If they feel that is too insurmountable a task, then why on earth are they applying for the job ?
I see the local coach advocates ARE ALREADY MAKING EXCUSES in case their man who has been an utter failure as a national team coach in his previous stint FAILS AGAIN.
There are no excuses. 8 out of 10 matches remain. That is more matches than we played in the last 2 world cup qualifying campaigns.
If we fail to qualify it is on the new coach. At the very least 80% of the blame is.

EIGHT MATCHES PLENTY, BUT WHY ERASE THE MARGIN OF ERROR
You can't afford to give points away so instead of cruising to qualification every match becomes more of a "must win". The ability of the coach is not the only factor to consider. What about, we forbid, injuries to multiple key players, referee action or loss of form? And if Peseiro can only bag draws against the concensus minnows, one of them a home match, what can we expect against the stronger teams?
AND WHY THE HECK DID THE FOREIGN COACH ADVOCATES NOT CALL FOR HIS HEAD ON A PLATTER? DID THEY THINK THEY WERE MEANINGLESS FRIENDLIES?
Bell
Rohr qualified us from a group of death and even dashed away 3 points for playing Shehu when he was ineligible.
Our new coach has EIGHT MATCHES. He even has plenty of room to make even more errors.
If he cannot qualify us he has no business being coach.
You guys are so lame and pathetic you are already .making excuses with EIGHT REMAINING MATCHES.
SO YOU'RE SAYING IT'S OKAY TO WIPE OUT THE MARGIN OF ERROR?
I've said eight games are plenty to clean up the mess of another foreign coach (hello Johannes Bonfrere). But that's assuming everything goes well. Now the team cannot afford injuries, a flat turnout or coaching mistakes. Why not qualify ASAP and use the balance of matches for tuneups? Making excuses? Nope. Because its hasn't even been confirmed that the job is going to a Nigerian.
And I ask again, why were the foreign coach advocates not up in arms?
Bell
This is the kind of excuse making we (and now Siasia) are talking about. When a foreign coach loses, it's not his fault (as if other countries and other coaches don't deal with injuries) and the foreign advocates are quick to absolve him ("it's not his fault") but when a Nigerin loses a meaningless friendly, it is considered full proof of his incompetence.

South Africa was our only competition, but they're notoriously inconsistent, as they've already proven with just two games played.
I expect even an average coach to top the group unless there are other deeper issues with the team, like lack of bonus payment, etc.

The new coach would be judged on the remaining 8 matches. Peseiro was a poor coach. That has been concluded and closed.

Well, the record is that currently we are in a hole..... in third place behind two countries in a group that Nigeria is seeded No. 1. Well, it was not a local Manager that has Nigeria in that hole. Let that sink in. Nigeria got into that hole under an FC. Let that sink in.

Owngoal now reporting that Amuneke hasn't been confirmed yet.
They also report that the Tanzanians are CLOWNING US for even considering Amuneke.
They say the team has much improved since he left which is evident by their 2 points at the recent AFCON.
Apparently with Tanzania he only won 2 matches and lost 6. This is the kind of joke we want to lead our team. A failed men's national coach, and a failed U20 coach of Nigeria.
He is much worse than a "journeyman" He isn't on a journey, he is LOST.

I am actually not going to blame the new coach if Nigeria fails to qualify for the world cup. It takes time to build a team. There are no more minnows in African football. Nigeria has a lot of injuries and the preparation has been piss poor. You don't even have a coach today.

I have not said that Rohr and Peseiro do not have poor results as well but they have experience of handling the biggest clubs in France and Portugal. Amunike even failed to qualify the U17 WC winners for the AFCON U20. Appointing Amunike is recycling failure! I would prefer Finidi to remain in the position than appoint Amunike!

They loved him deeply as a player. He was their flying winger, when they were in their 20s. And he excited them and gave them job. If they separate that situation from him as a coach, they will NEVER accept him as a coach. Ignore his name and look at his CV and they will NEVER accept such a sh1t CV - NEVER!

Don't take up the job if you are not sure of getting result due to the circumstances surrounding the job. There is no excuse! Don't give us any bs excuse if you fail. This is not about national service, patriotism, lack of familiarity with African football terrain (for FCs), NFF unprofessional approach, team building, learning exercise etc.
Don't pretend to be doing us any favor, in fact do us a huge favor by simply not taking up the job if you can't accept responsibility for the every possible outcome. If you can't get Nigeria through with 8 matches to play then don't apply.

Re: WHO WILL RESCUE Nigeria from the World Cup ABYSS that a foreign Manager put us?.........
Fear Mongering post. Why did you edit the table to remove the wins and losses? Like I have said before, We are in the best position to qualify. We have not lost any game yet. Rwanda is yet to play a road game, and South Africa lost the one road game they have played. We will top the group after June. Mark my words!
After the June games, Nigeria will have 7 points, South Africa will have at best 6 points ( most likely 4 points), and Rwanda will have still have 4 points.

Enugu II wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 1:49 am The fact is that as the NFF continues to politik and all manner of influencers are using the media, state officials, and all tactics to push forward their candidate -- both local and foreign --Nigeria remains tattered on third in its World Cup group. See the table placed below. It was achieved under a foreign manager. It is a position that Nigeria has earned under the managership of foreign coach -- Jose Peseiro of Portugal. Let us not forget that FACT. Two points were lost in a home game under his managership. So it is INCREDIBLE for some to argue that the reason a local manager should not be hired is that the local cannot ensure Nigeria's qualification to a World Cup. A local Manager cannnot assure qualification but a foreign manager cannot do so as well.
Yet, years ago, we were in similar predicament under the managership of Johaness Bonfrere and it was worse. Nigeria had little margin of error when the NFF eventually summoned courage to fire Johnaess Bonfrere. Shuaibu Amodu, a local, was hired. The rest is history. Amodu ran the table and Nigeria qualified for the World Cup. History may repeat itself yet again.
I have posted this here to inform everyone that not all of us is bereft of history. So when the ignorant argues that no local Manager can qualify Nigeria for the World Cup, we know better. It already happened? The question is: can it happen again? We watch........

South Africa was our only competition, but they're notoriously inconsistent, as they've already proven with just two games played.
I expect even an average coach to top the group unless there are other deeper issues with the team, like lack of bonus payment, etc.
Congrats to the SE for getting the the final of the ANC but the problems are still evident in the number of goals scored during the tournament.
Although our home games have been a problem lately, I believe this is due to admin problems with the team, like non-payment of bonuses, etc.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROBLEMS?
Not the coach?

But Nigeria faces an uphill task to qualify for the WC. Would also ask for a 2 year contract @$75 a month.YemiBrazil wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2024 5:59 pm Don't take up the job if you are not sure of getting result due to the circumstances surrounding the job. There is no excuse! Don't give us any bs excuse if you fail. This is not about national service, patriotism, lack of familiarity with African football terrain (for FCs), NFF unprofessional approach, team building, learning exercise etc.
Don't pretend to be doing us any favor, in fact do us a huge favor by simply not taking up the job if you can't accept responsibility for the every possible outcome. If you can't get Nigeria through with 8 matches to play then don't apply.

There are no more minnows in African football. Nigeria has a lot of injuries and the preparation has been piss poor. You don't even have a coach today. They are leaking reports that an indigenous coach is plan B if they can;t agree wage terms with a foreign coach.
For SE, no one is offering you nada!
