You jumped without past record examination and or peer assessment to the conclusion that Yobo is INEPT, don't you think that's a bit rash

Kindly help me with Yobo managerial success or at least experience.

He won first ever AFCON Trophy for Zambia in 2012, won COSAFA Cup for them also in 2013, won AFCON trophy for Ivory Coast in 2015.

If he's not tactically sound, definitely our honorable Daniel is.

There is no need attacking Danielnino00 attack the point too. I too share the same sentiments. I am not thrilled by Renard's playing pattern too.

So Bielsa is out of the discussion.

I have always made my point and understanding of the game clear. I will give you an instant.

I stopped supporting Manchester United in 2010. At that time, they have played the Champions League finals with Chelsea and won. Played the Champions League finals with Barcelona and lost. They had won the English Premier League and on top of the table.

Despite the trophy success, I was not satisfied with the direction of the club and I stopped supporting them for a growing Manchester City.

I supported City because I believed in the direction of the club. One was signing Roberto Mancini. I knew in the near future, there would be drastic successful changes.

So I have never been a fan of immediate success.

I became a huge fan of Spain after Nigeria defeated them at France 98. Even though they lost, I was thrilled by their passing game and believed in the near future they would succeed.

With Aragones in the head of affairs, he put together a young Spanish team and I had one of my biggest heartbreaks in international football. When Zidane inspired France with some mind-blowing displays to eliminate Spain. I slept off at the spot where I watched that game because I believed in their playing pattern.

In the future, there was a turnaround that led to total success in Spain in both national and club football.

What I am pointing out is that short-term wins don't thrill me. I want to see a long term plan being followed because I believe in the future, that will lead to a load of successful winnings.

I want decades of success. Not some short wins.

Remember my famous statement that I prefer Iheanacho not going to the AFCON and staying back to go through drills under Rodgers?

That is how I see football. The AFCON was a short-term goal. Staying back and improving his tactical depth and play was more important. That would lead to long-term success.

That was why when people were happy with Rhor for qualifying, I was vocal about his conservative pattern of play. I hammered repeatedly that it will lead to stagnancy in our growth.

So the World Cup Quarterfinal will not thrill me if we are playing dross football. Because, in the near future, we would be mediocre.

Quality play remains King because it leads to the development of the team.

@TheGoodJoe..... I respect your understanding of the Game and what you like in the Game.

Not Everyone is a Fan of tiki taka or ghen ghen football. Till today, Mourinho would always be a special one to some set of Fans, coz he always delivers.

Mou's play pattern is conservative but he guarantees success. Remember he took Spurs to League Cup Final? Thus his Stint at the Club is not entirely a Failure.

Once again, I respect your understanding of the Game, but to me Trophy would always come first.

Why did he fail when he returnee to the Ligue1..

Jokes apart it's ok to clamor for Amuneke but the hype is too much as if it's not the same man we have been observing for this past few years.

The one that even makes me laugh is how they hype his achievement at under 17 level saying how FIFA conducted ph.d thesis about his tactics forgetting that football at u17 level is a far far cry from senior professional football

You ain't petty rather so mature..... LMFAO. Where in my Post did I specifically say, Renard gonna bring out best from Onuachu?

Where in my Post did I mock Bielsa. Stating facts is mockery to our darling Professor of Football?!

By the way, what's your Definition of Failure? How did Renard fail with Morocco?! Last time Morocco made it to the World Cup was in 1998, thanks to Renard they made it to Russia in 2018 - 20yrs Gap.

On Record he topped the Group in AFCON 2019 with same Morocco. You wanna know rest National Teams in the Group? Ivory Coast, South Africa and Namibia. He won all the Group Stage Matches.

Nigeria had Madagascar, Burundi and Guinea in the Group yet we came second. Morocco lost to Benin in the Knock-out Stage via PKs, guess what Renard did? He resigned honorably, he wasn't sacked.

Saudi Arabia are almost certain to qualify for Qatar 2022. Japan and Australia are in the same Group with Saudi Arabia, perhaps I need to tell you as well.

Mourinho is defensive minded not conservative... Mou can get his team to play tantalizing attacking football when he can ..He just tend to switch on the defensive aspect quite often.. Conservative football is when you restrict your team from play to their strength because you are scared of losing...it also extends to players selection...

Conte,Tuchel, Mou and Simeone are examples of defensive coaches...
Rohr and Claude Le Puel are examples of conservative coaches grin

Brendan Rodgers is an example of a coach that plays attacking football with reckless abandon grin

Biesla and Klopp are example of coaches that high pressing football.
Pep plays possessive football..

Amuneke can't be classed as a Rookie Coach. He has managed Clubs in Nigeria before he took charge of U17 National Team.

Your premise, comparing his Situation with Pep and Zizou, was wrong from onset but I responded to your Query cos you're an intelligent and a respected Fellow here.

Amuneke first senior managerial job was with Julius Berger of Lagos 2008 - 09. Later he coached Ocean Boys of Porthacourt from 2009 - 11.

What did he achieve with both Clubs? Both Pep and Zizou moved up the Ladder from Academies of their Clubs and rest is HISTORY.

Everyone is pointing at his success with U17. Guess we forget late Tella, Manu Garba also won us same Competition before him?

He qualified Tanzania for AFCON (not their first ever), but what did he achieve with them at the Tournament?

After Tanzania Job, he managed a Club in Egypt and was dismissed (sacked) for poor performance of the Team. Prior to Tanzania Job, he also managed a Sudanese Club and was fired.

Let's critique his CV objectively and stop building his Reputation and tactical know-how on his U17 success. Cos the Competition is for Boys not Men.
Great points. But on a side note. What happened to Rohr? Was it not this same Rohr that qualified us out of the group of death during the WCQ for Russia 2018 with one game to spare? Look at how we annihilated Algeria, outclassed Cameroun and silenced Zambia. And we played good. What happened to this man?

This! Egbon I'm always also curious why these geniuses are unemployed for so long when we start clamoring for them to take over. I mean if Nigerian authorities are blind and can't see their worth other countries at least in Africa should be scrambling to have their signature?

At least when we hired Keshi he was coming off the back of 2 decent national team jobs in Togo and Mali.

Kog45:
Sincerely Amuneke record as a coach damn too poor to handle eagles but talking about his tactical awareness which am not really sure of cos I can only rate him with underage team.

I remember Keshi coached Mali and qualified Togo to first ever WC before gotten Nigeria job and he did well.

My major question why is Amuneke jobless all this while...why our ex internationals always waiting for national team jobs though Amuneke started well initially by getting Tanzania job,coached in Sudan and Egypt but damn too poor of him staying out of the job for so long...why not manage any NPFL team just like what Finidi is doing presently with Enyimba.

No matter how we criticized Keshi,I still respect him for going out there to prove himself before taking Nigeria job....our local coaches should try and make something outside.I remember Amodu in South Africa,Onigbinde had a stint with Trinidad and Tobago as a technical adviser to all their football matter,Ndubuisi Egbo did well too,Mike Obiku is doing something with Feyenood youth team,Seyi Olofinjana with Wolves youth team.

It could have been credible if Emma Amuneke is handling a team even in NPFL presently.

I want more from a coach than just coaching. The philosophical part is important. The foundation for future teams.

I want a coach that will hold training sessions for academy coaches during breaks. I want a coach that will not just coach the team but the CHAN team and even be part of synergy with the junior teams.

Most foreign coaches won't offer it.

Amunike on his own is already training young local coaches free of charge.

It shows his passion for the growth of grassroots football.
Thegoodjoe don't mind some people opposing u,

I personally believe that ur philosophies about the game is d best possible option that can truly take us very far in this modern era.

there r no shortcuts to success,
if ur theories can be succefully implemented practically,
we can b sure of quality of football we all r clamouring for.
And world cup semis will also b achievable.

But the problem lies in getting d right people to do the job

I am not supporting Rohr, I want him gone as well. My only fear is avoiding frying Pan to Fire. Imama was the Reason we couldn't make it to Olympic. He's a local Coach, one of the best, but failed woefully with National Teams.

He was Rohr's Assistant for sometimes, what did he add to the Team tactically?! NFF had to fire and replace him with Yobo.

Yobo with no managerial experience replaces Imama and here we are eating Rohr raw. Yobo's ineptitude facilitates return of Salisu to the coaching Crew after his Suspension.

Honestly before we barbecue Rohr we need to cremate Pinnick first. That Dude is only using NFF to achieving his personal Goals.
Wahala dey. We can't hire local coaches cos they are 'local' in that Nigerian way cos they are Nigerians and we know how we are. We can't hire foreign coaches cos too many of them mediocres milling over Africa using only their skin to peacock around and we don't have the finance for quality foreign coaches. So we are stuck.

I won't mind Samson Siasia to be Frank. Unlike Amuneke, he successfully managed both U20 and U23 National Teams.

He was just unlucky with his rescue mission for the Super Eagles.

Before then sef he started buckling down. It started during the friendlies for the WC 2018. Me I always stress this issue of faith and confidence because it directly affects how a coach sets up his team. I recall that Rohr never was pessimistic about our hopes of qualifying for the WC. We were an attacking team. It was when we qualified for the WC Rohr started talking negative. We thought it was mind games. I think he felt we were not good enough for the world stage. So he retreated and having retreated, he could not get himself out again and since then things have steadily gone downhill. As his confidence plummeted, so did our game become jaguda football.
