This Inter team put 4 goals past Napoli this season.
Beat Liverpool at Anfield
Put three past an unbeaten AC Milan last game
Beat Juventus twice

Roma finished 7th last season, while Inter are defending champions, so I don't understand what you're driving at.

JohnBullMySon:
It's not about racism. Many blacks still do come from poor homes sadly. And it can be more difficult to succeed without the funds.

Also Whites heavily outnumber blacks both in the US and UK. So the probability of seeing black people is much less.

As for Africans, we may not be there to the lack of opportunities in the continent, not because of skin color.m

As for kolo toure, there are far more white players who at his level, who haven't secured a top job too.

And oliseh character fished him out

U see the mindset you've got

But how come blacks are not limited in medicine, sciences,law,engineering abroad

A whiteman is good at what he does compare to we africans even the system here does not encourage excellence

U need to stop looking for excuse for some of this mediocre and corrupt coaches

TheGoodJoe:


I an driving at Inzaghi beat Mourinho like thief three times this season. Pure vawulence.

TFLASHOGEE:
I was about telling him to go to Lagos-ibadan express road na their you dey drive go before getting to ore he will see a Sharp turning by the left, na there Dem dey keep people like Mourinho wey Dem beat like thief wey steal village Head only goat

Pure Target man. Ighalo-esque.

How can you blame the striker for a team throwing away a two-goal lead?

This is football, not Rugby. We have attackers and defenders.

komekn:


When Lukaku plays we often see that the defence starts from the front.

You should know that.

kingphilip:

Is it that the striker is supposed to not allow the three goals enter the net or what?

You heard they conceded three goals in ten minutes and you're asking about the striker not even the defenders or the goalkeeper.

. I doubt u watched that game.

humility33:


Egbon it is good we say it the way it is

We cant be shielding tribalistic, sectional and corrupt folks and expect our football to make progress.

One thing i know about the white man is that if you're good you'll be given an opportunity to prove your mantle couple with needed materials and assistance

Of all the nigeria coaches u mentioned that worked outside Nigeria only Keshi,amodu, seyi, the ex albanian team coach achieves success the rest flopped only to come back hover around the supereagles job as if it is their birth right

Our indigenous coaches large chunk of them arw mediocre and corrupt we need to constantly tell ourselves the truth. Same thing is happening to our referees. U can't be deprived if you're truly good

Patrick Vieira is doing so well, same with some black coaches around the world even the current Alahy Of Egypt coach is from South Africa doing well. Our own brother that coached in Egypt the last time what did he achieve?
A failure will always look for an excuse why he failed or Sunday Oliseh that his bad character finds him out Or Emenalo why didn't the racism stopped him and he was sacked by Monaco because he fail to replicate samesuccess he achieved with Chelsea...

Haven't u ask yourself that why is that nigerians or Africans or even blacks are not prevented from becoming the best in medicine, sciences, engineering,law,sports then why the racism card is been used to defend obscure coaches from Africa or u wanna mention how Thierry Henry flopped or we should we blame racism too??

This men are not good enough and corruption too limits them

TheGoodJoe:


Conceding happens at the end of the defense, not the starting.

komekn:


Somebody said that Napoli is a dead team.

I said tongue in cheek who is their striker, implying is he excluded from the dead team or is he not part of it .

In the modern pressing game defence starts by from the front.

You clearly have not lived in a white dominated society in Europe or North America. You lack knowledge.

Institutional and endemic racism is alive and well, it pervades all areas of society.

In 2003 the NFL introduced the Rooney rule that required all NFL teams to interview for head and senior coach a black and or minority ethnic candidate.

70% of all the players in the NFL are black and yet there is only one black head coach.

How many black managers are in the English league system. How many black players.

Children of West African origin have s higher % achievements rate than White English upper class children at university. They have higher % of first class degrees. When the assessment is objective we win when it becomes subjective we are subjected to blatant relentless RACIAL DISCRIMINATION.

As those high achievers leave university they don't get your top end jobs but the bottom end. There are no exceptions but in general this is how things go.

The racism card shouldn't always be out go to response to every challenge that concerns black people. It's beginning to leave a very bad taste.

Of course racism does exist, but most of what is referred to as "institutional racism" in the west is common practice in our climes just different expression. But for a few states, if you are not an indigene in most states you can't get an appointment there, same thing applies to government jobs. This isn't peculiar to Nigeria, you see that cut across every African state.

The west like you rightly noted is dominantly white, it only makes sense that most systems and institutions will reflect that. While we should continual strive to be included, we can't pretend we do not have a bigger systemic challenge back home.

If having 70% of players in the NFL isn't discriminatory to other races, how is having fewer black Coaches racism.

@Your last paragraph...

There are a lot of black English players past and present who have played in the premier league... How come we have seen only two black coaches in the leagues in years?
How come there are no black referees?

I don't think it's a question of capability...

Subzero47:


Even if the goals conceded were defensive errors?

There is no limitations in other fields because of availability of jobs. You can not tell me Steve Cooper was more qualified for Swansea than Kolo Toure.

Men what about VAR in the EPL. How come it is too hard for blacks if not racism.

yinkeys:

There are limitations everywhere
You guys don’t understand office politics exists everywhere
It’s extremely hard to find black vice chancellors in mainly white or mixed universities abroad even if the man would be qualified.
It becomes political once you get to senior management positions.
Same with top banks abroad, extremely hard to find qualified blacks appointed as CEO in multinational companies.

This has nothing to do with productivity but politics.
Haven’t you heard of a Nigerian doctor that operated on a foetus while still in the mother’s womb or a few Nigerians working with NASA.
Whether you like it or not humans are inherently political.
It’s most not solely based on merit.
I have high school acquaintances with first class degrees who barely had stains of B in their WAEC(virtually more than 6 A’s) working in Microsoft, Oracle etc. in USA. They are extremely productive but they also know that there are certain positions they won’t be able to attain because of politics; solely on the basis of their skin tone

In conclusion, Patrick Viera & Kolo Toure are opening doors for qualified coaches of African descent

Just recently, there was a protest in a federal university in Oyo state. Surprisingly the VC is from the state, the protest was cause he isn't from a particular part of the state.

Can we just stop being hypocritical? Can we stop throwing the racism card at everything especially when we have a semblance of it at home? England has a 3.5% black population, the other part of UK has less than 1% yet it's widely said that you rarely go to a UK hospital and not find a black medical practitioner. If we achieved all this by merit can we just assume we probably don't have a black football coach who can compete at the highest level yet. What exactly have black coaches achieved with African football? Don't we still clamour for foreign coaches? No black nation has gotten to the semi final of the world cup yet, and the highest we've achieved at the world cup as being when a foreign coach was in charge.

Of course I know racism exist, would be insane to deny that, but it's rather hypocritical to scream racism at people who are doing the most to be inclusive. An average Nigerian has a better chance at success in the "racist" UK than he does in his homeland. Can we just look inwards and not throw the race card every chance we get.

Most sport franchise are private entities. Capitalist tendencies trumps personal preferences at the end of the day. It's the reason we have more black players on the NFL and the NBA, they are simply better. While we may have few experiences of racism to make reference to, most employers will hire a competent black coach of they find one. It's all about the money at the end of the day.

BTW, if Kolo Toure is more qualified, he has 52 African countries to prove it with.

drDoom3:


I object. He is much more involved in build up and creating chances than your average target man. Gave some delicious through passes to Deulofeu and others today.
