Former coach of the senior national team of Sweden Janne Andersson has revealed the reason behind his decision to snub the offer of becoming the new coach of the senior national team of Nigeria, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Nigeria is been led in interim by the technical director of the football house in Austine Eguavoen for the AFCON qualifiers, where they have picked a 3-0 win over Benin Republic and drew 0-0 away to Rwanda. They will be up against Libya on the 11th and 15th of October respectively.
Like we exclusively reported last month, the 62 year old Swede was picked by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for the role of the substantive coach of the Nigerian team, but he declined the offer.
Speaking on his next career move, Andersson said he will be making a decision soon and gave reasons why he snubbed the offer of becoming the new coach of Nigeria. He also confirms receiving an offer from Latvia.
“I received two specific proposals from Latvia and Nigeria, which I chose to decline. Nigeria wanted me to be the national coach. There was a lot that attracted me, but the overall package wasn’t that great”, the coach said.
“It didn’t feel 100 percent right, and it needs to be fully invested”.
