"Committee also disapproved of Mr. Le Guen's desire ‎to come to the job with two assistants, which would make Nigerian coaches redundant.

"The Committee noted that it was the desire to show transparency that made the Technical and Development Sub-Committee‎ to make public its recommendation in the first place."

The statement further added: "The Committee further resolved that any candidate that would be so recommended by the Technical and Development Sub-Committee must have accepted to be handed targets‎ and must also be willing to live in Nigeria.
