Huge salary offer for Vogts in Azerbaijan

Berne, April 1 (DPA) Hamburg: Azerbaijan football officials have said that they were prepared to pay former Nigeria coach Berti Vogts a huge salary to take charge of their national team. A statement on the home website of the Azerbaijan football association said that they would be willing to pay one million for the development of football in their country.

Azerbaijan FA president Rovnag Abdullayev said that he did not want to talk about figures, nor did he want to talk about the currency. 'But once the contract is signed, we will release the figure. We have nothing to hide,' he said. German Vogts, the 61-year-old World Cup winner who resigned as coach of Nigeria last month after the Super Eagles were knocked out of the African Cup of Nations at the quarter-final stage, confirmed that he had held a meeting with Azerbaijan officials, but denied that they had reached an agreement.
