I agree with all Uncle Pinnick said. I am glad he realized Finidi has all these virtues after he left office. It's never too late to preach, do as I say, not as I do like Ole Obasanjo.

Peak Milk needs to get its facts right about Ghana and Nigeria in 30 years. said we have not beaten Ghana until Finidi as a coach recently please we did beat Ghana in 2001 at the 2002 World Cup qualifier group 3-1 or 3-0 and even if I go to a few years back to check records probably at Afcon or some qualifiers not long like that 30 years he said lol.

Yep, even in the 2006 AFCON, we beat Ghana.

the only thing I agreed with him since Nigeria doesn't have big money to spend on the coach, Nigerian Finidi or Amunike should be a head coach with European or foreign technical/fitness trainers, just like Ivory Coast or Senegal or other African nations do now.

He did hint that we can't make a straightforward comparison with our own LC situation.

The data someone posted here doesn't lie. My concern is that too many of these coaches have failed recently, and LC proponents keep giving them excuses. I'm sure Pinnick gave Eguavoen all the support he needed. IMO, that lame 2-0 loss to Mali should consign Finidi to the assistant bench for now.

That is as good as confirmed that Finidi will continue.

If José Peseiro handled AFCON despite his disastrous performance in all matches before then, then it means Finidi will continue despite his mixed bag at friendlies.

The sad thing is he won't have a water-tight contract or earn anything near our WOWO coaches.

Agree that this is almost confirmation that Finidi will continue. Pinnick’s stooge run the NFF so they basically would listen to him.

I have no problem with Finidi continuing, even though his recent litmus test/coaching stint still leaves alot to be desired, but if he is the anointed one...then NFF had better sit up FAST and give him all the tactical and logistical support he will need before the WCQ starts.

The right players should be invited for starters, all this obsession with deadweights has got to stop.

I AGREE WITH AMAJU, BUT...


...he should have spent his time in office, when he had real power, building up Nigerian coaches.

I challenge the advocates of foreign coaches: should the contract contain a clause that says, lose one of the first two friendlies and the contract is rescinded?

And for the one asking for European trainers, the question is "why?" Just because other African countries do it is not reason enough, in my opinion. Didn't they say in Nigeria, if you are going to eat a frog, you go for the grand one? What's all this half measure about?

You will all live to regret this decision. If true.

He gave us enough glimpse of what will be in store should he be coach.

It will be horrific.
