soccerroomtoday.com, “We don’t have any contractual agreement with Saintfiet.

“We only announced that we have resolved to give him the job. No papers were signed, no contract was entered into and as such we have no reason to say we are sacking him.”

On March 28, 2012, Inyama addressed a world press conference announcing that the 38-year-old Belgian has been handed a four-year contract with a $20,000 monthly salary.

However, the NFF have failed in their effort to secure a work permit for the former Ethiopia and Namibia coach. It is now believed the job will be given to a local man.

GEJ will set up a 9-man committee to investigate a one man verbal contract later. This hell is called Nigeria. How could some bigots be scared of going to any other hell?

Imagine!

I think the NFF might just end up paying off this man for doing Nothing!

The man has obviously agreed to remit 75% of the money back to the NFA.

This is the clean way NFA chop money these days. They started this scam with Berti Vogts, then Lagerbach.
