Re: OFFICIAL & BREAKING: NFF Finally Announces Finidi as Eagles Manager......

See absolute nonsense. Both Peseiro and Rohr LOST HOME GAMES, yet still qualified the team from the group stages of world cup and nations cup respectively. (CAR and Guinea Bissau) Rohr also lost 3 points on a technicality IN A GROUP OF DEATH, and still qualified us. (Algeria) This was all done in 4...

Re: OFFICIAL & BREAKING: NFF Finally Announces Finidi as Eagles Manager......

Anyway, on a positive note. Finidi was 100% a better decision than bringing Peseiro back. Why ? I dont see any positive, other than sentiments and saving money. Once a coach has moved on, they've emotionally moved on from the job. It's never a good idea to go back in such situations. Always best to...

Re: Sports Minister In Talks With Peseiro Over Super Eagles Return

Never a good idea to bring a coach back who is no longer interested in the team. At this point, I would prefer Amunike over Peseiro. BTW, his name changed again??? Amunike > Amuneke > Amunike. I always remembered the dude as Amunike. But a few years back, when he was coach of Tanzania, it became Amu...

Re: It is April 7th, the NFF still have not named a coach for the SE

Nff is in serious financial trouble, they owe way more than the $5m they received for Afcon, even 10B that was supposed to be paid by the govt is yet to be remitted to the nff. Players and coaches are still owed for 23 games dating back to 2021 , means they still owe Rohr and his assistants too. As...
