Amodu is one Nigeria’s best local coaches, owing to the records he has attained with the national team Despite the glories he has took the senior national team to, he also is the most unfairly treated of every local coach that have managed the Super Eagles 1.Amodu first coached Nigeria as caretaker through 1995 to 1996 during the time of Bonfrere Jo, he was deposed in between and recalled after the Dutch man resigned. But he was sacked in January 1997 for "poor performance, insubordination and disobedience" after a 1-1 away draw with Kenya in a qualifying match for the 1998 World Cup. From there he moved on South African club, Orlando Pirates 2.1998 would be a comeback for Amodu Shaibu who was returning from South Africa and he stayed on till 1999, but was demoted under a foreign technical Adviser, Bonfrere Jo who led Nigeria to the Ghana/Nigeria 2000 Nations Cup and was fired afterwards. Amodu was put in charge in 2001 3.In 2001, Amodu qualified the Super Eagles for the 2002 World Cup; becoming the second coach after Clemence Westerhoff and the first local manager to achieve this feat. He was sacked months before the tournament kicked off and NFF technical member at that time, Adegboye Onigbinde took charge 4.In April 2008, the 56 year-old was reappointed as head coach and would take the Super Eagles to a third place finish in 2010 Nations Cup and qualifying them to South Africa 2010 but again would be undermined by the NFF after they made him second fiddle to Swede Lars Lagerback; he was made demoted to the Super Eagles team B which he rejected and was fired on February 6, 2010 5.Amodu Shaibu has coached in almost every cadre of Nigerian football, except for the women team, winning the 2002 and 2010 Bronze medal in two AFCON tournaments. He remains one of the most under-respected lcal coach in Nigeria. 5 Likes 1 Share
