Re: NFF Not Serious on Youth Football

The NFF should have made this dude head coach… https://twitter.com/SowoleMoshood1/status/1779841825060131295 I am a fan of Olumide Ajibolade. I hope he gets hired as the assistant coach as he will be doing most of the coaching while Manu Garba does the managing. It is a good way for him to get his ...

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

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...

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

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...

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

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 blac...

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

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 Dutc...

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Finidi out of race for new Super Eagles coach

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 stu...

Re: EXCLUSIVE: Finidi out of race for new Super Eagles coach

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 ...

Re: The NFF suspends footballer for 2 season for Handball offence

The NFF must have viewed the goal decision as not an error but something more sinister, like match fixing. It doesn't say so in the report, I am just speculating :???: Kpom! The play was just too duplicitous to be an accidental handball. The league had to do something so severe so as to discourage ...

Re: Nsien Interview -

The ex Angolan coach is also ahead of him. But he should be appointed as the U20/assistant SE coach. He should be seriously considered. But if he doesn't get the SE job he should be considered for the U20 job. I also would like the Beyond Limits coach, Olumide Ajibolade to coach our U17. But with t...

Re: ‘We’re evaluating viability’ — Tony Elumelu hints at buying NPFL club

Things are slowly changing. If Elumelu succeeds in buying a club, he will raise the profile of the NPFL and other businessmen might follow suit.

Amaju dud not want an indigenous manager and he was pretty much open about it at the time. I have mentioned several times that he said that clearly to a few us ...

Very concerned and shameful if you ask me.
