Togo’s Boss Quits Over Pay Dispute

World Cup debutants suffered a serious blow when their manager, Otto Pfister resigned over a pay dispute.

A statement from FIFA said: “ Mr Otto Pfister had a meeting with the Togo FA president Rock Gnassingbe last night and left. He said he was finished with the Togo team.”

The West African nation even saw their Prime Minister, Dem Kodjo, fly to Germany on Friday in the hope of resolving the dispute.

Twenty-four hours later has seen assistant coach Kodjovi Mawuena take over first-team duties.

A spokesman for Togo said: “ Mr Mawuena is the new coach and he is already conducting the training with the team.”

This is the the same guy who commented that Brazil were rated number 1 by FIFA while Togo are 59, but any team can beat any other team on any given day.

Yeah right mate, dream on.

When will these smaller nations learn.

It seems to happen everytime there is a major tournament.

Agree the payments before you go.
