Former Paris Saint-Germain manager Paul Le Guen
The Nigeria Football Federation says former Paris Saint-Germain
manager Paul Le Guen has turned down a contract to become the new
national team coach.
The NFF had announced the Frenchman's appointment on Monday
pending the finalization of his contract. On Tuesday, however, the NFF
confirmed that Le Guen objected to having targets written into the deal
and did not want to live in Nigeria.
In a statement, NFF official
Suleiman Yahaya-Kwande said: "There is absolutely no issue with Le Guen
saying he is not coming. Several highly-qualified persons would be happy
to be named manager of the senior national team of Nigeria."
Nigeria has been looking for a new coach since Sunday Oliseh quit in February.
