President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), narrowly escaped
being impeached by his fellow executive committee members, after the
botched appointment of Paul Le Guen, as the new coach of the Super
Eagles.
During the committee's meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, tempers flared and
board members threatened to impeach Pinnick, while also demanding to
know the full details of the sponsorship deal he secured to cover the
salaries of the new coach.
"Pinnick cut a very, very pathetic picture when he was faced with
impeachment as board members told him in clear terms they wanted to have
all the details of the financials regarding the foreign coach the NFF
plan to hire," an official toldAfricanFootball.com
"He was humiliated, thoroughly humiliated.
"You wouldn't believe it that he had to beg and beg that they should
not disgrace him and it was only after he promised to divulge all the
details of the sponsorship that he was let off the hook."
