EMMANUEL AMUNIKE AND FINIDI GEORGE COMBO
Sweden was managed by T. Söderberg and L. Lagerbäck for 4 years (2000-2004). We can adopt a similar model too.
Employ Emmanuel Amunike and Finidi George to handle the SE and provide them the same support that was offered Rohr. We will see the return of our darling SE!
NFF, give the job to Amunike and Finidi! already!

Boom...just like that, our SE will return and start qualifying the beautiful way. Unfortunately for them African coaches have been rules out. They want a Eastern European coach.
OCCUPY NFF!!

Give the job to Amunike and Finidi!
But I've asked this before - why do you think they need to co-manage?
Isn't this an indication that you feel that individually they do not have what it takes?
Is this not a little disrespectful to them as qualified coaches?
Just wondering. You are not the first person that has suggested this.

Re: EMMANUEL AMUNIKE AND FINIDI GEORGE COMBO
If this is indeed the case then it is clear that it is Pinnick driving the process. Oh well, he is the President. He has this fascination with an Eastern European coach even before he was persuaded to hire Oliseh. At that time (and perhaps now?) he had a specific guy in mind who once managed the Black Stars in Ghana. For me the important thing is that whoever it is must be able to manage the political process with the media and the public.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 3:12 pm Boom...just like that, our SE will return and start qualifying the beautiful way.

But why rule out the likes of Amuneke? In my view, that is a slippery slope to role out any Nigerian from the get go. That is a political blooper right there.

Re: EMMANUEL AMUNIKE AND FINIDI GEORGE COMBO
Finidi seems to be doing a decent job at Enyimba so far, i think he needs to get some more time there to acquire more coaching experience under his belt... Amunike has more experience and should be given the job.

Re: EMMANUEL AMUNIKE AND FINIDI GEORGE COMBO
So yall are clamoring for a guy who finished DEAD LAST at the last AFCON.
Hell no.
And stop all this "na Tanzania he qualify" nonsense.
Dude couldn't even manage a draw against Kenya.
Since he was fired Tanzania has managed to beat both Benin and Madagascar (2 afcon quarterfinalists) and drew against DR Congo. They also drew against Tunisia (afcon semifinalist) All of these teams are much better than Kenya who beat Amunekes team.
Bottom line Amunike did nothing special with Tanzania, and in fact Tanzania has significantly improved AFTER Amuneke was fired. The results I posted proves it.
Hell no.

Re: EMMANUEL AMUNIKE AND FINIDI GEORGE COMBO
It was the confidence he gave the team after qualifying them for the first time in 39 years that has led them to improve. First qualification in 39 years...you can't deny that. Just the same way you can't wish away the 2013 ANC.vancity eagle wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 3:58 pm So yall are clamoring for a guy who finished DEAD LAST at the last AFCON.

Football is not Mathematics bro! Even the world best coaches have coached teams that fell to much inferior opponents. It is not always linear in football.

Coaching combo or coaching by committee is never a good thing. For one it might create a fractured allegiance for the players and most importantly depicts an allusion that no one is specifically in charge.doctorollie wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 3:07 pm Sweden was managed by T.

NFF, give the job to Amunike and Finidi! already!
At this stage in his career Amunike would be my logical choice. He has the pedigree and has proven a successful stint at the national level haven guided the Tanzanian national team to the 2019 nations cup. He is also familiar with a core of the SE players. He coached Osimhen and Chukwueze in the 2015 U-17 world cup and might be persuaded to bring in fresher faces to the team. Players like Nwakali will certainly welcome the invitation.
This is 2021. We shouldn't be looking at Europeans as knights in shining armor to coach us as first options. Nigeria used to play with a discernible pattern of free flowing and attacking soccer with power. We have lost the pattern. Amunike might resurrect it.
A Person convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

A slight variation might be Amunike as Head coach and Finidi as his assistant?

I was surprised and sense that you simply made that statement tongue-in-cheek.
First, it is a recipe for disasters as they say too many cooks spoil the ..... The reality is that there must be ONE LEADER. The guy where the buck stops. The one who takes responsibility. This idea of joint coaching makes little sense and by the way we have tried it before it it failed woefully.

Re: EMMANUEL AMUNIKE AND FINIDI GEORGE COMBO
I think you are looking at Finidi through a nostalgic lens. He has not won or proven anything at this stage in his coaching career. A very good player does not automatically translate to a good coach. Finidi needs some time. If Amunike is appointed as the new coach he should be given unfettered access and rights to choose whomever he wants in his team. If he chooses Finidi, great! But no one should impose anybody on him.doctorollie wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 5:35 pmAbbey wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 4:59 pmCoaching combo or coaching by committee is never a good thing.
