terzurum5:NFF, you see what happens when you offer jobs to kangaroo coaches simply because they are pale-skinned? See this one moaning about an idiotic FIFA-ranking, we haven't even played one game and he can already see his failure, hence his refusal to take the job. Amodu was raising the dead from the ashes when he was alive and this one is admiring FIFA ranking that ranked Belgium number one Tomorrow, when Salisu qualifies the team for the World Cup, this anumanu will come forward to steal his glory and take the team to Russia. Opportunists, all of them! These foreign coaches are never willing to work for things, but will happily revel in someone else's glory. In fact, if I hear anybody mention foreign coach again on this thread till after that World Cup.... *collects thegoodjoe's plank*.. .. I will plank sense into that person's head 2 Likes 1 Share |

The 20-year-old featured for the Hornets U21 team in their 2-2 draw with Chivas in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Tuesday afternoon. Hailed as the Nigerian Messi, Ogo Obi opened his account in pre-season, scoring Watford’s first goal from the penalty spot. Meanwhile, Super Eagles star Odion Ighalo and Ikechi Anya are with the first team and took part in the friendly against Union Berlin at Stadion St. Andrä this evening, which ended 3-1 in favour of the English side.

[b][size=14pt] Go For Westerhof, Bonfrere Or Siasia-Eseka [/size]  Peter Edema Lagos – The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has been advised against appointing a neophyte as coach of the Super Eagles on the premise that it is too late in the day for the World Cup qualifying tournament. Rather, the NFF was told to go for coaches who have managed the team in the past, since they don’t have to start studying the players. In this category are Clemence Westerhof, Bonfrere Jo and Samson Siasia, who need not apply for the job again. There is also Salisu yusuf, Austin Eguavoen and Christian Chukwu. Chris Eseka, FIFA Accredited Players’ Agent, who said this on Tuesday following Paul Le Guen’s rejection of the Super Eagles’ job noted that it was a blessing in disguise that the Frenchman did not accept the offer. Le Guen, he said, would have failed because he would need a minimum of 18 months to study Nigerian players. “Why employ a coach, who doesn’t know the mentality of your players. He will need a minimum of 18 months to study your players and understand their mentality. Whatever pattern you have in your head as a coach, you need to know the players that will fit into your pattern. “The mentality of Nigerian players is different from European players, even other African players, so for a new coach to come, he will need about two years to study them and how to relate with them. “I will recommend that the NFF turn to coaches that have managed the team in the past, considering the time lag before the World Cup qualifiers. “I will recommend Westerhof who has showed interest in coaching the team, Bonfere Jo, who have equally showed interest. However, if they don’t want to go for these coaches, I think Siasia is their best option in this circumstance. “I would have recommended Stephen Keshi but he is no more. It’s sad that Keshi is dead, he would have been the best option in this circumstance,” said Eseka. He said that Le Guen was a failure as an African coach, noting that at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, though he qualified Cameroon for the tournament, he was a failure in terms of managing the players. There were disciplinary problem in the team. http://independentnig.com/2016/07/20/go-for-westerhof-bonfrere-or-siasia-eseka/ [/b] |

safarigirl: I will still say it. Organize a tough friendly match before the qualifiers. Against foreign team like Belgium or Spain. Check if Coach Salisu is good enough. If he delivers, let him continue. I do not understand this Pinnick man. Seriously. As much as I like Coaches who plays the beautiful brand of the game, there is nothing far this man will offer that Coach Amunike can not offer. Coach Amunike played the Tiki Taka wella even more than this Paul Le Guen. Coach Amunike is even a graduate from a coaching school that teaches these principles. Amaju Pinnick is just out to continue disgracing us. Give the coach your terms. If he does not agree, leave him and let our coaches continue their work. Pinnick should stop these distractions. The boys are ready to play for Coach Salisu Yusuf. Allow them move on. 1 Like |

[b][size=14pt] Don’t Blame Siasia, If Nigeria Fail – Nwosu [/size]  Chibuike Chukwu Lagos Henry Nwosu (MON), former Super Eagles captain, believes that the Ministry of Sports and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) were not fair to Samson Siasia and the U-23 team ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympics. Nwosu said that the team lacked adequate preparation ahead of the Games, warning that nobody should blame the coach if the team fails in Brazil. He said that the lip service to the Olympics preparation was not limited to football alone, while blaming what may likely be a fruitless Olympics participation in Brazil on the authorities. “Sincerely, I feel for Siasia because he did not have the best of trainings going into the Olympic Games. Things are not done that way and believe me, if care is not taking, the Dream Team will not represent Nigeria well in Brazil after all that we have achieved at that level,” he said. “How can the sports ministry and the NFF allow such poor preparation to the point I learnt that the team was stranded in the United States? The coach shouldn’t be blamed for any poor performance at the Games.” Continuing, Nwosu lashed at the authorities for the overall poor preparation of Nigerian contingents to the Olympic Games, saying that the authorities should be held accountable should team Nigeria fails. “Based on the reports that we get, I have this feelings that this Olympic Games may be difficult for Team Nigeria. But if it turns out so, the authorities should be ready to bear the blames because they have failed to prepare Nigerian athletes for the events,” he said. http://independentnig.com/2016/07/19/dont-blame-siasia-if-nigeria-fail-nwosu/ [/b] 1 Like |

The Difference between Le Guen and Salisu Yusuv is colour of the skin and nothing more. Show me Coach Le Guen's CV then I will tell you Nigerian Coaches are equal to the task. All we need is a long term approach. Lets hire our own home based Coaches and give them the necessary sponsorship for refresher courses, exposure and the motivation to succeed. Le Guen may not take us anywhere. I repeat if we can't hire grade 'A' Coaches then we should forget it. [size=14pt] Yusuf Not Good For Eagles – Okpara [/size]  Steve Oma-Ofozor Lagos Godwin Okpara has said that the Super Eagles of Nigeria deserve a quality coach noting that Salisu Yusuf does not have the necessary experience to handle the team. The former Eagles defence ace made the statement recently while responding to the employment of a coach for the senior national team. According to Okpara who was in the Eagles’ France ’98 World Cup squad, “I know Yusuf has been coaching in the local scene and doing well; but he doesn’t really have what it takes, the necessary experience to handle the Super Eagles.” In this regard, Okpara affirmed Le Guen for the job: “Eagles need a quality and experience coach in the calibre of Le Guen. This is a coach I know very well; his record in Europe and Africa has been very good.” The former Nigerian U-17 star also asserted that a quality and experienced coach would add some credence to the performance of the players in all ramification. “If a quality and experienced coach is handling a team, it will build up the confidence of the players which will also add to their performance,” he said. It would be recalled that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) shortlisted three coaches for the Eagles plum job which also included Tom Saintfeit of Belgium. http://independentnig.com/2016/07/19/yusuf-not-good-for-eagles-okpara/ |

terzurum5: What is so exceptional about Salisu Yusuf's C.V? Having managed Elkanemi warriors, Kano pillars and Enyimba and being 2nd assistant to Siasia and Keshi. I mean it's not like he has been pulling up trees in our local league. Even the NPFL he won with Kano, its questionable because he benefited from board room points. Yes I understand he's got advantage because he's on ground but his CV those not have any "wow" factor. Am sorry |

goldfish80: That is why I said we should test before jumping. I doubt Paul Le Guen would cope with the situation of our local League. It is a tough terrain. Paul Le Guen is not spectacular if we take away his spell at Lyon. He is also a volatile person. So there is no guarantee his trophies. He does not want targets. I would like to see us test what we have before looking outside. |

goldfish80:Claudio Ranieri's CV did not have any wow factor before Leicester, yet he achieved the impossible with a bunch of average players Never underestimate the influence of a good coach on his team. That cohesiveness snd bond between coach and players is what wins games. If the players are happy with the coach, they will lay their lives on the field for his honour, look what happened with Keshi snd the 2013 AFCON team, now compare that with what happened to Mourinho with Chelsea last season All this CV talk is overrated. Le Guen's CV is an eyesore, if he couldn't qualify Oman from a weak Asian federation and flopped with the great Indomitable lions, what makes him better than Yusuf that won NPLF with Kano Pillars? All we need is a coach the players are happy with and I bet you, Salisu can even win Algeria with Amuneke's boys 3 Likes 2 Shares |

TheGoodJoe: Honestly speaking, PLG hasn't had much success since leaving Lyon. Naturally, he's quite an authoritarian and loves establishing control, this hasn't won him much friends that's why he hasn't had any gig in Europe since 2008. Even when the Australians wanted to hire him when they binned Pim Veerbek, at the last minute the deal fell through. The major reason why I was taken by the idea of him as Super eagles coach was because, I believed he would go an extra mile to make an impact to restore his fledgling reputation. He's at an age where it's make or mar for him, I believe it would have worked in our favour. Salisu Yusuf is just not the answer, I don't know how the press has managed to build him up that majority of Nigerians feel he is the messiah. Personally, I would want the NFF to get someone like Tata Martino or Allejandro Sabbella (the Argentine coach to the last World Cup). People like these guys could do a good job for us. Their clime and ours aren't much different with the way they do things. It could be a perfect fit |

goldfish80: No one thinks Coach Salisu Yusuf is the messiah. Far from it. However, he built himself to where he is and looks like a good candidate. We can not know if he can deliver if we do not give him the chance. Tata and Sabella will be too expensive for us. Also, there is no guarantee they will succeed. I say we give Salisu a chance and see if he is capable. If he shows promising signs, we keep him. He already has the devotion and loyalty of the players. Let us give them a chance than imposing someone they would not like. Remember, the Rangers team revolted against Le Guen. So there is no guarantee he can keep these boys happy with his strict methods. |

safarigirl: I disagree with you. I don't know why people keep digging up Claudio Ranieri when making an argument like he's a nobody in Europe. For goodness sake, this man has handled almost all the major clubs in Europe bar Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich... He's managed big European teams back to back like Valentia, Inter, Athletico Madrid, Juve just name it. He's a renowned professional. His case is miles different from Salisu Yusuf. Infact, Salisu was never the main assistant to Siasia, Kalika was. He was never the main assistant to Keshi, the Togolese guy Valerie and Okpara was. No disrespect, Salisu was just a support staff so to speak. He simply doesn't have the pedigree. Especially with the quality of the teams in our group. You don't go to a gun battle armed with a club. 2 Likes |

TheGoodJoe: I think with the amount being touted for PLG, a Sabella can sign the dotted lines at the said amount (a contract of $1.5m). Am not sure he was paid more than that at Estudiantes. The Rangers team were full of bullies like Barry ferguson etall who were angry because PLG took away their burgers, ketchups and muster munch and placed them on diet. They couldn't keep up with his training regimen of doing endurance race. The Rangers players were simply not ready to be taken to the next level not the managers fault. |

honestly i'm in a quandary as to this annoying super eagles coach issue. in an ideal situation i would prefer a young ambitious foreign coach in the mold of bruno metsu, rene hevard, etc but unfortunately we are far from an ideal situation so local coach it is. but can we entrust salisu with such a sensitive assignment? hmm i no know ooo when we went for keshi and amodu of blessed memory atleast they had experience but salisu just has assistant to his belt. maybe like someone suggested we should go for one serbian they have thick skin (to put up with the nff and their bs) and they are quite tactical |

Westerhof succeeded in Nigeria because he was a rebel. He gave NFF as much wahala as he received.. He also had the ears of the presidency. In spite of that, he worked under very difficult conditions. Westerhof was willing to stay in Nigeria and view league games. Very few foreign coaches will do that. 20 years later, nothing has changed in the NFF. No coach has ever had a smooth working relationship. We need help.. 1 Like |

safarigirl: If you ask me,then Siasia has done nothing wrong. Absolutely nothing, he has just been a victim of bad circumstances. The first time, our qualification had already been messed up, he came and if not for some school boy errors and misses we would have qualified(you really need to watch that Guinea game again). Under Siasia we outplayed our opponents hands down, we beat Argentina, and even when they got their starts together, it was a howler by Mikel that and Aiyenugba that cost us the game. For me right now, Siasia is the best local coach we have, maybe soon Amunike will join, but we saw what happened to Manu, so I maintain that Siasia will be the best local coach on a long term plan. |
