Shocking: Paul Le Guen Rejects Nigeria Post

Barely 24 hours after confirmation, Frenchman Paul Le Guen has rejected his appointment as Nigeria coach claiming that the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) did not meet his contractual terms, according to media reports from France.

According to French sports newspaper L’Equipe, Le Guen has rejected the Nigeria post after the NFF’s failure to meet several of the conditions he tabled before them.

It was understood that, among his conditions, was he coming down with his back room staff that included an assistant coach and a goalkeeper trainer.

It is however unclear whether the NFF will reach a concensus with Le Guen or a new coach will be appointed.

Nigeria have been without a permanent coach since February, when Sunday Oliseh walked out on the Super Eagles after claiming his contract has been severally breached.

The three-time African champions are drawn in a tough 2018 World Cup qualifying group that has Algeria, Cameroon and Zambia.

Paul is competing for the vacant managerial seat alongside Belgium trainer, Tom Saintfiet and the home based Mohamed Salisu.

The NFF were rocked by the death of their head coach Stephen Keshi after a brief illness, leaving them with no option but to fill the void.
