Despite plans by the leadership of the NFF to quickly bring in a new
coach to take over from interim coach Samson Siasia after Nigeria's exit
from AFCON 2017 participation, the sports minister has shelved plans to
bring in a new foreign technical adviser till a month's time after the
NFF submits a report to the sports ministry on how the foreign coach
will be paid once he is employed.
“We debated extensively on the issue of a foreign coach and it was
agreed that the technical committee to make a case why we would need a
foreign coach,” said Dalung to newsmen after a meeting with the NFF in
Abuja on Tuesday.
“We need to know where we will get the funds, there should be an
established source of funding for a foreign coach. I expect a report
from the NFF in four weeks.”
