Paul Le Guen refused to accept performance-related targets or to live in Nigeria.
Nigeria have admitted they had failed in their bid to land Paul Le
Guen as coach of the national side, claiming negotiations broke down
over the Frenchman's refusal to accept performance-related targets and
to reside in Nigeria.
In a statement
signed by executive committee member Suleiman Yahaya Kwande, the NFF
said on Wednesday they also disagreed with Le Guen's request to come to
the job with two assistants.
"The refusal of Mr. Paul Le Guen,
earlier recommended by the technical sub-committee, to accept to be
given targets as well as unwillingness to live in Nigeria, made his
candidature unacceptable to the Board," the statement read.
"Committee
also disapproved of Mr. Le Guen's desire to come to the job with two
assistants, which would make Nigerian coaches redundant."
Le Guen was named as technical adviser on Monday, prior to an agreement being reached, and the NFF explained that the announcement was made out of a desire for transparency.
Subsequently,
the board has instructed the technical committee to recommend another
candidate within seven days for the position.
