As far as NFF is not hiring Grade A coaches, the criteria will keep being subjective regardless of the name or country of the coach. Gaskiya

Goke7:


As your Lordship pleases!

M7even:


Even if it is EPL. I, as a Super Eagles fan wholeheartedly wishes him the best of his club career and hopeful desire to play for three lions

Joebie:
When England comes calling forget it. Why we didn't get Eze etc

Odunayaw:
It is when the major is exhausted that we can then look on the minor. Love for handling SE and the PR towards it is secondary to ability and experience.

I appreciate that you confirm they are both blank states. If Chelle don't give us the cup then we can compare him to predecessors. That is fine. They've done it to everyone, he is not special.

On quality of play. Yes results matter but it is a worry that it seems that after they leave the team descends into disarray.

M7even:


The point is we don't need him. Even when he actualizes his dreams to play for England, we wish him good luck.

Tessyy1701:


Alonso's record was blank before Kusen gamble on Him,
The great Pep was not of the world class before Barca promote Him,
Herve Renard has nothing to do with RECORD prior to 2012.

Joebie:
If we are goung to have a sustainable playing style it would take patience and a holistic plan

Joebie:
Even Herve for example is not a Grade A coach. There are proven coaches that are not in the elite grade.

Joebie:
If we are truly patriotic and we belive our nation is a big nation at least in football then we should demand someone befitting. We can't watch and see other African nations employ proven coaches yet we say we can't afford it. Can we truly not afford proven coaches, put together a long term plan etc? Aren't we Nigeria?

They tell you they don't have money and we suck it in like a simp. Whereas people are sharing salary.

We’re at a critical point in our World Cup qualifiers. What we need is an experienced coach that can bail us out.

Chelle might have the skill set and potential but he will not have time to grow on the team. We need short term solution.

Odunayaw:
I agree If Herve is not a grade A coach then we'd need to have a lot of faith in whomever we decide to employ

elyte89:


I disagree on dis cos any coach we employ right now is a gamble even if u re guardiola ..what impact will guardiola make within three days of camping aside maybe d confidence …our qualification rest on d shoulders of our players if Dey truly want to qualify .Dey need to give deir all on the pitch

minfelix:
capping capping capping everywhere.
hire Herve renard
hire Tom Sanfiet
hire Pep Guardiola
Hire Eric Chelle
Employ Sia Sia
if the goal and mindset is to qualify SE at all cost to world cup, then all amount to gambling…e no sure any coach..all of them will come and try their luck.
respect NFF decisions of who they chose to gamble with….at this point Grade A or Grade B or Grade C no matter in our March Crucial qualifiers….when situations has entered level of gamble or rushing, e no sure any coach again..anyone can come in and try his luck.
Emerse Far came in and luckily gambled his way to final beating all so called grades especially that Senegalese coach and our foreign grade A peseiro

Joebie:
My rationale for Saintfeit is simply his love for handling the Super Eagles which he has applied fir severally, and very likely his knowledge of our team that he must have heen following. I see there is a new PR attempt for Chelle that the Super Eagles has been deer to him since he was 12. May be true....

Back to Seinfeit, yes he is a blank slate as well, and he has not even managed teams at the level of the Mali national team but he has some experience with African national teams.

And if Chelle doesn't give us glory in the next AFCON, would we see it as a failure? I can see there is more expectation from him based on past AFCON. Let's not forget he is a young coach with limited experience. So we should keep our expectations realistic and be patient as he tracks his CV and hopefully achieves something new with us in the process.

On quality of play, we have seen that from some of our indigenous coaches. At the end of the day, it's the results that will matter

Joebie:
I agree with him. Go for a coach that has faced similar presures and fared well. Still not a guarantee but a more calculated decision. And also have the long term in mind.

Chelle wasn't doing well with Mali in WC qualification

kingphilip:

Sir please how did you come about the bold?

minfelix:

omo the way you people are so robotic about this football eehn…this rigid mindset doesn’t work in football ooo…its not asif Chelle was just picked from the roadside to come coach SE.
Im sure many finished Keshi back then for including sunday mba and dropping some more illustrious to afcon 2013 sqaud…

Joebie:
Make i vouch for person based on NL alone abi? Lol

Yes gambling makes you not robotic.

Goke7:


Then we should have continued with Finidi and take risk cos we saw some beautiful football too

minfelix:

Hiring a Guardiola to give you and your likes a hope and high chance of qualifying because they are the ones that can handle such pressure and later failing to deliver…no b heart attack b that?
