It`s so disheartening to see a blessed country like Nigeria having leadership problems in every sector. Pple that know nothing abt sport controlling our sport ministry. Round peg in square hole is the bane of our national development. Finidi George and his coleagues shud be the ones controlling our sport ministry nd appointing the right coaches for our national teams.
Same way okocha almost ran down the delta FA
Don't even get me started on kanu and the enyimba debacle of jersey numbers
Or is it Eguavoen?

hmmm, I hope the NFF gets to take the decision on time in case he fails, siasia is our best local coach Olympics silver and bronze medalist is not a joke, u-20 finalist too, He plays attacking football too.
All those things are youth tournaments and most of those boys were overaged
Siasia is average

Good news!
I’m just happy it’s a Nigerian coach, not some foreigner fleecing from our scarce forex!

Exactly. With the calibre of players that made us win the Atlanta Olympics, we really have no business using foreign coaches.

Finidi, Amunike, Garba Lawal, Okocha, Kanu, all these guys are world class talents. But as usual, we don't value our own talents.

I'd say the reverse is the case here.

There is nothing to prove he is not capable.

What was our the resume of our last coach before he was appointed?

Would you say this if it was an Arteta, Alonso or De Rossi being appointed?

Amuneke should assist him.

As a former foreign based player, i hope he won't reject naira as salary
Assist who let him fail alone cos after naw they will say it's him and Amunike that failed

Let me even check snippets with Youtube. I don't recall watching it. But losing 0 - 2 is something to worry about, with Mali.

Modified

First goal was a defensive blunder. Second was clinically finished. Overall it wasn't completely a bad game but the tactical approach was not superb.

When our football legends retire they come back and join the politicians in milking the country as if they didn`t use to earn wages in their playing days.

Re: NFF Appoints Finidi George As Super Eagles Head Coach by CJStarz: 6:20pm On Apr 29
Rivers man. Very good at the games.
Thought they were about giving it to Amuneke?

amunike was the right person for the job
Re: NFF Appoints Finidi George As Super Eagles Head Coach by NOwazobia: 6:42pm On Apr 29
I would rather we fail with a local coach, than fail with a foreign coach.


There are many other local coaches...


If he fails, replace him with another local.


No to foreign coaches.

Someone who may play to their bids!


And when he fails... they have reason to shop for another laundering white man

Congratulations Finidi! I hope you'll give some homebssed players opportunity to play for the Eagles. Keshi did it, and succeeded.
You did well to invite the homebased goalkeeper

Maybe Amunike is not ready to bend some of the rules in favour of NFF to be given the coaching job as an indigenous coach
