All those things are youth tournaments and most of those boys were overaged
Siasia is average
nah Olympics isn't exclusively a youth tournament, a tournament that had stars like messi di maria and aguero who we met at the final, can any local coach do that ?the Olympics is an international tournament even our most cherished memory in football came in the same Olympics stage Atlanta 96, even when he was super eagles coach he didn't lose a game,at the qualifiers the reason we failed to qualify for Afcon then was because he wasn't in charge when we started our qualifier.

Because he failed to lift Afcon make him a failure ogaooo. Thank God say Afcon dey next year make I laugh small

Irrespective of how Finidi performs, I'd always be an advocate of equpping and supporting local talent.

We could aswell sit at home and beg oyibo folks to be our doctors, governors, employers e.t.c. infact to come recolonise us. We should give our mineral reserves freely to them, close our refineries and not produce anything rather import all we could from them.

There is no shortcut to success. We have to invest in, build and support local capacity.

the Olympics is not a youth games,you are permitted to bring three over aged players but 23 years old player is already an adult in life and in football I don't see how him playing over aged players as you claim, how does overaged players become an advantage when you are playing against 23 years old who are already regulars in their clubs in Europe, mbappe, haaland, foden rashford these guys were already stars playing first team football before the age of 23. Siasia is good, you may disagree but the Olympics games is the closest thing to the world cup, for him to have won silver, and bronze on two separate occasion is a testament to that.

You all are just shouting Amunike up and down do u know amuineke just won just 2 games in his whole Tanzanian coaching career? In went to Egypt he didn't win a match he went to zambia league can't win a match if u want to say under17 then Manu Garba is also qualify to coach eagles too

I tire o. Some people be just be shouting Amunike anyhow like he is the god of Nigerian football. I smell sentiments here. If Amunike was not given the opportunity would he have had those records? Let's give Finidi George a chance to showcase what he has acquired over the years. What is it sef?

he was appointed just once as the eagles coach, and the reason he was sacked was because Nigeria didn't qualify for the 2012 nations cup, and the reason why was because the interim coach then I think it was probably eguavoen lost some early games when siasia came in Nigeria was in a position where we needed to win all our remaining games and in the final qualifier he drew i think it was against Benin republic that was how we failed to qualify for Afcon and he was sacked, but he never lost a game except the return friendly against Argentina,which we won the first leg 4 nil in, siasia may not be world class but as far as local coaches go he is by far the best.

Hmm. Wetin be Finidi's pedigree as a coach? Anyway, thank God that age and responsibility has significantly reduced my old passion for the Super Eagles.
Re: NFF Appoints Finidi George As Super Eagles Head Coach by Christlike01: 9:16pm On Apr 29
As Finidi George is not from their tiny enclave now,their prayers will be for him to fail so that they can say "we no tell you ?",evil people!

Finidi George will succeed as the Super Eagles coach. Let me hear somebody say amen!

The conversation of what local (or African coach) to give is a healthy one. But the sentiment that a white man is better suited (mainly because he's white) is what I'm against. Afterall our last AFCON cup was won by a Nigerian coach.

https://www.channelstv.com/2024/04/29/breaking-nff-appoints-finidi-george-as-super-eagles-head-coach/
naptu2, it's a wrong decision. Finidi's Enyimba crashed out in Africa Football League contest last year. In fact, they were at the bottom of the table. This is under Finidi watch/tutelage.

Same Enyimba under his watch crashed out in the preliminary stage of the CAF Champions league. Ditto Remo stars F.C. It's only Rivers United F.C that made it to group stage of the CAF confederation cup which they crashed out in quarter finals and ensured Nigeria still had four teams representation on the continent.

Now,such a person is elevated to tinker super eagles. A failure. A disaster!

In contrast, Amuneke ,people's favourite was dropped purely on primordial considerations.
Ibrahim Gusau is Amaju Pinnick Boy and he anointed him as his successor last year. Ever since then, he exercises influence on decision of NFF Board.

Last week, Amaju Pinnick flew the kite by saying he supports Finidi to take over as Paseiro successor in absence of foreign coach.
He gave phoney reasons for his choice. I told a friend that NFF leadership will appoint Finidi George as the text coach because he represents hands of Esau. NFF is mere voice of Jacob.

So, don't be surprised with appointment of Finidi George. It's the handiwork of Amaju Pinnick who now calls the shot in NFF decision makings.

Relax.....If Finidi doesn't do the job as required, they'll give it to Amunike.

He's only 53. There's time. He will coach Eagles.

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.

Being a good footballer does not translate to being a good coach. Ask Lampard.
