The Nigerian team is suffering today due to the mismanagement of our football by the nff. It is not about foreign or local coach, but about proper coordination and effective running of the glasshouse by visionary and disciplined leaders Nigeria has abounds with talents. From maracana in ajegunle to amino in kano, from ude playground in enugu to the street of delta, guys dey knack nkwa. I always advocate that Nigerian football should take a 3 years break in order to really put our fallen house in order |

Foreign coaches are just here for the payday, they offer nothing better than their African counterparts. If they are so good they should be in the top leagues in Europe, hence they are interested in Africa just for the money. How many European countries have African coaches? Infact, how many European leagues have African coaches? By the time we don't even recognise our own indigenous coaches then how will they improve and become a global force? 1 Like |
