SCORENigeria has learnt that several NFF executive committee members are not in agreement of this appointment, while the NFF technical committee is still in the dark as to how the coaches they shortlisted were thrown out for the Swede.

“It was a unilateral decision by the NFF president and a top Government official,” an official informed SCORENigeria
“The decision for this appointment was not unanimous.”
