ANNOYED AS HELL....Rumors on the proposed hiring of Dutch Manager

Post by Enugu II »

Yesterday, I had an annoying conversation with an NFF official on the issue of hiring a manager for the SE. I will keep the name of the official anonymous but will discuss the kernel of the issue. My understanding is that pone of the managers that someone is pushing for is one Danny Buijs, the Dutch manager at Eredivisie club Fortuna Sittard.

Danny Buijs

First, I never heard of this guy until the conversation. I then went on wiki to learn a bit more. Well, he is on Wiki which means at least a few people know him. After all he is coaching in the Eredivisie. I give him that prop. But what exactly is his record? He has been coaching since 2016. But his record, to state the least, is unremarkable. At Groningen, he won 50 games but lost 60! As a footballer, he was unremarkable.

Now, compare him to Finidi George, think of George’s international career and then think of his club career. This Buijs’ guy is not even fit to clean Finidi’s shoe both as player and as manager. Finidi started his managerial career a bit later than Buijs but has won the league as Manager. What exactly has Buijs done as Manager? If this does not rile you, then I wonder what would.

Clearly, to me, some of these NFF guys are simply swept off their feet simply because someone is European but granted, we know that such thinking is widely present also on CE. It is also possible that a push for guys like Buijs is based on the under the table monetary benefits that occur, reportedly, from hiring of a foreign national as Manager.

What exactly does this guy have that the likes of Finidi, Amuneke, and others don’t? In my view if you want to hire a non-Nigerian it is okay, but it better be one that clearly is a difference masker. Buijs is not that guy.

I’m all out for Finidi unless we come up with a performing and experienced foreign coach.
Meanwhile I hate this ‘white’ coach narrative instead of ‘foreign’ coach
It’s so patronizing and deliberately framed that way by our Nigerian Freedom Fighters keen on showing they are proud black people. :roll:

But sentiments aside, can you publish the Managerial records of all three for comparison?
Playing careers have nothing to do with it.
Some of the top managers in the world had mediocre playing careers or non at all, while some of the world’s very best footballers spectacularly failed as managers.

So their managerial careers is what’s important and it would be nice to compare the records of Finidi, Amuneke and this guy who as u rightly said, nobody knows.

As you mentioned, the annoying thing is that this guy is a non achiever. I am stating as per his managerial career.! Compare to Finidi who won the League at Enyimba and we cannot even compare their playing career. You can simply Google the guy's career.

NFF hiring this guy or someone of his calber will be a travesty.

I am in support of Finidi to get this job because based on merit he won the last NPFL and he has been assistant coach if he can imbibe some of the good of Peseiro regime. The good was mainly in Afcon is compactness and defensive structure.

When your team is hard to score against, winning football matches becomes easier. What Finidi needs to succeed is to work on the midfield especially the attacking portion and continue to invite new players to sharpen the attach and defence. I am hoping he can incorporate one or two raw talent with that energy that eagles are lacking.

Also if i was NFF i would employ the Remo Stars coach to build a CHAN team with objective to win WAFU and CHAN. What stops the CHAN eagles from playing friendly matches against other CHAN teams?

The advantage the European coaches have is organization but they easily getting the support and respect fromt eh foreign pros.

I’m all for hiring a foreign coach but this one makes no sense. I’m sorry but some people at the NFF must be getting a cut from hiring these journey man foreign coaches. Finidi did let us down big time but I’ll rather give him a few more chances than hiring this underachiever. Now our resident black panthers that like to call people WOWO will act like they didn’t see my post denouncing hiring this Dutch coach.

Enugu, but he coached and coaches one of the lower teams in holland, the fact that he has 50 wins , 28 draws and 60 loses isn't a bad result for coaching Groningen. His current team Fortuna are 10th in the Eredivisie
Coaching career
On 1 June 2022, Buijs was hired by Belgian club Mechelen.[9] On 17 October 2022 he was sacked and replaced by assistant Steven Defour. [10]

He is a good option, because, he would not quit his job. He will manage SE, the same Randy manages the SF. So, it's win, win.

Let the slaves hire their next Master. Also follow the money. They must get kickbacks from the hiring of foreign coaches. No wonder they always want to pay them so much more.
I have decided if they appoint a foreign coach, I will NOT support the team.

Stori. If true, why the effort to revive the career of journeymen coaches? It appears that is the unspoken criteria for selection. The candidate, and the NFF have to share that understanding for all following things to fall in place. In the entire Europe, why hasn't he be given better opportunity than where he is? It has to be the SuperEagles he will be offered an internship?

But sentiments aside, can you publish the Managerial records of all three for comparison?
Playing careers have nothing to do with it.
Some of the top managers in the world had mediocre playing careers or non at all, while some of the world’s very best footballers spectacularly failed as managers.

So their managerial careers is what’s important and it would be nice to compare the records of Finidi, Amuneke and this guy who as u rightly said, nobody knows.
Until the day Nigerian coaches can get the same level of access to European managers, judging merely by teams coached is wrong. And while it may annoy you, it doesn't change the fact that there is a white coach boas in Nigeria (and a few other African countries).

On the Fortuna Sittard coach, by all means he should be considered but if I were on the panel I would want to understand what he knows about African football. He might not be such a bad choice as I've just read that he likes to play intense, fast paced football. He is also young and hungry.

As long as his teams play good, free-flowing attacking football, then I'm ok with it.

He will have better players to work with in the SE than the Eredivisie. His philosophy is all I care about. After all, Alonso did nothing until he got a chance with good players at Leverkusen.

Nonsense post. I will take him over Finidi any day of the week. At least he won't leave a Bundesliga champion on the bench and invite bums playing in Tanzania.

Name him or delete this. This is hearsay.

Enugu II wrote: Sun Apr 14, 2024 12:50 pm Yesterday, I had an annoying conversation with an NFF official on the issue of hiring a manager for the SE. I will keep the name of the official anonymous but will discuss the kernel of the issue. My understanding is that pone of the managers that someone is pushing for is one Danny Buijs, the Dutch manager at Eredivisie club Fortuna Sittard.
Image
Danny Buijs

First, I never heard of this guy until the conversation. I then went on wiki to learn a bit more. Well, he is on Wiki which means at least a few people know him. After all he is coaching in the Eredivisie. I give him that prop. But what exactly is his record? He has been coaching since 2016. But his record, to state the least, is unremarkable. At Groningen, he won 50 games but lost 60! As a footballer, he was unremarkable.

Now, compare him to Finidi George, think of George’s international career and then think of his club career. This Buijs’ guy is not even fit to clean Finidi’s shoe both as player and as manager. Finidi started his managerial career a bit later than Buijs but has won the league as Manager. What exactly has Buijs done as Manager? If this does not rile you, then I wonder what would.

Clearly, to me, some of these NFF guys are simply swept off their feet simply because someone is European but granted, we know that such thinking is widely present also on CE. It is also possible that a push for guys like Buijs is based on the under the table monetary benefits that occur, reportedly, from hiring of a foreign national as Manager.

What exactly does this guy have that the likes of Finidi, Amuneke, and others don’t? In my view if you want to hire a non-Nigerian it is okay, but it better be one that clearly is a difference masker. Buijs is not that guy.
The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not be in want.
