There are reports that Peseiro might be gone

Interesting but nothing shocks me in Naija football.

Why does Amunike's name keep getting mentioned as a SE coach? He has not demonstrated that he is a good coach. I would rather Finidi and Bosso.

So you don’t want Yobo?

[Lolly]

They want to save money.

But Peseiro looks out of his depth.

Finidi!

Finidi!

We cannot have two chiefs. Pick one of Finidi or Bosso and let him pick his assistants.
Give the one, a term contract and 'stay away from the kitchen'.

Absolutely
Whether Finidi and Amuneke, Finidi and Bosso, or Amuneke and Bosso, it kind of suggests the lack of belief in one individual coach taking charge.

Been saying this for ever.

As they say...

Finidi has proven to be "safe". He endured being part of the backroom staff without a contract or payment. His patience, tolerance, and infinite understanding of the system makes him more manageable. He won't ask for AJAX stadium level of grass quality/cut. He is a son of the soil. He coached a local club. Familiar with the local environment. Local scouting should not be an issue.

Finally more energy being spent discussing potential replacements rather than the "just fire him" juvenile brigade we've had here in the past. Shortly before the ANC might not be a great idea, but if the replacement coach is currently embedded in the team then it could be a smoother transition. All this is a pipe dream until NFF confirms Paso is actually gone though. I think it's okay if they let him handle the ANC. A more prolonged camp like that will give him a chance to redeem himself or confirm what most already think of him.

Finidi has approached his coaching career the right way. He obtained his coaching license and came home to hone his skills unlike some of his peers that came with the attitude that the SE coaching position is theirs because they played for the national team.

I think the most important attribute he will bring is that the Superstars in the team will respect him because he has done it all. He had a stellar club career and represented Nigeria at the highest level.

My only concern is that I didn't see Enyimba play "fantastic" football under him. Granted i only saw a couple of their games. This is why I think he is going to need someone like Bosso on his team if he is to be successful immediately. And Nigerians want immediate success. Even some here who have been waiting on miracles for 30 years to change their lives from living paycheck to paycheck want instant success from everyone else.

If they are going to fire him , let him go now. The World cup qualifiers are starting in the fall on 2023

Even Amunike himself detest having too many head coaches in a coaching staff. He complained about it after the WCQ.

They want to force coaches with different coaching philosophies to work together. So, if Bosso is big on building from the midfield and Amunike can care less about midfield like so many of our past coacheE, you tell me how that’s going to work?

[packerland]

I said it after the SL game to fire Peseiro immediately after the match or give him a contract that will last from AFCON all the way to WCQ.

These guys in the NFF are idiots but they know what they are doing. The put out false information to the press that the coach have been extended, now when they fire him they will say the result of the poll came out and the public didn’t want him.

[1naija]

Uncle, were you going to pay for the breach of contract if the NFF had listened to you then and fired him?

This is the time to make the change. We need to fix the defense and midfield,

[ohenhen1]

Let see what ex Alcon winner, Champions league winner can do. Give Finidi the job.

[packerland]

Uncle there is a way around it. You send him home like they do in the NBA and you put someone else in charge or you fire him and hope the court of arbitration will tell you to pay him his June salary or do a buyout. What we can’t do is dilly dallying for months on whether we want to keep him or hire another coach (foreign or local).

Personally i feel Finidi is the right man to take over the team, everything just ticks the boxes and aligns perfectly for him

He has worked with Peseiro and is already part of the team system

He just won the league with Enyimba and should be familiar with the local scene to scout for players

Finidi, Bosso and Amunike are our most prepared local coaches right now, all have been busy. Give any of them the NT job and provide all the support they need immediately

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

When will we ever learn that changing a coach a few months before a major tournament is a recipe for disaster? It has never worked out well for us, ever. Finidi is a sexy choice but he doesn’t have the time to grow a new team for Afcon, 3 games and a camp is all he likely has, not enough time to beat the very stable teams that are in contention for Afcon. Worst yet, if he fails we’ll then have to find another coach for the wcq that begins just months after Afcon.

Pesseiro has won 4 of 6 competitive games, Finidi is an assistant already. The best move is to keep the status quo and pay them on time. It’s only in Nigeria that an unpaid coach is replaced by an unpaid assistant. This is bonkers. You people wanted Rohr out 30 days before the last Afcon, h was replaced and it cost us the WC ticket.

BE WARNED! FIRING PESSEIRO WILL LIKELY COST US TO DROP EARLY POINTS IN THE WCQ .

[mcal]

...make we continue to shoot ourselves in the collective foot.
Na we go dey limp for every qualifying match and minnows go dey embarrass us.

[ohenhen1]

Nigeria cant win Afcon with Peseiro. So might as well make the change now to give the new coach to rebuild the team.

[ohenhen1]

Our defense and midfield need major help. I dont think Pesiero is the right coach for Nigeria.
