SPORTS minister, Tammy Danagogo Tuesday recommended for the hiring of Chelsea handler, Jose Mourinho or Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola if their efforts to get Stephen Keshi for the Super Eagles failed.

Jose Mourinho

Guardiola

The minister’s recommendation has received knocks from the former Technical Director of NFA, Chief Kashimawo Laloko who described it as ‘unserious’

Danagogo had warned NFF should Keshi not be given the job, a coach with a lesser pedigree than Keshi should not be employed adding that, “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”.

But Speaking to Sports Vanguard yesterday, Chief Laloko was bemused at the minister’s recommendation as he said that whoever gave such advice did not know what he was doing.

He said, “ they are not serious! Can they pay Jose Mourinho? Can they pay Pep Guardiola? The person saying this does not know what he’s doing.

They don’t know what they are doing. Where will they get the money to pay any of these coaches should they hire them?”

. These coaches are not hungry coaches and what kind of contract terms are they going to discuss with them. The minister should leave the NFF alone to do their job”

He however declined to speak on the controversy mounting on whether Keshi should be given another contract or not.
