Which successful African team does this ?

CIV ?

Senegal ?

Morocco ?
Keshi did and won the AFCON. I know you wish that the 2013 ANC is removed from memory :taunt:

This is Keshi all over again.

We are in serious trouble.

Re: OFFICIAL & BREAKING: NFF Finally Announces Finidi as Eagles Manager......

Who are his assistants? Congratulations to Coach Finidi. Good question. Congratulations all the same to Finidi George, the new Eagles Manager. Looking forward to see what he does with a full complement of his players. So you expect him to bring in his own players and discard some of the established...

A recent AFCON finalist quacking in its boots because of Rwanda and South Africa? South Africa was our only competition, but they're notoriously inconsistent, as they've already proven with just two games played. I expect even an average coach to top the group unless there are other deeper issues w...

Re: Okoye vs Inter

In my view, we should be excited that Okoye is doing well at his club. Hopefully, it all translates to the national team without any fragility standing tin the way. If he is able to perform at the same level, Nigeria will have at least two credible goalkeepers going forward. It is something that we...

Re: Okoye vs Inter

But if the ones playing in ‘lower’ quality leagues are doing better for SE, doesn’t that tell you something? Footie is not 1+1 = 2, it’s not that straight forward or simplistic. If Nwabalis SE form starts dropping then you start looking at other options, but Nwabali has the number 1 jersey and ther...

Re: 10 lessons we can learn from the loss to Mali

Herve Renard and Finidi George sounds like a good combination to me. President Tinubu just needs to summon a consortium of Dangote, Adenuga, Otedola, Rabiu, Alakija, Elemulu, Ibeto, etc to Aso Rock and get them to be responsible for the coaches’ salaries. The same Herve Renard that won an Afcon by ...

Re: MUTIU ADEPOJU Spills his take on SE COACH....But Awaziem Quietly Wires a SLAP

These 94 set guys need to be phased out of Football matters. They are part of the problem. I don't think Finidi's qualification was because he was part of the 94 set! He played football at the highest level. He had his coaching badge He came home to coach a local side and won the league title. All ...
