Speaking to journalists, Monday, after a meeting with members of the technical committee of the NFF, Pinnick said the decision to get a quality coach was taken after the failure of the national team to qualify for the 2017 African Cup of Nations (AFCON). He further revealed that already his board has secured a partnership that will pay the salaries of five coaches a development that he added promises a brighter future for the national team. “We want to avoid as much as possible the perceived mistakes that made us to miss out of the AFCON 2017. To ensure that we brought the best coach that can qualify us for the World Cup, the first thing we did was to ensure we got a partner that will pay the fees of all the coaches. We sent a request of about five coaches and that was granted and the company requested we should keep every other thing under wraps for now.
