Manu Samoa rugby coach Fuimaono Titimaea Tafua says he is still the right man for the job and doesn't believe World Rugby should interfere.
The former Manu Samoa player and captain was appointed to a second stint in charge of the team a year ago against the wishes of the governing body, who refused to pay his salary.
But after just two wins from seven tests, the Samoa Rugby Union made the decision to re-advertise the position, despite Fuimaono's contract running through to the 2019 World Cup.
Fuimaono told Vinnie Wylie he achieved the goal of qualifying for next year's tournament in Japan and doesn't understand why he is now being pushed towards the exit.
