NFF President Speaks on Public Poll on Peseiro's Tenure & the Future

[Enugu II]

I like the fact that the NFF is thinking out-of-the-box here and not merely copying what others have/are doing. Purt out feelers to the public and do a full analysis of NT management -- results, costs, etc.

Jose Peseiro’s contract with the Nigerian Super Eagles will soon expire, yet after nine games, he has won four and lost five, leaving his future uncertain

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Ibrahim Gusau, has disclosed that the football governing body intends to seek the opinion of the public to determine the future of coach Jose Peseiro, Soccernet.ng reports.

In an effort to involve Nigerians in the decision-making process, the NFF plans to conduct a social media and SMS poll.

Confirming the reports during an interview on the Gbamm! LovingFootball™ Show, Gusau emphasized the NFF’s commitment to hearing the views of the Nigerian public regarding the coach’s future.

The federation has previously employed both foreign and domestic coaches but encountered challenges with each selection.

Gusau acknowledged the possibility of not finding the right person for the role, prompting the NFF to consider public input.

“We have that plan to push it to Nigerians and to hear their views [about the decision],” Gusau stated. “We tried the foreign coaches and also the home-based coaches, and it seems all were having some kind of problems. But maybe we did not get it right in the area of getting the right person [for the role]. But we are surely going to push it to the public whether to continue with Peseiro or let him go.”

In addition to soliciting opinions on Peseiro’s future, the NFF intends to gauge public sentiment on the idea of appointing a Nigerian coach.

“And on the question of going for an indigenous coach, we are still going to push that to Nigerians. on the phone, to tell us ‘Do you think going for a Nigerian coach would be best for Nigeria? then we would look at it as a board and come out with a decision.” he added.

The move to involve the public in making this significant decision is suggested to demonstrate the NFF’s commitment to transparency and ensure that the interests of Nigerian football fans are considered.

Yes they are clowns.

What serious organization consults public opinion when making decisions. They are not professionals, a bunch of backwards goat herders.

Nna, I don't know what to say.
This must be a joke or somn.

Hire a personnel recruiter to give you a shortlist of candidates that fit what you are looking for.
Me, personally, I will keep hiring local coaches until I get the right one.

Like I said before, we will be wish Uncle Pinnick had remained as President for life by the time this Ja-Rule looking clown is done with us.

Here we go again with our NFF resident fool ! Great idea , but we should try the idea first with his own position (NFF President). Instead of the current process whereby few corrupt individuals are electing NFF President for the country, he should poll the public. What a smartass !

Shebi you’ve been calling for a local coach abi. You should be happy that you’ll finally get to have a say on the next coach. You have 2 options. Press 1 for 5yrs failure or Press 2 for 10yrs of failure.

Clowns will be clowns.

Can't one of you guys run for NFF president since you think you're smarter? Internet and CE forum intelligentisia

My immediate thoughts!

[olu]

Poll on whether to keep the coach. Sounds ridiculous to me.

[1naija]

No, you can't, just like you can't run successfully to be the President of Nigeria. The positions are rigged for criminals. You should be laughing at the fact that you don't know that. To run for NFF President you have to be a chairman of a state FA. To be a state FA chairman, a criminal Governor has to appoint you to the position. So you tell us, how can one of us run for NFF president position?

Can't one of you guys run for NFF president since you think you're smarter? Internet and CE forum intelligentisia

I actually like the move.

This is the classic 'trial balloon' that many institutions and companies use but out in the open. You engage to find out public opinion and use that information to act. It does not mean the opinion does the hiring.

Over the years, Nigeria has vacillitating in terms of hiring local and going foreign. IMO, the results does not indicate that a difference exists in that divide. In essence, the difference must exist using some other variable that isn't clear. However, NFF clearly is not investing in locating that deciding variable but want to continue to use the simpler but unclear divide -- foreign v local. LOL. Therefore, why not cheerily seek the public opinion on this? Afterall, if it fails you can site the public backing.

Stupid idea. This is not some reality TV show where you call on the public to vote. The opinion of the ordinary emotional football supporters has no value and shouldn’t even be sought.

[vancity eagle]

Frankly what I read from this is that the NFF doesn't want to take responsibility for their decisions. They can deflect the blame for anything going wrong on to THE PUBLIC.

Downright pathetic. In fact I am sure they won't even look at the poll results to make their decisions, those are already decided, but again this is an attempt to divert blame and responsibility from themselves. That's what crooks do.

You’d be surprised that he’s very serious!

KPOM. It is called flying a kite and a well known strategy used in public communication. Nothing new. The only surprising stuff here is that NFF is doing it in the open

[donadoni]

I hope they will be extending the same public social media poll when selecting the NFF leadership
