The technical committee is knees deep with these coaches, if they conduct this interview there's a 100% chance it will not be fair

Pinnick got this one right
looking at it from your angle, I think you are right

Meanwhile some people are still waiting for private company to recruit coaches for them. How can PWC be doing recruitment, are they a sports company?! From what I know they are a finance/economic company. Na wa for Naija

Which angle?! What specialities do PWC have in order to be in charge of recruiting football coaches? Do their staff know about coaching licenses and qualifications or the knowledge/experience to understand the cv of coaches? Very silly from the NFF. Infact make dem kuku sack every body in technical committee, since they can’t be trusted to do their jobs

^ PwC is a consulting firm. They are useful for benchmarking the recruiting process against global standards, making shortlists and recommendations for the technical committee to consider.

The use of third party consultants is a step in the right direction. It reduces the bias and ensures that the coaches are employed based on their qualifications and experience.

Nice try but that's a lie. What I did was prove to u that Awaziem kept a man on-side in the lead up to a goal. Me and you never discussed that goal.

On Wilfred Ndidi

Wilfred Ndidi has returned to training after his surgery last week.

Brendan Rodgers on Ndidi:

"Wilfred Ndidi has made great progress, he’s out on pitch already working, which is great news for us, but of course, he won’t be available for the weekend. We’ll see after that.”

You talking as if selecting a national team coach Is a Herculean task...

pwc is more transparent and better organised than the technical committees of the NFF.

This guys are skilled in the task of job recruitment..
Just in case you don't know how this private companies works....they've what they call MOU which are often signed with technical partners in areas they are deficient in.
For example I work in an energy company but some times we handle furniture and computer procurement not singlehandedly but through some of our technical partners..... and also some consulting jobs too.

So I believe PWC will likely draw up in a technical partner to handle it if given the job and they'll do it better than the NFF corrupt technical committee

Matchday Report of Dakkada's home loss to Nassarawa



Unheralded Nasarawa United Stun Dakkada FC 3-0 In Uyo
On Jan 17, 2020 803

Upsets in the MatchDay 15 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) continued on Thursday with Anas Yusuf lifting lowly placed Nasarawa United at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium against a hitherto high riding Dakkada FC on a day they were most uninspiring.

Yusuf in the 30th minute executed a cornerkick from which Ibrahim Matthew tapped in the opener, before he buried two late goals in the 89th and 94th minutes.

It was Dakkada FC third NPFL loss this season but they looked to have started with the fire power of a strong home team creating and missing early chances before Nasarawa United took control of the game and tore them apart.

For a team that usually terrorised their hosts, most predictors had them as favourites, especially against Nasarawa United that have been woeful both home and away.

Dakkada FC found it difficult holding on to possession and it was evident from the first minute when they kicked off the match and lost possession to Nasarawa that went on a quick counter.

In the 9th minute, Femi Ajayi missed a one on one chance and a couple of minutes later, he set up Spencer Marcos but Danlami Umar saved the weak attempt from Spencer to save Nasarawa early blushes.

Then came the goal in the 30th minute, when Ibrahim Matthew scored the opener from Anas Yusuf freekick.

The Dakkada FC fans were still hopeful their team would still turn things around especially as they forced Danlami Umar into making numerous saves.

First half ended with the host trailing and they did not look totally in control at the restart.

With another Uyo-based team, Akwa United losing at home to Kwara United on Wednesday, the fans became anxious but not the supporters club that kept up the tempo of their cheering until the end of the match.

Compounding trouble for the Uyo-based team, Captain Aniekan Ekpe who came in as a substitute, wasted an opportunity to restore parity missing a penalty.

That penalty could have turned things around for Dakkada but however, it upset the team as Yusuf in the 89th minute caught the defenders napping and buried another chance after beating Victor Edafe in goal.

That followed with another of his strikes in added time when Dakkada went on a counter and left their defence open, Abubakar Lawal made a run and passed the ball to Yusuf who completed his brace to hand the visitors a 3-0 win against fifth placed Dakkada FC.

The victory lifted Nasarawa United from the 20th position to the seventeenth position with a game at hand against fellow relegation strugglers, Rangers.

Speaking after the match, Nasarawa United acting Manager, Abubakar Arikya, acknowledged the quality of Dakkada FC team, noting that it was a bad day in office for them.

“The team is not a bad side. They are good. It’s just that it is not their day today”.

For Dakkada FC coach, Caleb Esu who was stunned by the scoreline, he said his team may have been complacent against Nasarawa United, adding that the players did not do badly but were recovering from fatigue.

“Actually all I needed was the maximum three points and I instructed the players on how we should go about it. May be complacency may have set in. I have never played a game and conceded 3 goals. It has never happened in my history of football”.

Anas Yusuf who was voted man of the match, was one goal short of going home with the matchday ball.

Spanish La Liga club, Sevilla are very much eager to land the signature of Lille hit-man, Victor Osimhen before the winter transfer window slams shut on January 31, 2020, Completesports.com reports.
Osimhen has been in the form of his life since joining Lille from Sporting Charleroi of Belgium last summer, netting 14 goals and making four assists in 27 games overall.
And as a result, top European clubs reportedly want the Super Eagles striker this month with Liverpool ready to firm up their interest in him by making an approach
Other clubs reportedly interested in signing the 21-year-old are Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester United with Sevilla now deciding to enter the race.
Although the Andalusians signed Morrocan forward, Youssef En-Nesyri from Leganes on Thursday, they want to take advantage of the rest of the market to get a new striker.
And it is likely the club’s sports director, Monchi will go back to the French way. From Ligue 1, the pair of Osimhen and Senegalese, Habib Diallo are on Sevilla’s radar.
