Reliance on foreigners has stunted growth of African coaches –Nsien

[gochino]

We have too many top attacking players to sit back and take pressure. Get the players to be galvanised and feel valued by the federation and within the team, and win.

Not just coaches. Everything in Nigeria is under threat from the Japa and WOWO movement.

African countries prioritise foreign coaches ahead of their local counterparts. How far do you think this has affected the game positively or negatively on the continent?

African countries prefer foreign and older coaches. Most of these foreign coaches are at the end of their careers and looking to collect a few last cheques. You can tell that some of these coaches are not there to make a difference. They are not connected to the country. Once the time runs out and the same results exist they move on. This has stunted the growth of our own coaches who find it hard to find jobs outside.

spelled it out and I love it! Dude is too honest, soon they will demonize him like they did Oliseh.

As you saw earlier today, a CE member already straught up lied against him to tarnish his image. Watch out! CE members and Nigerians will start a smear campaign against him.

Nsien would be a great choice but he needs to watch what he’s saying so the Nff doesn’t eliminate him from contention. If I were him I’d just pretend to be a FC to get the job. Nff already said they want a FC and he’d actually be more likely to get it unless he talks himself out of it.

His pitch should be that he’s American, coach of the most successful youth national team in the US. That he has a UEFA pro license and a US soccer pro certification. That he’s also Nigerian by birth but he hasn’t been there for so long that he doesn’t even know anybody there anymore. He loves the EPL and has trained under Eddie Howe,Jose Maurinho and Wenger are his fav all time coaches. That he’s currently an Arsenal fan but used to support Chelsea and Man U.

Loves jollof rice, Okocha and Kanu.

It hasn't stunted Otto Addo.

Neither did it stunt Rabah Sadaane years ago...

Nsien would be a good option for our youth team which should be a good the perfect pathway for any unproven or young Nigerian coach, just like Siasia or even Keshi.

Why would he leave the US youth system to be dragging salary with the likes of LieDown bozzo?

Which is why both started in the youth teams of the clubs that they were an integral part of.

I am not arguing that and as you must have seen, I listed my choices for the SE and he wasnt top 3.

I was just interested in understanding why you think anyone will leave the US Youth job and take up the Nigerian youth job to be in the same company as people like Ladan Bosso. Would be interesting to understand why you think thats possible.

His statement is essentially truthful and has been so for more than half a century. For over 50 years, there is SHOCKINGLY still the talk "we need to hire an European coach so that our people can learn from him." Read the recent statement to the media that was made by an NFF Board member who did not want to be named. His interview has been carried by multiple local media media with the "learning Bullsh$$$t"

I'D DEFINITELY CONSIDER HIM AS HEAD OR ASSISTANT COACH


He's got a good background of playing and coaching and has been around advanced environment, good for elevating Nigeria's. He's also played for Nigeria so he knows the country and its pecuiarities and he has the "connection to the country" that he correctly criticized foreign dependence about. I like his age too. I'd bring him as head coach or an assitant under Amunike, Finidi, Siasia, et al with the unspoken understanding that it could be his someday.

Looks like Concecaio is there top choice. They say he has only lost 2 matches in 24 games with Cameroon. But didn't tell you he has never been successful anywhere and he is a journey man coach that even Cameroon let go.

[deanotito]

Is our primary objective to win or to grow African coaches?

While some of you may say both are not mutually exclusive, Mr Nsien’s comments implies they are. Growing local coaches implies they’re not where they need to be.

I would argue that we likely have some coaches comparable to those we’d find abroad, but if you think our coaches are currently inferior, I would gladly take success on the field over any coach development goals

God forbid, let no man put Nsiens name by any loser coach that will run away from his responsibilities once kitchen gets a little warm and then blame witches for his misfortunes. Abeg we cover Nsien with the blood of Jesus, my towns men do NOT behave in such a way…God forbid! Tufiakwa! I support him 100% for the SE job!

As the zero hour approaches for the must win double header AFCON qualifier against the Pharaohs of Egypt on March 23, Sports Vanguard can reveal the real reasons why coach Sunday Oliseh may continue to tinker the Eagles from his base in Belgium.

After contracting a virus in one of his official assignments, camp sources informed that the former Juventus player has alleged occultic manipulations by his enemies on his life and has vowed to flee far from the country to where they could not fly to attack him.

“He is always scared in camp and suspicious of even members of his back room staff”, a close source to the team informed.

The source said that the outspoken coach allegedly confronted his staff and warned them that there were many witches and wizards who were trying to undermine the success of the Eagles.

“He warned those fond of putting their hands in their pockets before shaking him to desist or keep their handshakes as he feared they touch objects concealed in their pockets before offering to shake him”, the source said.

CONSIDER THE OPTIONS


Do you prefer short-term gains, assuming only a foreign coach gives you that (which is not true), or sustainable long-term success which you get by hiring indigenes now and let them grow?

I hope this Vanguard story is not true sha. What's the use of spending many years abroad but you still believe in Jazz?

While I agree with you that what you call “short-term gains” is not the exclusive preserve of foreign coaches, on the other hand, I totally disagree with you that “long-term success” is only the preserve of local coaches.

If you compromise yourself from the beginning then you don compromise yourself permanently be dat.
It’s better he says what he feels now, so they know where he stands. Take it or leave it.
He won’t get them to change if he gets in saying only the nice things they want to hear.

He doesn’t ‘need’ the job because he’s already on an upward career trajectory, unlike many if not most of his stagnant competitors. He can afford to say it exactly as it is.
