Let's not kid ourselves, our coaches bar maybe Oliseh and Siasia are not ready and the main reason is the sports ministry and the NFF do nothing to help this coaches.

When last did they organise clinics for them? When last were they sent on refresher courses abroad or placements at other clubs so they can learn one or two things?

How many of them have UEFA band A licenses? Let's not be sentimental about our coaches, they are simply not good enough.

Good a thing people like Di Matteo and David Moyes are currently available. They are good enough for us and can lead us to glory if we finally will allow coaches stay on the job for say 4-6 years and let them build their own teams without interference.

People will argue why the choice of Di Matteo and David Moyes. To that I say their records speak for them.

Di Matteo did a good job with West Brom with players that are a little better or simply at par with our players. He went to Chelsea a team that puts the coaches under undue pressure and took a declining team to the pinnacle of European football ( yes, he won playing football that I can't be proud of and as much as I hate Chelsea, I must say it, they achieved what my darling Arsenal hasn't been able to achieve in over 25 years of trying and it is kudos to Di Matteo).

David Moyes managed Everton above their level for many years and even qualified for the champions league. The players he had to use to achieve what he achieved with Everton are at par to what will be available for him with the eagles.

Forget what happened to him at United he had an impossible job. Many United fans will not agree but I think Moyes was deliberately used so to relieve the pressure on whoever takes over. Moyes will have Sir Alex as his yard stick ( failure for sure) and now that Moyes is sacked, Van Gaal is practically under no pressure as Sir Alex isn't his yard stick but instead Moyes.

Dennis Bergkamp is also available so also is Steve Clarke, Steve Bruce can also be convinced.

All these coaches play our type of football and they have a record of getting the best out of a tad average players.

Laurent Blanc is also available.

We should get foreign players and see if we no go win world cup under keshi. NFF thinks it all about the coach... Poor thinking. How many Nigerian players are world class? This thing is not magic.

will you just shut up,see your head

repogirl:
Hmmmmm, but why shuaibu amodu, isn't he the one who couldn't get eagles to qualify for world cup finals, one time like that? How they forget so easily!

Problems with Nigerian Football Federation
1. They want quick result.
2. They don't believe football is all about, 'you win some, you loose some'.
3. The coach must not drop their favorite player even if he disrespects him.
4. They must be part of your match line up selection.
5. They are never contented with what they have

Well, they once said, 'Siasia is stubborn' but remember that with that stubbornness, he got us result and when they couldn't just manipulate him, they sacked him.

Keshi came when Nigeria's football was almost dead and forgotten, they still said same thing- 'Keshi is stubborn'. He gave a deaf ear, made his own selection to nation's cup and gave us good result. He was almost nailed to the cross during the world cup (including those who claimed world cup wasn't for boys) and decided to listen to the 'OGAS AT THE TOP'. Well, we saw the outcome. Now he wants to do his stuff his own way but they are saying it again- 'Keshi is stubborn'. Hence, He's sacked.

I didn't expect less from the NFF anyway and I hope their next coach remains permanent because whether foreign or local coach, once you're branded "stubborn", you won't last! The USA '94 coach, Westerhoff (correct my spelling please) can attest to this.
I wish them luck!

MrRhymes101:

jobsat34:


which capable and disengaged coach that is available at the moment... the best option is to go for amodu on interim bases, while they sort out for a better option.. i think what eagles conspicuously needed is a technical adviser (which keshi arrogantly refuse the need for one)

Rikidony:
WTF A GOOD MOVE BY SACKING KESHI BUT WTF IS AMODU SHUAIBU

Goke7:
Am so surprised and am laughing with all the comments am seeing here on this forum, so many here talking like children, I have said it before here that nff had no replacement for keshi and that is why it took them so long to sack keshi. I also said it here that we were gong back to the likes of siasia, amodu, chukwu e.tc.

can't u guys see that nff has no plan for nigerian football?

Nigerians eku new coach o, i still de wait una if the new coaches no deliver and congrats to Garba lawal the new team coordinator, the guy campaign no be small o, what an achievement especially in the way he was bashing keshi then, hope he will be ready when his time comes too. I hear say ikpeba sef de one committee, at least im blood pressure go low now, keshi don comot abi.

Nigerians deceiving ourselves since 1960

Like someone said this morning if keshi won afcon, what will the so called expatriate coach nff will employ later win for Nigeria?

Tycike:
Amodu is even worse. ...

NoContract:
Nigerians and their weird obsession with football.

And na dem go dey carry flag about what is cultural and what is western.

Shey na africa invent football?

Stupid hypocrites.

Always channeling their exuberance to useless and nonsense issues like soccer and religion.

Healthcare dey there, no motivation.

Education dey there, no motivation.

Ask an average Nigerian boy What is a cell? and he go dey count finger.

Ask him to name the full Chelsea FC squad and his face will brighten up.

Emmysteve:
They are now going for a foreign coach. After the foreign coach, back to Siasia. Just heard from the NFF president.

Temptee101:
Why do u wish to be in such an exalted office when you dont have an atom of respect for the same office. Next time address the office of the president of the fed. Republic of Nigeria with respect and sense of belonging

ElFenomeno1:


It has'nt not havent....... OLODO!

hayzed2:
Thank God they make a good move this time around... I love their gesture for not sacking him b4 yesterday match, so the new coach have no excuse for failure.... Now the NFF are working with intelligent heads as Maigari will say, so if (Amodu) the interim coach cannot get us the wins required, he will be sacked as usual Thank God he is used to the sack letter....... #supereagles carry go

dabossman:


What is a technical adviser? Get a coach/manager and let him choose his back room staff. The NFF wanted to employ a technical adviser for Keshi so that he could help to spy on opponents and analyse their pattern of play and I'm like seriously; we don't have that already? NFF have a technical committee which has ex-internationals in it. What is their job, if not scouting, spying and supplying technical input for all our national teams.

anybody knows what this dude is talking about do u watch soccer or rugby?
