The story of Seychelles FF & Andrew Morrison

Have you read or heard about the story of the Seychelles Football Federation looking to appoint a new national coach and then appointing the wrong Andrew Morrison. A great story but major embarrassment for the island nations federation.

Here the story from the start.

A certain Andrew Amers-Morrison, a junior coach who runs the Samba Street Soccer School for disadvantaged kids in London, travelled to the Seychelles for a holiday but he was mistaken by the Seychelles FF to be Andrew Charles Morrison, a former Scottish footballer best known as a former Manchester City defender.

The SFF chairman Suketu Patel had said at the time, "We thought we were getting the real Andy Morrison, but instead we have an impostor."

The SFF originally offered Andrew Amers-Morrison a two year contract which he accepted. But when the SFF realised their mistake they asked their newly signed national coach to come for a meeting. Surprisingly Andrew Amers-Morrison wasn't fired, but rather given a six month contract to prove himself to the SFF. And if successful he could be given a long term contract.

An unbelievable story, but life sometimes is as crazy like this...
