Amuneke new Heartland coach

[mystic]

I wish Amuneke all the best but coaching Heartland is akin to a suicide mission.

Heartland job is a tough job. Didn't they also recently get into a car crash that caued the death of their head coach in pre-season.

Well, he took the job knowing fully well that the players are subpar and that the star literally abandoned the squad. It is a suicide mission, alright but he took it hoping to work a miracle.

Look at them making excuses for him! "A tough job." What is the Super Eagles job? An easy job ??? Truth is that your benefactor should never be anywhere near the Super Eagles job, if merit is involved.

I'm not sure anyone is making excuses for him. Heartland is a tough job by NPFL standards. But that doesn't mean he has a free pass to fail. We should see his impact on the team.

What makes the Heartlands job tougher than any other NPFL job?
Genuine question.

Nigeria is tough job. The Heartland job is not even 100000th as close to be tough as the Nigerian job. Amunike is not the first person to take a so called tough job. The only impact we want to see is him winning titles, anything less and he should never be mentioned anywhere near super eagles.

The team has seen very inconsistent investment in recent years compared with other teams of the same calibre (if I may use that word) such as Enyimba, Rangers and Rivers United. And the politics there is much more than you see in most teams.

Hence why he was brought in to make things better. He needs to use all his experience and contacts to find solutions on the pitch. That is the first assignment. The job is nowhere near as hard as managing the SE where you only get to meet and work with your players two or three times a year.

I only said that the role is tough. If you do not agree it is tough then say so - nobody compared it to the Super Eagles job. Not every Amuneke discussion has to be about the Super Eagles - he is an NPFL coach.

Which we must all accept is his level.

A harsh away loss vs 3SC

I wish Amuneke all the best but coaching Heartland is akin to a suicide mission.

Why is that?

Heartland might be the most dysfunctional clubside in the NPFL.

That's all well and good, but when Heartland gets relegated, I hope he will not start blaming the dysfunctional nature of the club, because no one will want to hear that.

Okay.
We wish him all the best.
He must have done his own assessment of the club before accepting the offer.
Amuneke never shied away from a challenge. We have to give that to him.

Time will tell if he indeed did his homework. I think that losing out to Finidi for the national team post is the catalyst for his foray into coaching in the NPFL, because that previously didn't seem to be his cup of tea.

Mind you I'm not stating this as a fact. Just my sense of things.

Heartland got thier 1st away win today with a 0-2 win against Abia Warriors in Umuahia. Heartland has now gone 3 straight without a loss. 2 wins, one draw.

Heartland is definitely doing better than expected. The team is above relegation zone and today's win was a big surprise

[lacidi]

Heartland won their 3rd consecutive match today. Rivers United lost their 2nd consecutive match as they lost 0-1 at home to Bayelsa United.
Ikorodu City have found their mojo, going from bottom to middle of table within 4 weeks. They won away again today against Katsina United.
The NPFL is becoming more competitive with no team guaranteed a home win unlike in the previous years.

This is great.
Especially as teams are now able to win away games.

it bodes well but the test is will it continue during the business rounds of the league.
