EXCLUSIVE: Finidi out of race for new Super Eagles coach

[Next]

https://scorenigeria.com.ng/exclusive-f ... les-coach/

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.

Ohenhen go bust vein. What they did to Finidi was not right. If he didn’t qualify why were they leading him on? Btw, who in the technical committee has a pro license? Awon ole.

[ohenhen1]

One day Nigeria will get lucky. We will be lucky to get good leadership to run the NFF. A few things. You can't coach a CAF champions league game without the right coaches badges. It is okay if you don't want to hire him. But to sponsor this hit piece is too much. We need better people running the NFF. What kind of licenses do the NFF members? What makes them qualified to hold their positions? Let me remind the idiots running the NFF. They are the ones that are hiring an U17 coach one month before WWAFU B. It is now April 14th, less than 2 months before WC qualifier game. Nigeria still don't have a coach. Yet these people have the audacity to attack Finidi George.

[ohenhen1]

I pray for Nigeria. I hope we can qualify. It is goin to be difficult. But anything is possible. Nigeria has the Nigerian spirit. Who is the Nigerian coach?

[1naija]

Why is a UEFA license a requirement for coaching a CAF country when CAF has a licence certification?

[ohenhen1]

It is an obvious hit piece. It is okay don't hire Finidi. But stop the smear campaign.

[Tobi17]

You're fast losing it man, calm TF down.

[highbury]

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 manage her affairs? Disgrace.

I was for Finidi but the cameo i saw was enough. Dude is not a man manager. He was with Oliseh forming clicks that destroyed a great team before the 2002 world cup. Just like Oliseh both seem to suck at man management. Good riddance

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.

That is it my brother. The best description is slave mentality. I don't need to concot another description. Let's be honest, we have alot of slaves in leadership. That is the truth

KPOM.

I was all about to support Finidi.

I would have been 100% behind him.

But in those 2 matches he showed us exactly why he should be nowhere near SE.

Glad he exposed himself before he would do us serious damage.

The narrative is important. First there is nothing about coaching that is beyond a Nigerian. Yet for years we read about appointing a European with a local to understudy the appointee. This has been on and off since the 1950s. What mentality is that? Do we have a European manning the Presidency of Nigeria or other more important positions? Is football managing beyond a Nigerian? It is plain ridiculous and it deserves calling out, not once but frequently until that mentality is extinguished. Now if infact the proponents of this mentality actually end up supporting the hiring of an indeed superior Euuropean manager, then no one would complain. However, the hiring of an average coach simply because the person is European deserves calling out. I will definitely be at the vanguard of that protest.

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.

Bro, I always knew it was always about money. "Dang the Nigerian people," they said. Guess what, they get away with. Their predecessors did. With all the Europeans we have hired, how many World Cups have we won? Semifinalist or even Quarter Finalist? I am telling you we have slave leaders who are corrupt. It is always about the money.

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?

[Obong]

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.

Not ‘win tournaments’ but Keshi did thrive and had success outside of Nigeria, ex qualifying Togo for its first WC, a WC that Nigeria missed…

The system is setup for bad people to get into leadership positions in Nigeria. One day we get lucky and luck our way into a good situation that can lead into change. Because I don't see good things. The WOWO mentality is getting out of hand.
