He makes no sense, CAF does not require a Uefa license. The requirement is that all coaches must have a CAF license but a Uefa license is acceptable for those that do not have a CAF license. Just like a Soctor from the US doesn’t have to go to medical school in Nigeria to practice medicine in Rivers state. Onku is clueless.Cellular wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 4:52 pmLOL, dis my uncle sef. You make a very valid point.1naija wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2024 1:21 pm Why should a UEFA License be a requirement for a Nigerian coach with CAF License to coach a Nigerian team? That's like saying an SAT and GRE or GMAT should be a requirement for getting admission into a university in Nigeria. I am not making an arguing for Finidi to be the coach or not, but it's stupid for a CAF National team to make a UEFA lincense a requirement to coach the team. We would not ask a Brazilian or Argenitinian coach to provide a UEFA licence if he applied for the job. No one has asked Randy Waldrum for his UEFA lincense, yet we were begging him to re-sign with the Super Falcon.

As long as there is a UEFA Pro license equivalent (in substance) that can be attained. Footy management should not be different from obtaining ICAN, ACCA or other professional designations.

He's currently an Assistant Coach with the US National team and is also the substantive Head Coach of the US u19 team. A Nigerian through and through, he was part of our Olympic team that failed to qualify for the 2004 Olympics. He has the UEFA Pro, UEFA A, and USSF A Licenses.
Although I truly find no use for these licenses beyond their service as a gate, if that is the rile then that is a more legitimate reason to bar Finidi than the lousy claim that he lost a friendly.
