Maduka Okoye: Udinese reject transfer move for Super Eagles goalkeeper
Udinese have rejected every transfer move made by the Italian side Torino for Super Eagles' number one goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye.
“The coach (Herve Renard) is an excellent coach, he has experience; when it comes to African football and even world football, we have to be realistic. Can we afford him with the price tag?” Aghahowa said.
He added, “Even when the former coach was handling the team and he was earning about $50,000 to 70,000, it was difficult for us to pay him. We were owing him for months, and now we are talking about almost double of that amount, where are we going to get the money from?”
)
Instead of pursuing expensive foreign options, Aghahowa advocated that the country's football federation should invest in local coaches.
“We might not pay them as much as the foreign coaches, but pay them well, give them enough time to build the team, and I have confidence in our local coaches,” he concluded.
