The Nigeria Football Federation(NFF), on Wednesday debunked the news that has been making the rounds recently that it has appointed former Nigerian international, Daniel Amokachi as its technical director.
A statement issued in Abuja by NFF’s spokesman, Ademola Olajire, said the football body never advertised for the position of technical director, let alone making any appointment at all.
“This clarification becomes necessary against the background of wide-circulating but totally misleading reports of the appointment of Mr. Daniel Amokachi, a former Super Eagles captain and coach, as head of NFF technical department.The NFF has been bemused by this unfounded story, which no doubt must have embarrassed Mr. Amokachi himself,” Olajire said.
He, however, confirmed that Bitrus Bewarang remains the association’s technical director.
