It's in everything worldwide, not just sports. We don't know if there's any in this case and if there is, it's not necessarily ill-motivated - there may be legitimate reasons to pick one person over another, especially if only one can be picked.
If Amunike saw something nefarious in the process let him bring it out. Otherwise, it's best for him to lay low and wait for other opportunities. And in the time being it helps if he's seen as a supporter of the selected candidate. Having indigenous coaches is bigger than one person's ambition. Antagonizing people is not the best way to go about things.

I don't know if Amuneke is one of those who takes advice from anyone.
But until they change the NFF Technical Committee he won't be going anywhere.
Any utterances he makes during or after this ordeal will affirm any bias those who blocked him have against him.
Again, he should hire a good agent (agency). One who has long tentacles, globally. If his passion is coaching I don't understand why he remained unemployed as a coach for 4 years. In this part of the world, you see head coaches who, when they get fired, still proceed to become assistant coaches or position coaches so as to not have a gap in their resume.
I hope this experience spurs him into action...

Uncle, what i find most interesting was how the media backed him significantly, even naming him as the coach. Who was doing his bidding in the media?Cellular wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 6:27 pmBaba Oloye, welcome back.oloye wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 9:02 amI spoke to him yesterday as soon as I saw this article, i think the use of the phrase "bad blood" sent out a wrong message.

His time will come.

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Truth is, both Amunike and Finidi are hardly qualified for the job based on their resumes. Not sure how much of an input or impact Finidi had on Peseiro’s team and SE an definitely do much better than Amunike. They should have done all they could to keep Peseiro if it was possible or look for someone with pedigree.

He gets to prove himself in an U-20 World Cup or the Olympics, both of which are World standard with good exposure and perfect for CV building.
He must not wait for the SE!
He should EARN IT!
First thing is to get an agent that will help him land a coaching job.
Having won an U-17 WC a+ Coaching an AFCON team IMHO should be enough qualification for the U-20 Flying Eagles.
He is based in Nigeria and can harness the local league for the next generation of SE players. I would prefer him over the other clowns (Bosso, Salisu et al)

If I were to advise the NFF, I would say fuse the U20&U23 programs into one coaching team. Saves them money anyway.
