Former First Vice President of the Nigeria Football Federation Chief Amanze Uchegbulam has come out rubbish the statement of former England Coach Sven Goran Eriksson in his book, where he was quoted as saying that the NFF at that time, demanded half of his salary before he would be given the job of the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa
Reacting to this trending statement, Amanze Uchegbulam who is the Chairman of Imo State Football Association said “it is very important I put things in proper perspective. I was the first vice president then. Because we had chequered journey to qualifications for 2010 world cup, President Goodluck Jonathan’s government set up a Presidential Task Force with then Governor Rotimi Amaechi as Chairman. Other members include Segun Odegbami, John Fashanu, Austin Okocha, among others while Patrick Ekeji was the Secretary”.
Uchegbulam further challenged the Coach to further name those that made the request from him.
Sven Goran Eriksson has accused Nigerian football officials of asking to take half of his salary before giving him the job of managing the Super Eagles.
