Former Super Eagles Coach, Shuaibu Amodu yesterday, formally resumed duty as the Nigeria Football Federation Technical Director. Amodu finally received his letter of appointment which had been on hold since the last board presided over by Aminu Maigari announced his engagement in its twilight days.
Amodu, who confirmed that his appointment letter was dated April 1st 2015, said he is not after the $5,OOO (about N1.1million) initially proposed to him as monthly salary, but on how to take the game to the next level in the country.
“My target will be to work for the progress of Nigeria football vis a vis all the national teams, from under 17 to Super Eagles whatever input we can give directly or indirectly to the technical support experts, we will do it,” Amodu said.
The ex-Orlando Pirates of South Africa manager explained that he would start work by listening to both the administrators and coaches at various levels before making any input.
He said that he would reduce the huge bills usually incured in prosecuting international matches by bridging the gap between the foreign-based players and their home-based colleagues.
“I think we should go back to the (Clemens) Westerhof days when majority of the boys are picked from the local teams with an addition of few foreign-based pros.
“I will advise that the home-based players are kept together in camp in order to realise our ambition,” Amodu said.
