Le Guen Named New Super Eagles Coach

The Technical and Development Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation on Monday named Frenchman Paul Le Guen, 52, as the new Technical Adviser of the Senior National Team, Super Eagles. He will be assisted by Nigerian Salisu Yusuf, who takes the role of Chief Coach. The appointments are subject to agreement of contract terms with the NFF Executive Committee.
 
New Eagles’ boss, Le Guen steered the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon to the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals. He played for Brest, Nantes and Paris Saint Germain and won 17 caps for France, before coaching Rennes, Lyon, PSG (in France) and Glasgow Rangers (in Scotland). He also coached Oman.
 
Yusuf, capped at U20 level by Nigeria, called the shots in interim capacity for two international friendly matches in Europe at the end of May, which the Eagles won.
 
Spokesman of the Committee, Paul Bassey, told thenff.com after the meeting at the NFF secretariat on Monday that Enugu Rangers gaffer Imama Amapakabo and former Super Eagles’ goalkeeper and skipper Alloy Agu, who served as assistant coach and goalkeeper trainer for the games against Mali and Luxembourg in May, retain their places in the technical crew.
 
The new crew’s immediate challenge is a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania in the first week of September – a dead rubber, but which would serve as ample preparation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying match away to Zambia on October 3.
 
The Committee has also recommended to the NFF Board, the appointment of one –time Super Eagles’ assistant coach Bitrus Bewarang as the new NFF Technical Director. Bewarang, who is president of the Nigeria Football Coaches Association, will replace the late Coach Shaibu Amodu.
 
There is also a recommendation that former Super Eagles’ defender Nduka Ugbade be restored to the U17 National Team as assistant to Coach Manu Garba.

Five Annoying Things Men Do During S*x

Image
File photo used only for illustrative purpose   Agreed, men do all they can to please their women in bed; but sometimes, they still manage to annoy women during that sacred moment.   The following are some of the things that can annoy your woman during s*x:   1 • You leave your socks on   Maybe you just like keeping your feet warm — or perhaps you think leaving your knee-high socks on is as erotic as her wearing heels to bed. Well, this is wrong, because it’s actually a major mood-killer for women. For one, it is not visually attractive, says a licensed marriage and family therapist, Monica Lieser.   Another not-so-innocent implication: Sporting socks during s*x may suggest you’re so agenda-driven — get in, get off! — that you’re unwilling to even fully undress. If you like the idea of staying partially clothed, leave your pants around your ankles instead of stripping down to your socks, Lieser suggests.   2 • You repeatedly touc...

Breakings: The Kind of Injustice, Malpractice and Corruption going on in University of Agriculture Makurdi

Image
Dear dpg , I seriously think that you people should turn your radar to the UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE, MAKURDI. The kind of injustice, malpractice and corruption going on in that school is unprecedented.  The latest one is the battle for the VC's office, Since the present VC Prof. Emmanuel Kucha will be leaving by November. He has left the school damaged without recognition. I wish you can visit or talk to any of your sources in makurdi.  Anyway, more than 11 people contested for the position, as at the day before yesterday, they were reduced to 9, who went in for the final rounds of vetting and interview yesterday. The outcome was released and the favorite candidate came first. That was the news yesterday, but this morning (today) the result have changed, due to external politically corrupt individuals who call themselves stakeholders in the state, who had never one day contributed to the success of the students or staff of that school.  To come and force a ...
