Former Eagles coach Austin Eguavoen has suggested a solution to the current financial woes being experienced by a number of the Nigerian Professional football clubs.
Eguavoen in an exclusive chat with www.brila.net says sponsorship is the major problem for the local clubs as most teams are being backed financially by State Governments.
”I think the number one is the sponsorship thing because the government don’t have money to sponsor the majority of the clubs,”
‘Individuals that sponsors clubs sometimes don’t get what they want, we should still encourage them to please do, big companies that are supposed to come to our aid are not forthcoming, that’s the major issue,’ He said.
Eguavoen also stated that the Football federation leadership should ring in people with the knowledge of Football business and sponsorship into the league without undermining the efforts of the current handlers of the League.
Eguavoen was appointed the caretaker coach of Nigeria in June 2005 with his coaching staff including Samson Siasia, Daniel Amokachi, and Ike Shorunmu.
