They should have gone for an experienced coach.

I came here to say what I said the first time I heard this very news.

I saw it coming. What sort of embarrassing result was that against Plateau? For a team of Enyimba's magnitude.

I started supporting Enyimba in the days of Enyeama, Muri Ogunbiyi, Joetex Frimpong, etc, and I have seen them in their best days. Remember them pulling off an upset against a formidable and ferocious Ismaily side right inside Port Said?
What we have these days is hardly the real Enyimba. Something is definitely amiss here.

The mere fact that this team can hardly hold its own against some minnows on the continental scene says a whole lot. Maybe they shouldn't stop at just sacking the TA. The guys at the club hierarchy should also take a good look at themselves.

This team should be rubbing shoulders with the likes of TP Mazembe, Raja, Ahly, Esperance- all elite teams of the continental club stage and not struggling with über-minnows like San Pedro.
We are talking about a two-time CAF Champions League winner here. Not just any other random Nigerian clubside.

How they are even doing business in the CAF Confederation Cup still worries me. Given the right management, I know they will go places.

For now, I just can't deal.
