der Berliner 3,747 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I've got another link. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3698505/Paul-Le-Guen-turns-offer-new-Nigeria-coach-did-not-want-country.html I can't find any evidence of him managing Nigeria but google brings back reports from the 19th and 20th. Reporting that he was appointed and then it fell through. Can anybody else help us get to the objective truth? He was actually appointed their Technical Director ... http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paul-le-guen/profil/trainer/1234 ... while Gernot Rohr is their head coach. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Up and down as any impartial observer would admit. Big Eck made supporting us an absolutely miserable experience. I'm surprised you can't remember this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you not just try and be objective and look at the facts for once? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Le Guen is not the manager, or head coach, and never has been. Neither has he ever been the 'Technical Director', nor 'Technical Advisor', as he never accepted a post with the Nigerian Football Federation. Is that right? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no reason to distrust the first source linked, hence the first reply. And now I have checked it at TM and verified that. Whether manager, coach or technical director, he seems to be working over there. SBS, look, there! A unicorn!

Apart from the series of articles, published the very next day, reporting that he declined the post. Followed by a stony silence from the press on the topic since then. No mention of Nigeria on Le Guen's wikipedia page. But then Le Guen is mentioned on the Nigerian Football Federation's website. https://www.thenff.com/tag/paul-le-guen/ This one is particular is a pure belter https://www.thenff.com/2016/07/nff-we-never-said-le-guen-had-super-eagles-job/ Edited March 12, 2017 by ranger_syntax 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,747 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) Matter of fact, I looked at the German wikipedia website of LeGuen and the link given there. No reason to distrust them per se. Likewise the TM link above. If they are not up to it so be it and I won't go and whip myself.

It wasn't a miserable experience on helicopter Sunday, at least not for me 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
