Liberia hits Hey hitch

Liberia's hopes of acquiring a new national coach have hit a
hitch.
Hey is still waiting for details of his salary arrangements
Germany's Antoine Hey was due to sign his contract in Monrovia
Thursday but the ceremony was called off because of uncertainties
over his remuneration.
Sources at the Liberia Football Association told BBC Sport that
the sports ministry has yet to sort out the coach's salary
package.
"It's embarrassing that the man is here and we're yet to nail down
this matter," the highly-placed source said.
Deputy sports minister Marbue Richards told BBC Sport that there
was no budgetary allocation in this fiscal year for the coach's
remuneration.
He said: "We're working with the LFA but we did not place in the
2007-08 fiscal budget any allotment for a coach's salary.
"We are seeking ways of getting this matter addressed until the
new budget is passed.
"It is government's responsibility so we cannot shun it."
Hey is reportedly asking to be paid between eight and 10 thousand
dollars per month with a cash bonus if he qualifies the Lone Star
for the 2010 Nations Cup and World Cup finals.
