I still root for Amunike And Finidi pair.

Both are home grown, played in our local league.

Both played under the highest point of our game, the US 94 team under Clemence Westerhof.

Both played under the tactical grandmaster, Louis Van Gaal (Finidi at Ajax and Amunike at Barcelona)

Both played in the Spanish league which is known for their appreciation of brilliant passing football.

Both got their coaching licence in Spain.

Enough of recycling old coaches and give the younger ones their chances. I say Amunike head and Finidi Assistant.

I'm tired of our exinternationals lazying around and waiting for the next job Nigeria have to offer them, they should go and look for job if not in Europe there are clubs in some African countries who will take them even our own NPFL, we don't owe them anything they should go and look for job and have a good CV

Why ❓

Arabiandude:

Base on stats or what?

amunike is not a good candidate for the job
I'll prefer Yusuf sacked and be replaced by finidi

World Cup 2010: Germany Coach Joachim Loew Reveals That Attacking Play Is The Only Way To Success

---

Germany World Cup 2010 head coach Joachim Low has revealed the blueprint for the exciting attacking play which has his side on the cusp of success.

“The plans for how we wanted to play at the World Cup have been thought over long and hard since the draw on December 4," Loew revealed.

"Our analysis was quite clear: we could only win the World Cup by playing attacking football and making life difficult for other teams.

"The way that Italy won the title in 2006, by defending and winning by a single goal, is no longer possible – you don’t get anywhere playing like that nowadays. We planned the World Cup all the way to the final.”

I wonder where you got the idea of Joachim Loew being a defensive coach. Not his style and has never been his style.

Look at the last paragraph of his quote. You will see that the idea of just holding your cards to your chest and winning anyway possible is passing fast.

Look at the teams in recent years from National football, champions league to leagues across Europe. One thing is King, offensive/possessive play.

You can go through games and tourneys trying to win games but from the German side, to be great, you prepare for greatness.

Liverpool and Man City dominate because of preparation to dominate.

From Germany, Spain, to an extent France, you see sides built for attacking fluency.

Nigeria did not get to the height we did in US 94 and Atalanta 96 by defending and hoping on the gods to decorate us with good performance. We went toe-to-toe against some of the besr and caused them problems.

We need to change our orientation or get swept away by the tide of modern football.

TheGoodJoe:


Amunike is a fantastic candidate. I can bet even those in the upper Chambers of the NFF know because of his time in charge with the u17 and U20. Even though the U20 team did not qualify, they only lost one game in about 50 matches, both competitive and friendly. It was sad that the only game they lost (due to poor support from the NFF and awful pitch that hindered their game play) caused them the qualification.

We have not had a side well coached as that in a long time. Amunike showed dedication and passion to that team. Even at the U17 World Cup, there was praise in Amunike's invention which was new to the game by the FIFA technical Committee.

TheGoodJoe:


That is why I said EPL coaching rejects are the stars of the championship. Not that they are special or out of this World. However, in Spain, you find Spanish coaches battling it out for the top jobs. That is due to their coaching class and it filters down to the lower leagues.

I doubt the English championship coaches are of better class to the coaches in the lower leagues of Spain. The English coaches lack the tactical training and acumen to operate at that level. (I give Scott Parker an exemption.)

charlesemeka85:
Nigerians re obsessed with attacking football even if we dey play against Germany, Brazil or netherland of this world. Mostly pple wey dey cry for the team to play that way na lay men in the game like me who knows nada about football tactics

The same attacking brand siasia deployed in the 23 teams and super eagles where his team will score 6 and concede 5 in a game

elyte89:



Well,if not for d bribery stuff,salisu yussuf is d best to handle dis team,he is also sound and he has been in dis team for a very long time ,so he understand d team chemistry and atmosphere

the player a team has dictate the formation/tactics a team can use
with the pool of player Nigeria have Nigeria should be playing a possessive game with short play and a balanced/attacking formation ....I don't really fancy the idea of defending the ball for 90mins and the attackers doing nothing it doesn't sound good
Joachim pep and kloop plays an attack minded game and yet concede very few....Nigeria defense is very cool (considering how they hold brazil) and you've midfield that can hold the ball and a very sharp attack then why is rohr always afraid to try an attack minded formation or at least a balanced formation
moreover the idea of giving the ball to d oppenent and sit down to break is very primitive many coaches are already aware of this Nigeria should be playing a possessive game
Rohr really need to improve on this area

sheyishemba:


amunike is a good coach no doubt a very good tactician but he is not clean he has many corruption charges entagled against him

TheGoodJoe:


That is why I am so angry with the induction of Yobo into the coaching crew. What technical expertise is he bringing to the table to assist Rohr in this aspect. In sane climes, no FA should leapfrog Amunike and Finidi that will bring an offensive dimension to the team to land on Yobo. Now they are prepping Yobo for the coaching job.

Bunch of jokers.

TheGoodJoe:


Every coach has those kind of charges on them. Even Rohr. Finidi has not been in our scene, that is why people are jot putting allegations on his head.

I am interested in the coaching ability and what the coach has brought to the table in the past.

I say Amunike and Finidi pair after Rohr.

komekn:


He understands in depth politics of football and corruption.

Roy Hodgson, Frank Lampard, Brendan Rogers and Eddie Howe are not from England.

Scott Parker is not better than Chris Houghton and Darren Moore or even Sol Campbell.

Arabiandude:

Guardiola was playing attacking football at Barca and he was conceeding less than those playing DF.
Guardiola and Klop both plays AF at Man City and Liverpool and they both concede lesser goals compares to other English teams that plays DF.
Playing AF doesn't equates to conceding more if your tactics is good.

Play attacking football and keep the ball, your opponent won't even see the ball not to talk of scoring you

sheyishemba:


his corruption charges will always limit his coaching abilities
he collects bribe this will actually affect his player selections

5inchdick:

I agree with the bolded.
But who are these players in our "pool of players? We really hype our average players so much.

sheyishemba:


exactly the action of pinnick made me wonder if he is going to be the NFF coach for life
introduction of yobo is very stupid while finidi is waiting there and why the hell is kanu not even part of the technical crew
GEEZ the country is bleeped up

sheyishemba:


an attacking formation perfectly suit osihmen,Kalu chuks moses and iwobi we all know this players will.make exploit if they play an attacking formation
take for an instance the match against Ukraine and Lesotho where rohr played a balance formation not an attacking one sef ..see the way they all perform very well ...rohr is just dulling this players swears

I doubt if Kanu has done his coaching courses. I hope he does soon. I had high expectations for him along the coaching line. Working with the likes of Van Gaal and Wenger over the years.

TheGoodJoe:


Did you see him collect bribe?

Amunike's challenge was being involved in player transfer. He has links to the young boys he groomed. Like his link to Iheanacho.

Apart from that, he has fantastic resume and has the ability to deliver the goods in a brilliant way.

His selections over the years has been brilliant. Also, he is linked to some of our current talents having worked closely with them in the past. Like Iheanacho, Ndidi, Chukwueze and Osimhen. So a smooth integration of his tactical ideas.

TheGoodJoe:

You forgot Aribo, Aina, Ebuehi, and Etebo.

I almost fainted when Rohr was defending against South Africa. Like how?
