The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has sacked the entire technical crew of the Super Eagles following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be hosted by Qatar.

Nigeria’s senior male football team, Super Eagles drew 1-1 with their Ghanaian counterparts, the Black Stars on Tuesday, in a match that was to decide who would qualify for the tournament.

The Super Eagles earlier drew 0-0 in Ghana, meaning Nigeria failed to qualify based on away goals rule.

The Super Eagles lost the ticket to Black Stars of Ghana in a 1-1 draw on Tuesday at the MKO National Stadium Abuja with the visitors going through on away-goal rule.

The interim chief coach Augustine Eguavoen earlier resigned from the position to fall back to his role as Technical Director.

A statement on Thursday by the NFF Secretary-General, Dr Mohammed Sanusi said the technical crew of the Super Eagles have been sacked.

It reads: “The NFF has in the meantime withdrawn the two-and-half years’ contract offered the coaches and terminated the appointment of the entire technical crew of the team with immediate effect.

“A new crew will be announced after a proper review to lead the new charge of reinvigorating the Super Eagles to face future challenges appropriately.”

So they have also sacked Eguavoen from his Technical Director position? Na wa o.

[Otitokoro]

Looks like they got rid of him too - may be a cost cutting move (why keep the coaches on payroll when there is no upcoming competition).

If Naija football wants to move ahead, those doing the sacking should complete
the clearing and resign themselves instead of sitting tight on the stink their actions
have created. Can these guys firing the coaches say with a straight face that their decisions
did not contribute to our football failures? Clearly they made the wrong decisions hiring those
they are now scapegoating.

Can't wait for the 'new ideas' these hustlers will try selling to we fans.

I bet the Algerian guy was asked to resign. Pinnick needs to be forced out or all Nigerians are complicit. Not qualifying for the World Cup should be our red line regarding whether the FA chief stays in the role.

Yup.
But Nigerians don’t resign.
Resign ke?
Is he not Nigerian?

Best post since our exit from the W Cup\. There are killers to our game in the glass house, one of them is the Sec. gen. Sanusi. that man is evil.

[ANC]

Amunike should not have accepted the position

[Enugu II]

Amunike should not have accepted the position

Amuneke made that bed, the consequences are ALL HIS.

To me there are things that make me wonder about Emmanuel Amuneke in the last few months. I have a slightly different view of the man since then. Here are some.

1. I thought this was a principled man. If that was so why would you even accept to do this job WITHOUT a valid contract? Is he so desperate? Why do the job without a contract?

2. Was he not part of a coaching crew that accepted NFF's interference on the invitation of players? Surely, that cannot be a plus.

Those two points above have lowered my view about the man. Her gets the sack, along with Egu, deservedly. The shame is that it appears they acted more like stooges and they are being thrown out like stooges.

The first name that needed to be fired was the goal keeping coach.Been in post 5 years and has not been able to find or develop a decent goalkeeper.

At the last ANC before this, we went out courtesy of Akpeyi free kick gaff.Then in the last ANC we went out due to another goal keeping howler. Then to cap it off we go out of the World Cup qualifier due to another goalkeeping gaff. There has to be point where you say enough is enough and get rid of the goalkeeping coach that cannot add any value.

I don’t blame Egu he was the worst player on the 1994 World Cup squad and was thrusted into a position he should never been entrusted with. His CV consists of having taken a talented under 17 team consisting of Obi, Obasi, Nsofor,Taiwo etc and got knocked in the first round of the Under 17 FIFA World Cup.!That same team went on to win the under 20 Afcon and the Silver medal @ the FIFA under 20 World Cup; the same team also won a silver medal at the Olympics loosing out to Messi in both finals, no shame . Had Egu been charge it would have been first round exit in all those tournaments.

When given the opportunity he could not even qualify the under20 team for the Olympics. But Panick decided to replace Rohr with Egu. Panick needs to face the consequences for these stupid decisions and needs to go. If Nigeria is banned for the violence after the match against Ghana it would be ideal opportunity for the government to get rid of the whole board.

Govt can’t interfere with NFF runnings. They will have to beat him out through election. They can rig the election all I care, the man has to go.

[Kneedeep]

Believe it or not we are making progress, at least the fans and the media are.

Surprisingly none of the coaches have been accused of being any player's agent (yet?).

They may have made a mistake hiring this particular set of coaches but the bigger issue, by far, is the NFF’s penchant to impose their will on coaches out of self-interest. No one in the whole wide world can convince me that the team that faced Ghana in Abuja was Eguavoen’s selection. So basically, the NFF has fired the technical crew for the NFF’s own shortcomings while they remain in place to make even more absurd decisions. Nigeria, we hail thee


Cheers.

Please tell us which other job Amuneke had or offers, that he should have turned down a high profile job like the SE assistant coach?

Other than the regulars, the UK boys were mostly NFF pickings.

Aloy Agu the goalkeeping coach was a horrendous keeper in Senegal 92 ANC. Appointing him was a head scratcher, and his trainees have been performing just like him. Also inserting shoelace master Joseph Yobo into the technical crew in spite of no coaching training or past proven performance was just perplexing.
For the future, I'd like to see Ndubuisi Egbo involved in some capacity. He has proven himself as a head coach in Europe, and was also a stable goalie. At the very least, he can be offered the goalie coach role if he will accept.
Also a proven team psychologist is a must. He either did not exist in the outgoing crew or was just as poor as the other staff.
