At last, Eagles get new manager and it is not Salisu Yusuf
Nigeria Football Federation officials have chosen Frenchman Paul Le Guen as the next Super Eagles coach.
Le Guen was chosen ahead of indigeneous Salisu Yusuf and Tom Saintfiet who were shortlisted on Friday.
Le Guen will be introduced to the public on July 18, Punch reported.
However, 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.
It was 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.
