This is the story of NFF in short.

NFF is our problem, not coaches/players.

repogirl:
Hmmmmm, but why shuaibu amodu, isn't he the one who couldn't get eagles to qualify for world cup finals, one time like that? How they forget so easily!

Incorrect Amodu qualified us for the world cup bt was sacked and foreign coach employed Amodu has always qualified us for various tournament ...Bt he is like d moses of Nigerian football he nevers enters d promise land

Keshi at a time was his assistant keshi learnt under him

Amodu not a bad choice

[b]The truth about Amodu is that he is a scrappy Coach..


He gets the job done, but very unconvincingly.. The NFA (as it was called then) never gave Amodu the opportuinity to fail before hanging him. Keshi can leave with the knowledge that he indeed excelled as our coach.

now i am certain that u are not Nigerian...in which world cup did Lars Lagerback coach Nigeria

Icecomrade:
Wrong timing. NFf has ruined any chance of qualification. And for those headless Nigerians celebrating, I don't know how well you ve thought out how this is going to affect your team.

The boys are loyal to Keshi, Amodu can't get that loyalty.
See the way they celebrated with the coaching crew after their coaching crew yesterday after the victory, and you think they will excited about this news.

You think they are all chicken brained to forget that Nigerians are ungrateful, quick to forget sacrifices and castigate at every little set back.

You think inviting Obafemi, Ike and Iheanacho wil make Amodu the goood guy and singulary give Nigeria ticket to d Nations cup!

NFF. Has failed to put their house in order by concluding Keshi contract issues to give him time to prepare for the oncomng task. They are quick to sack for their own failure.

Nigerian called for Keshi sack, what other alternative was available other than Amodu and Siasia? Atleast they got one. My opinion: None of these two guys is a match for Keshi.

I ll be back on Nairaland to celebrate the failure on this senseless decison.

yes o we'all be back to educate folks here that our problem is not coaching but the useless nff who has no plan for our football

spoilt child ..all i am saying is that u don know what u are saying

arsetalks:
How about making your point clear and stop been so a spoilt child?

HayWhyLawal:

we played under Largerback then. Lost to Argentina, Greece and drew S/Korea

Sorry..it was 2006 WC that was in my mind.

natureblack:
you amuse me,you sound too confident in Amodu and you sure going to be hugely disappointed.



It's a wrong call from NFF,more like putting the cart before the horse.

Na bro,When Keshi won d Afcon,it wasn't tactics go download and watch the games.The players needed the win,we had no tactics ,but sheer individual brilliance from mostly Moses,Ideye and Mba. Amodu might not have won anything ,but check the games he has handled for us.We always play our wing games with some solid defensive midfield plays ,covering our centre backs.And pls go back to the 2002 world cup qualifiers,Amodu turned Aiyegbeni to a monster striker,even though he never made it to the world cup ,due to politics.We always play very well under Amodu.

In which world cup did our very own Yakubu Aiyegbeni make history by missing a sitter...Its obvious u started watching football after 2013 nations cup

“The Federation appreciated his effort for the

“We have decided to sponsor him and his technical

choice of their coaching school to acquire for more

this is very mature of the NFF

He is a success that's why NFF kept calling him back

Why Amodu Shuaibu must take the Super Eagles to the World Cup in South Africa in 2010

Following my article with the title “Sack Coach Amodu Shuaibu for taking Nigeria to the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.”, there has been a lot of reaction in the media with all diverse views as is Nigeria. Like I stated in that article, I still stand by the fact that Amodu Shuaibu has the experience and the qualifications and qualities to perform very well at the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

Before I decided to put pen to paper for this article, I decided first to check the web site of the Nigeria Football Federation to check my facts.

Nigeria played her first official or unofficial game in October 1949 in England under one John Finch as the Coach. Since 1949 up to date, Nigeria has had 34 Coaches made up of Nigerians and foreigners alike. Coach Amodu Shuaibu has had the privilege of coaching the Super Eagles on three occasions in 1996-1997, 2001-2002 and 2008 to date.

The ultimate dream of every football coach or player is to player in the world cup.

Amongst the 31 Coaches that have taken charge of the Green Eagles turned Super Eagles in 1988, no coach whatsoever has equaled the performance of Coach Shuaibu Amodu since record began. It is he who has had the singular honor of qualifying the Nigerian senior national team two times out of four. Clement Westerhof and Bora Milutinovic came distant second with one slot each in 1994 and 1998 respectively.

When it comes to the African Cup of Nations he did not do badly either as he was able to get a Bronze at 2002. The only coaches who faired better than his performance at the Africa Cup of Nations were Clement Westerhof in 1994 got Gold. Otto Gloria in 1980 got Gold while Manfred Hoener and Jo Bonfrere got Silver in 1988 and 2000 respectively. But logically and by world standard Coach Amodu Shuaibu's performance have superseded theirs since he has two world cup qualifications in his kitty. But above all no local or Nigerian coach so far have performed like him. Please check the Nigeria Football Federation web site for confirmation. But for the fact that Nigeria withdrew from the 1996 African Cup of Nations in South Africa, Amodu Shuaibu would have probably won the Cup for Nigeria. On the three occasions he has been in charge, he has always qualified the Super Eagles to Africa Cup of Nations.

I am wondering what some Nigerians expect of him? I believe if every Nigerian has done his duties like Coach Shuaibu Amodu there is no need to start branding or re-branding ala Dora Akunyili. As Nigerians in Diaspora, Coach Shuaibu Amodu has done us proud especially here in England. Coach Shuaibu Amodu has done in one swoop what Dora Akunyili's re-branding cannot do with over One billion Naira down the drain. Listening to commentaries and discussion on BBC Radio Five, already Nigeria is being classified as a strong team at the world cup.


I still repeat that what Coach Amodu Shuaibu needs now is not unnecessary detraction but total support from all and sundry whether you are a Senator or an ordinary Nigerian like me.

As I am writing this article this evening, England's preparation for the world cup is in top gear. Please let us leave Coach Amodu Shuaibu to consolidate on his performance rather detracting his attention. He has been the best out of 31 men over 60 years can any body disprove that or take that away from him? He must cap his career by taking the Super Eagles to the World Cup in South Africa next year.

That is why Nigeria as a country is performing poorly in developmental project. Instead of supporting those who are doing the nation proud, some few individuals will run them down or are it pull him down? Coach Shuaibu Amodu has done a great feat again by qualifying the Super Eagles for another world cup. Whoever wants him sacked can wait till after the world cup in South Africa next year. For now he has brought Glory again to Nigeria, the only local or Nigerian national to have done that so far and even twice.

Coach Shuaibu Amodu must ripe the fruit of his labour this time.

Anything short of allowing him to take his wining team to South Africa is against natural justice, equity and good conscience.

How can somebody pass a very hard examination entered into by 208 candidates and one is amongst the lucky 32 yet one's certificate is given to somebody else. Is that fair? Otherwise ask the Republic of Ireland. The news analysis on BBC says that by qualifying for world cup alone, the French economy will make about one billion US dollars. I do not know what the monetary value will be to the Nigerian economy, but one thing I know it has brought glory to us and the Nigerian nation, it has reduced the negative image on us Nigerians here in the UK. Amodu Shuaibu, God bless you and your star will continue to shine please do not disappoint us when you take the Super Eagles to South Africa next year. The Federal Government please make money available for him now to start preparation for the African Cup of Nations and the World Cup. Our great Coach Amodu farewell in South Africa 2010.

pls watch Aiyegbenis game under Amodu,he was a goal beast!

many nigerians r INGRATES. Is dis not d same keshi who aided us to win last year africa nations cup? Is he nt d same person who took us to world cup? Nw, things seem nt to be going well for him, u people began to detest him, shouting he should be replaced. Na wah oh.
Truly, owo epo laraye bani la, won n ki bani la teje.

StealthyMe:


Oga Boss na so we see am oo...So Amodu is the best Nigeria can get ; Its all good (Tactically Hollow coach...bt qualifies us)

Pinnick ....what does he know abt football sef ?

Finally.........

Welcome Back Yakubu Aiyegbeni

stealth i fit bet say we no go qualify but dats just me. And yes a big wlcm bck to d yak attack and nigerians should prepare demselves for d worst football dey will eva see. It's gona b an EYE SORE

padeolu:
Isn't amodu as useless as keshi?

Why not bring in a better interim coach, why Amodu of all people??

you refer to a person that qualified nigeria for two worldcups as useless. smh

Right before the match he already knew he would be sacked. What was on his mind was to leave on a victorious note and also how to get his salary.


I just hope they don't give Amokachi any future coaching job in Nigeria; the guy no dey try atal.

Bt where has he been coaching sef?

Finally!
Someone with a sense of football history. Amodu does not play convincing soccer but he has always achieved results. Always! Statistics have been quite favorable to him.

Emmysteve:
Back to square zero. I am never a fan of hiring and firing of coaches every here and then. In 2011 October precisely, i kicked against the sacking of Samson Siasia but Nigerians insisted that he must go, cursing and calling him all manners of names; but i stood by him until Keshi came on board to change the Fortune of the team.
Today, the same people calling Siasia names are the people insulting the Big Boss. Some people even go as far as cursing his family!.....
I am happy today that I still stood by Keshi despite all the cricism. I am his fan and I will continue to be his fan until the next coach achieved beyond what Keshi did. For now i will hang my boots and watch as the drama unfolds.

My brother Siasia deserved 2 be sacked, not qualitying super eagles 4 d 2012 nations cup is a big crime!!! Dats d truth. As 4 keshi he did his best esp winning nations cup 4 Nigeria, but honestly even @ dat nations cup and esp during d cup and other matches his limited tactical knwoledge was exposed. He also was too proud and refused 2 learn, he should have allowed d NFF 2 get some back room staff 4 him. Big coachs do ve back room staff d watch d match in d dressing room nd analyze it, den send report 2 d coach on d pitch 4 him 2 make d final decisions. Example was against France in d last world cup. D back room staff told dere coach d Onazi was d engine room nd so they tactically eliminated him by giving him injury nd afta dat dat took contol of d game and scored 2goals. ( Watch dat match nd see dat d tackle dat caused onazis injury was highly intentional nd he was been targeted since afta d half tym) So Keshi pride and ego let him down. But as 4 me dey should ve waited till d end of d group matches b4 sacking him. Appionting Amoudu?? Anoda limited tactisian, although truth b told he has a good record of qualifying d eagles 2 any tournament. But na Moses him be 4 d national team, always qaulifying dem but not going/ leading dem 2 d tournament. Lolz

Chanchit:
Hallelujah. I love this news. Atleast he will bring back Martins, the Uches possibly Iheanacho and Taiwo.

You are wonderful.. so much ignorance from one man#

Keshi is even better. He won us something in a less time and showcased new faces
