'Get me Mourinho, Guardiola' Sports Minister tells NFF

Nigeria's Sports minister, Tam Danagogo has directed the Nigeria Football Federation to go get a top coach of the caliber of Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola if they can't reach an agreement Stephen Keshi.

Like we earlier reported, undefined, to agree over the contract of the coach.

"What I have urged the NFF to do is to make sure that should Keshi not be given the job, a coach with a lesser pedigree than Keshi should not be employed. I have said we should encourage our local coaches,” Danagogo said according to a report by Vanguard.

“Many have argued that presently Keshi is the best we have for now, while others are of the view that he has done his best.

“What I am saying is this, if Keshi declines the job, let’s look for another competent hand from the home front. But if we must get a foreign coach, then we must get the best hands not just any foreign coach.”

"And when we say the best hands, we should be looking at coaches in the class of the Jose Mourinho’s of this world, Pep Guardiola… Those are the kind of coaches we should be looking at," the Sports Minister said.
