“Shuaibu Amodu is the National Technical Director and as such he is involved in all the games of the national teams, whether in the under-17, under-20 or Super Eagles.
“Normally, as the National Technical Director, Oliseh will report to him (Amodu), while he (Amodu) reports to the Technical Committee and from there to the General Secretary and finally to the Executive Committee of the NFF.
Speaking further, Green said,“Amodu’s function is to prepare programmes for the Federation for the various national teams for the next five years. So, for every game we play, he is involved by virtue of his position. All of us will have to work together.
He added that there would be no clash of duties as all functions have been well spelt out.
“However, Amodu is not directly involved in the handling of the Super Eagles, but he is directly involved in the formulation of policies and programmes for all the national teams. He will only give directives through his programmes and policies for the team, ahead of the qualifiers with Egypt, Tanzania and Chad.”
