Le Guen: NFF has disgraced Nigeria – Onigbinde

Former coach of the Super Eagles, Adegboye Onigbinde, has blasted officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), over the botched appointed of Paul Le Guen as coach of the national team.

The Executive Committee of the NFF, named Le Guen as Sunday Oliseh’s replacement. But in a dramatic turn of events, the Frenchman rejected the role and claimed he never applied for the job, neither was he interested in coaching the former African champions.

Onigbinde, who is a former FIFA/CAF Technical Advisor, says heads should have rolled in the Glass House.

“A portion of FIFA rules talks about a game being brought into disrepute,” Onigbinde told Completesportsnigeria.com.

“The NFF by that singular act of shabbily handling the purported appointment and or recommendation of Le Guen and even making it a public discourse, to me, have brought Nigeria into disrepute and should have resigned or be sacked were it to be in other climes.

“That a football federation interviewed a coach on Skype and announced to the world he has been recommended for appointment, only for the coach to say no, I don’t want your job, keep it to yourself.

“What a shame, what an embarrassment.”
