    Giovanni Trapattoni: Nigeria? I Prefer Ireland

    The Ireland boss admits he would prefer to stay with Ireland...

    Giovanni Trapattoni - Ireland (PA)

    Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni has distanced himself from reports linking him with a summer job as Nigeria coach.

    The Eagles are looking for someone to guide them through the World Cup after they sacked Shaibu Amodu last month.

    But Trapattoni doesn't seem convinced, even though he likes the idea.

    "Yes, Nigeria is a possibility and it's a good proposition, but we must not forget that I still have two years on my contract with Ireland," he told Malindakenya.net.

    "I like Ireland even more as a team and we saw that we played a good game against a great Brazil team.

    "I have built something important, and so if there is a lack of alternative and serious projects then I will stay in Dublin."

    I especially like the last bit. Well, if there's nothing better really I'll stick with Ireland.:D

    Yeah, it hardly makes us think that he's actually that interested in his current job. Hopefully it was a misquote.

    Hopefully, and while I'm not inferring anything, it looks like the Kenyan version of The Sun. http://www.malindikenya.net/:p

    That quote is probably right. Who wouldn't move on for something better in any walk of life. Luckily enough what Trap has is very good. Lotsa $$$, can live in Italy, no pressure and a committed squad.

    Trap is goin nowhere.

    If it isn't misquoted, it's a terrible PR exercise. He may think he has rebuffed Nigeria but he has actually alienated Ireland at the same time. Even if it's what he feels, don't say it publicly.
