BREAKING!!! Jose Peseiro DUMPED, EGUAVOEN TO CONTINUE!!

[EagleEye]

For continuity sake, EGUAVOEN to be given a 2 year contract if he qualifies the SE for the World Cup in Qatar.

Understandably Peseiro is very upset at the new development and has been using his agent to pressure the NFF to make their verbal agreement a reality.

So far NFF has backtracked and have refused to play ball.

Lol

[maceo4]

Just wow, this NFF people na wa, can't trust a single thing they say. Wasn't Picnic live on TV running his mouth about done deals and what not...

[Lolly]

Peseiro can’t be serious. You want a job where you would be meeting the team 3 days before a crucial world cup qualifier?

The NFF didn’t have any other option. It had to be either Eguavoen or Salisu. It is what it is.

[Tobi17]

Even though the source is questionable, it's logically what we all expected... Eguavoen's saving grace this time is that he has learned from his tactical mistakes (hopefully), Ghana still looks disorganized with no coach, and he will now get to choose his own team with no drama like we saw in the AFCON

[Goalgetter]

That’s a no-brainer! Eguavoen should lead the team to the playoffs and should they qualify manage them at the World Cup. Perseiro not being in Cameroon (although I guess he probably watched the team’s games on tv), makes having him takeover before such a massive derby ridiculous and unjustifiable. Eguavoen has had 4 competitive matches with the team - that is very very crucial for preparations for the playoffs. Peseiro will be a very stupid gamble. If Peseiro wanted the job and a chance to go to the worldcup, he should have insisted on taking the team to the AFCON. He dodged it because doesn’t want any AFCON failures to be on his resume! Now I’m sure he wants the playoffs.. Win he goes to the World Cup. Lose he will say “hey you see I didn’t have time with the team. This is my first game.” Nigeria shouldn’t get played like that.

This is the first intelligent thing Pinnik and the NFF have done since they fired Rohr.
It is the right move. Changing coaches onces again will essentially put our WC qualification round against Ghana in serious jeopardy. Peseiro would have had zero time to get to know the team and prepare for a do or die tie.

Besides, Eguavon has proven that he can get the job done, with some help of course. Now he needs the countrys full backing and support!

I agree with you but we have argued here that these coaches need not be in Nigeria because the players they manage are all outside the country. Have we not repeatedly made the claim here?. That the coach can just come during games when players arrive. In my view, that is absolute rubbish. The manager needs to live in Nigeria and travel to meet his players when ever. Right now if he had a place here, he should be working with the NFF to ensure that all arrangements are in order and can inspect those while contacting his players from Nigeria and going wherever to visit.

What do you mean they didn't have any other option? Aren't they the ones that planned it this way? So they get to make a sh1tty plan, realize at the last minute that oh snap its a sh1tty plan and do a 180 without any blame in the matter from you?

First off, does Peseiro actually have a contract with the NFF or just a verbal agreement? Second, if he does shouldn't it be stated in his contract where he should reside and his residence details hashed out in the contract? If he doesn't why should he be in Nigeria working with the NFF who haven't employed him? Is there something I'm missing or some scenario where this isn't an absolute sh1t show from the NFF? First they claimed they have a contract with him when clearly they don't, they also claimed the plan is for him to be in Cameroon to be around observing the team and scouting opposition, which clearly he wasn't, and then take over after the AFCON to handle the WCQ which according to this is not gonna happen. These were all things that came out of Picnics mouth on live TV, so how do they suddenly get absolution from either completely lying or completely bungling up their plans or both????

Good luck with the highlighted.
Until we get serious, we will continue to be referred to as having talent but
no leadership. Unfortunately we are saddled with a federation that flip-flops
on everything and continually non transparent. With that we will continue to
get what we deserve - an ineffective team.

If this is true, How do you people expect to attract any half decent coach to Nigeria if you continue to bungle appointments like this? First Saintfiet, now Peseiro?

Nigeria we hail thee...

[Tobi17]

On BBC the situation is reported as been fluid with Peseiro still very much in the picture.

That is the first intelligent post anyone has made here.

The Amaju Pinnck rhapsody continues...

[1naija]

Great idea. I like what I saw in Eguavoen. The key thing I noticed is that the players actually respond to his instruction ...

...except Awoniyi who refused to drop back against Tunisia ..

[1naija]

I disagree.

It's actually mumbo jumbo! Which puts yours in doubt ....

So Eguavoen is not decent? Oga, as long as they haven't signed a contract with Peseiro, it's all good.

[1naija]

We will just beg the next coach for forgiveness like they do in Nigerian movies.

Honestly this is the worst administration Nigerian football has ever had and Pinnick should seriously be called out fast before this man completely finishes our football...was it not this same Pinnick clown that was running his mouth with that his ridiculous looking goatee on how Peseiro had already signed the contract with all payments he was due for already covered by sponsors blah blah blah, he said all of this on AriseTV when he was interviewed... Now we're finding out the Peseiro hasn't even signed any contract yet! why does Pinnick lie too much? very dubious and unreliable character smh.

The importance of the 2-legged World Cup qualifier is what really makes it a stupid idea to have Peseiro take over with very little time with his players. He should have been in Cameroon working with Eguavoen, not “observing” from the stands. Even top managers would not have any significant impact not to talk of a poor coach like him with only 2 days of working with a national team.

Amaju is trying to be cute. He doesn’t want to spend money but he wants a foreign coach on the cheap that he can sell to his sponsors.

Let Eguavoen take over. We have no other choice. At least he has spent a few weeks working with the players and 4 competitive matches under his belt. Though I am not excited and not confident that he will get the required result against Ghana. I just know he will fumble it by starting with the wrong players.

Maybe he signed a pre contract
