Rien à voir aujourd’hui avec la sélection” meaning”Paul Le Guen rejects Nigeria. Frenchman insists the country’s FA (NFF) yet to meet terms and conditions to be coach.”

However, the chairman of the NFF’s executive committee, Barrister Christopher Green has revealed that the board won’t beg Le Guen to accept the Super Eagles job as there are coaches waiting for this opportunity.
