Re: Local Vs Foreign Coach Debate. Data and Statistics since 1980

This is about a systemic issue in Nigeria where your skin colour automatically determines your bargaining power. If Emenalo showed up, they would rather not hire him than pay him higher than a white man. That is Nigeria in any sector. I am the international (EMEA and APAC) lead for my role at the A...

Re: Local Vs Foreign Coach Debate. Data and Statistics since 1980

This would make loads of sense if it was not the norm in EVERY SECTOR in Nigeria to pay white people more than black people. Go to any multinational or even the big local companies. Any Nigerian coach that tries to negotiate a big salary will be ignored and shunned for a journeyman European coach w...

Re: Local Vs Foreign Coach Debate. Data and Statistics since 1980

I didn't miss it. Belgium has no history of offering higher payments to foreigners - Nigeria has. Roberto Martinez was paid €1.2 a year when he took over. They had to pay that amount to Martinez as they could not attract Belgian coaches like Leekens (who left in 2012 for Brugge for about €1 million...

Re: Local Vs Foreign Coach Debate. Data and Statistics since 1980

Quit with your whataboutery. Anderlecht in Belgium gave a black man, Kompany, a €5 million a year contract so I won't complain. Where is the Kompany example in Nigeria? In case you missed it, we are discussing national team coaches. Now, answer my question. I didn't miss it. Belgium has no history ...

Re: Local Vs Foreign Coach Debate. Data and Statistics since 1980

It is the responsibility of the employer to offer pay equity, especially in a position of national interest where a particular class, in the case the locals, are disadvantaged in bargaining power. You can dip your head in the sand and pretend that being foreign, especially white, does not give an a...

Re: Folorunsho Golazzo against Juventus!

We have lost Folorunsho to Italy. This is a player that Peseiro should have called up last year, but he refused. And now, we do not have the player, Peseiro has moved on with his life and Nigeria is the one that loses. This is why you need a serious Technical Director (or Director of Football) whos...

Re: Local Vs Foreign Coach Debate. Data and Statistics since 1980

It's not the responsibility of your employer to pay you what you think you are worth. You negotiate for it and if you don't like their offer, you walk away. You can't act desperate and be unprofessional about your job and expect to be taken seriously. The local coaches have to share some of the bla...
