EXCLUSIVE: Finidi out of race for new Super Eagles coach

[Damunk]

So a poor audition according to the slaves means not ready. Ok I hear.

So one needs a uefa pro license to manage an African team. Ok I hear.

Why can't these slaves tell us that they are not in charge of the NFF? The slaves can hire their master for all I care. If that is their decision, I will not support the team or engage in that foolishness. This is 2024 and Nigeria still cannot make her affairs? Disgrace.

Why should there be a racial requirement for the head coach of Nigeria? Seems to me like a lot of you locos cannot articulate a case for.a Nigerian coach other than the usual slave narrative. If you can explain it then you need to study it until you know. We have plenty of reasons to hire a Nigerian but slave mentality aunt one.

I dont need to speak any man foreign language here as articulation call engrissh... yes you nigerians especially the animals in the so call glass house are slaves. Oyen Ocha..(whiteman) has beclouded their reasoning beyond their graves.

Now let me now break the news to you all other naive to the plans already ingrained in NFF. Every new Chairman will have to hire a foreign coach. It does not matter how much Nigerians cry. It does not matter if we have a Nigerian in the mold of Pep Guadiola.

Its about making money from the Salary of the hired Foreigner. This new Chairman will say " so na my time. Una won go hire a Local Coach?" Abeg commot for road....

The best he will do to silence criticism is to find a coach -(OyenOcha) thats a bit palatable to Nigerian fans and its good night.
Lets forget this world cup my brodas.. The hand writing is already on the wall.

I dont care how talented a team you are. You can win against a team that put together with integrity all the way from the grounds crew men to tje locker room attendant. Shikennaaaaa..... Pro you feel me?. Emir K- You feel me? Cheers..

They will do all they can to qualify because the Lageeese from FIFA cant be missed. Thats all they are planning for oooo.

Do you know of any Nigerian coach that was denied the SE job only to thrive and win tournaments elsewhere? Actually, I’ll make it easier. How many of the Nigerian coaches that applied have actually had a job as a coach recently?

And your point is ?

If you can’t see his very obvious point, then you never will.
End of discussion.

[1naija]

What's his record with the US teams he has coached?

Employ Michael Nsien. Simple. He's currently an Assistant Coach with the US National team and is also the substantive Head Coach of the US u19 team. A Nigerian through and through, he was part of our Olympic team that failed to qualify for the 2004 Olympics. He has the UEFA Pro, UEFA A, and USSF A Licenses.

If true, this is very shallow from the NFF, soulless

Finidi has no one to blame but HIMSELF.

For his horrific handling of those 2 friendly matches. He exposed himself as unfit for the job.

It is difficult for black coaches to get jobs in Europe and even in Africa. There are a lot of people with colomentality

Notice I never mentioned anything about Finidi losing friendlies.

But carry on.

Despite the public endorsement by former NFF president Amaju Pinnick, Finidi George is out of the reckoning for the head coach of the Super Eagles.

The odds are heavily stacked against the Enyimba coach.

A top official told SCORENigeria that besides not processing the requisite coaching badges, Finidi did not pass his audition after he was handed temporary charge for the friendlies against Ghana and Mali in Morocco last month.

“He does not have UEFA Pro license, what he has is UEFA A license,” the official began.

“His man-management during the matches in Morocco left a lot to be desired after he fell out with several of the players.

“He was also found wanting as per his decisions particularly the game against Mali when he made only two substitutions even with so many players on the bench, who did not play against Ghana.”

It will be recalled that several state FA chairmen carpeted Finidi as Eagles substantive coach after the friendlies in Morocco, where the Super Eagles beat Ghana 2-1 before they lost 2-0 to Mali.

The NFF technical committee shortlisted the former Ajax winger, who assisted Jose Peseiro at the recent 2023 AFCON, for further consideration by the Executive Committee.

The committee will meet again Tuesday in Abuja to deliberate on the appointment of a new coach for the Super Eagles.

Good riddance, if this is true. I campaigned for him before the friendlies but the friendlies showed me he has no integrity!

Olayemi,

Although I truly find no use for these licenses beyond their service as a gate, if that is the rile then that is a more legitimate reason to bar Finidi than the lousy claim that he lost a friendly.

[Olayemi14]

Agreed. However, I personally think that the license requirement across the board is needed. As long as there is a UEFA Pro license equivalent (in substance) that can be attained. Footy management should not be different from obtaining ICAN, ACCA or other professional designations.

[1naija]

Why should a UEFA License be a requirement for a Nigerian coach with CAF License to coach a Nigerian team? That's like saying an SAT and GRE or GMAT should be a requirement for getting admission into a university in Nigeria. I am not making an arguing for Finidi to be the coach or not, but it's stupid for a CAF National team to make a UEFA lincense a requirement to coach the team. We would not ask a Brazilian or Argenitinian coach to provide a UEFA licence if he applied for the job. No one has asked Randy Waldrum for his UEFA lincense, yet we were begging him to re-sign with the Super Falcon.

[Olayemi14]

Chief, I said a UEFA Pro license "equivalent" in "substance". We currently have the CAF Pro license. I am not sure how well regarded it is in the continent given that only 3 sub sahara African coaches have it i.e. Ibenge, Pitso and Cisse. Pitso confirmed this fact a couple of years ago. You can look it up on youtube. Guess what? They are among the best in the continent.

Every nation needs to define what it needs in a manager. If the UEFA A "equivalent" is what we seek, then fine. The likes of Oliseh (Pro?), Utaka, Egu (I believe) have the UEFA A. The UEFA Pro license takes almost 3 years to attain.

The claim is not that he lost a friendly. The claim is that he showed lack of integrity in the prosecution of the friendly matches. Huge difference!

If coaching is what you want to dedicate the rest of your life to, spending three years to obtain a license is not too steep a price to pay..

Nsien has UEFA A license and a candidate for UEFA Pro license.. He hasnt gotten it yet..

What's his record with the US teams he has coached?

Kpom! This is the type of argument that does justice to Nigerian coaches, the slave theory is dumb.

All these Americans pushing an inexperienced coach for the SE. Finidi is our choice.

Yes, I follow join for the Amelikkkans pushing for Coach Nsien.

He should be part of the setup either as the head coach or as part of the assistant coaches.
