Pfister named Togo coach
Despite the old manager still insisting he's the head coach, German Otto Pfister has been appointed manager of Togo after a poor African Cup of Nations.
The president of te Togolese FA Commander Rock Gnassingbe (Best. Name. Ever) confirmed on Wednesday Pfister's appointment: "We signed a short-term contract with Otto Pfister at the weekend,"
" I have not been told by anyone at the Togolese
football federation that I have lost my job and I remain in Togo to
honour my contractual obligations to them. The contract will cover the World Cup period and could be extended if the results at the World Cup are good."
All this probably came as news to Stephen Keshi, who was still of the opinion on Monday that he was very much employed: " I have not been told by anyone at the Togolese
football federation that I have lost my job and I remain in Togo to
honour my contractual obligations to them".
It almost makes the English FA seem competent. Almost.
