[ohenhen1]

I guess Finidi and Amokachi will work on the attack.. Benjamin James will work on the defense and set pieces.

Why would the Head Coach only work on the attack?

... except the parts about Shooting Stars (should called be shooting blanks) ...

Can you make your salary public also, so you can be a target for alayes also? You want Finidi to make his salary public so you all can queue up to call him bros. Man, gerrarahia.

At last. Nice one. And Finidi seems ready for the work ahead.

Does anyone know how much he is being paid? Salaries of foreign coaches is always public, so we can shout when they don’t perform.

I want them to make his salary public, so that he won’t turn around in 5 years time to claim that he was paid N1m per month unlike foreign coaches.

[1naija]

I am concerned about his mindset here. Just bombard them? I don't care how many goals they scored? There are cliques in the team? The players were not giving 100% at the AFCON?

[ohenhen1]

The head coach will oversee the entire team.

[ohenhen1]

Finidi will obviously oversee the entire team but he will allow his assistants bring in their speciality.

What informed Finidi's selection of the non Nigerian? Has he worked with him the past? Did they play together? Was he part of his staff at the Mallorca Junior team?

Uncle, why are you laughing? I doubt he is just some random guy Finidi found on the streets. There has to be a reason for his selection.

I wrote a response to him, and then deleted it. I am not wasting my time.

[danfo driver]

Its been made public already -- $45,000 per month (I am also seeing 15 million naira on Twitter).

From coaching u-15 team to assistant coach of a national team? Only in Nigeria. I doubt we will be at the WC. A shame because it is happening where I live.

Phew! Thank you Lord! I love how you hate what is going on and you are angry. Your hatred means we are likely to win the next AFCON and if it gets stronger, chances are we will be World champions in 2026!

Had you supported Finidi and our team, we'd be finished!

From your lips to God's ears my broda.

I definitely hate what is happening to our football right now. This has to be the most unqualified and incompetent coaching trio ever assembled.
A local champion. A u-15 couch. An unemployed part time commentator. The 3 stooges.

[1naija]

I actually agree with you. When I heard Youth Coach at Hoffenheim, I thought it was U21 or something. The players won't respect this guy. Michael Nsien would have been a better choice. But we shall see..

‘Goal Shifting’ specialists full this forum. Carry on Lol

The intellectual dishonesty is from you folks who are pretending not to know the difference between advocating that the headman be a Naijarian and him being allowed to choose his own assistants.

But I guess with you guys, advocating for a local guy to become the headcoach is "goal shifting" because he shouldn't be allowed to choose his own assistants?

First of all, my simple comment wasn’t directed to anyone but I guess the message hit home.

Na bro, y’all the one that are being dishonest. All I heard on this forum from your kind is “give local coaches a chance.” Why can’t Finidi’s assistants all be local too? Are we undervaluing the impact of assistant coaches. We all saw how Ivory Coast got rid of their head coach and the local assistant coach took over and the rest is history. Y’all Black Panthers are the ones to quickly call someone WOWO & throw insults when someone’s opinions don’t align with yours. I’ve criticized Rohr for his lack of substitutions, Peseiro for all those losses and hanging onto Uzoho far too long. I’m fine with Finidi as long as he doesn’t pull that nonsense from the friendlies again. Even before Finidi came on board yall were campaigning for a local coach even though we don’t have competent ones. Siasisa can’t be trusted, Salisu is a criminal, Amuneke y’all don’t like and is probably on the same level as finidi, and Egu is minus one.

My preference has always been to hire a top level foreign coach or pick between Finidi and Amuneke and pay them like they pay those journey men foreign coaches ,and let them chose their assistants. I do like that local coach that took the u-16 boys to that Italian tournament.

And to make matters worse, he was "calling" SE, green eagles, more than 30 years after that name was changed. That tells me how organized and detailed he is.

True it is underwhelming, but realistically, what are his options? We are not exactly teeming with young assistant coaches and technical staff allover the world, and our league, from where you would normally source this, is substandard.

At the end of the day, it comes down to the manager...

I look forward to seeing how he prosecutes this...

I didn't know there was a rule to where you "source" assistants from. It says a whole lot about Finidi that the most competent "friend" he has despite playing football in Europe for decades is an U-15 coach and an unemployed part time commentator. We are doomed!
