Local Eagles reject Amodu

ABUJA — Amidst doubt that the redeployed Eagles’ technical crew would shun their new posting, the team’s chief coach, Shaibu Amodu, and his technical assistants have reported at the Nigeria Football Federation secretariat to indicate interest in their new assignment just as some of the players were disgusted over the presence of their new head coach.

Amodu was, however, whispered to join the team later but all his technical assistants that included Daniel Amokachi, Alloy Agu and Fatai Amao were at the NFF secretariat where they went to collect their training kits ahead March 3 first assignment against Niger Republic in Niamey.

Prior to his resumption, the NFF had directed that Amodu should resume with the home-based Eagles as he and his assistants were still in its pay-roll.

Remarkably, some of the players were disgusted that Amodu that snubbed them during the Eagles’ World Cup qualifiers and who repeatedly said local players were not good has now been drafted to take over their technical and tactical sharpness. They have no confidence in him.

The players that raised eyebrow over the alleged not-too befitting accommodation reserved for them in their preparation for their encounter against Niger Republic, have been relocated elsewhere in Life Camp with their handlers.

It would be recalled that Amodu had exclusively told Sports Vanguard in December that he would be silly to invite home-based players to the 27th Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.

He said this as he was finalising preparations for the tournament. It was a damning verdict on the home-based players, who he is now mandated to coach.

Hope this message is cleat to Amodu.  KICK ROCKS!

Unserious players. They had better learn to respect authority. Is it any wonder that they fail to go to Europe. How can they after being given the chance to represent their country, be trying to challenge the authority of the coach before even kicking a ball.

Amodu has hit rock bottom!

Amodu own don finish be that

see this jokers, this a a chance for most of them to earn good salary with bonus
considering they havent been paid for months in their clubs!!

Amodu still has more links to the nation team than their club coach!!

So Amodu finally took the local job?
If were him I would apply for coaching jobs
outside the shores of nigeria,afterall is he not a world class coach
