NFF technical committee chairman, Chris Green, sensationally stormed out of a meeting chaired by president Amaju Pinnick to decide on a new foreign coach for Nigeria.
The disagreement, AfricanFootball.com further gathered, had to do with the role Green’s technical committee will play in the selection of
the new Nigeria coach and that the meeting of the NFF top shots will be in Lagos on Friday.
And now, we can also report that Green has taken exception to only him being on a committee that will shortlist and then interview the prospective coaches.
A top official told AfricanFootball.com: “Green walked out on the meeting but not without firing warning to the NFF president, Amaju Pinnick. They were very choice words.
“It is now left to be seen what will be the way forward in the country’s quest to get started for the World Cup qualifiers in October.”
Another official told AfricanFootball.com that the technical committee was sidetracked in the appointment of the last Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh.
“They only rubber stamped Oliseh’s appointment,” the official revealed.
Nigeria, without a permanent coach since February, face a daunting task to qualify for a sixth World Cup after they were drawn in 'The Group of Death' qualifying tournament along with Africa's No.1 ranked team Algeria, nine-time World Cup finalists Cameroon and 2012 African champions Zambia.
