No Going Back On Foreigntechnical Director, Says NFA by Tolexander: 10:27pm On Feb 14, 2013
Abuja - The Nigeria Football
Association (NFA) said on
Thursday in Abuja that there
was no going back on its
plan to hire a foreign
technical director for the
national teams.
Mr Emaka Inyama, a board
member and Chairman of
NFA Media and Publicity
Committee, said there had
not been any rebuttal to the
arrangement since Musa
Amadu, the General Secretary
of the NFA, disclosed the plan
in 2012.
Inyama, who was fielding
questions from journalists at
news conference, said that
the idea was to have a
template for football
development in the country.
“There has not been any
rebuttal since the general
secretary said so; so, we are
going ahead with the plan.
“What we have always said is
that there is a need for us to
develop a structure and a
template for football
development in this country.
“That is the beauty of a
technical director. He doesn’t
coach the teams but he will
be able to say this is the
mode of scouting,
equipment and so on.
“Every federation in the
world has it; even at club
level, they do it (employ
technical director) and I
don’t think there is anything
wrong with it,’’ Inyama said.
The NFA board member, who
is also the chairman of the
Nigerian National League
(NNL), said there was no
need for the hues and cries
by Nigerians on the matter,
as it would not interfere with
the job of any coach.
On Keshi’s resignation saga,
Inyama explained that his
job as the Super Eagles’ Head
Coach was intact.
“The programme we gave to
you was submitted by Keshi,
if we have plans to do away
with him, we will not ask him
to submit his programme for
2014 and the World Cup.
“If Keshi was to go, will you
pay him ahead to motivate
him without holding back?
“If there are issues, can’t
they be resolved. Should they
be a national issue after we
won the trophy?
According to him, the NFA
should be commended for
the feat achieved by the
Super Eagles’ rather than
being criticised.
Inyama, however, advised
Nigerians to criticise the
board constructively, adding
that the Eagles’ excelled in
South Africa because of the
enabling environment
provided by the NFA for it to
succeed.
Keshi has expressed concern
over the plan by the NFA to
hire a foreign technical
director for the national
team.
There are also fears that the
foreigner can usurp the job
of the coach. (NAN)

why must you insult everybody base on their own decision. Why senseless? Or you think they are not old enough to act on their own? Remember these people are some children's parents.
They aren't senseless for your information, just that they refused to be sensible and decided to trail and die in the path of foolishness.

You are unknowingly being sarcastic.

Why insisting?

They performed well,

1. They're insisting because some people are making money from a planted foreign coach

2. Some are not still happy that Steven K. refused to listen to their enhanced stupidity ( federal character / quota system) in selecting the players, he insisted on merit.


Which country on earth does not promote merit? Must a particular region of the country always insist on dragging everybody backwards?

They want to deny Johnathan the opportunity of being the first Nigerian president to welcome home the world cup. Keshi did well, he should be begged to come back and continue.
