AS Stephen Okechukwu Keshi finally paid the
price after ignoring ominous dark clouds, two
World Class coaches are already in the running
for the job of the Super Eagles. Jorge Luis Pinto and Jose Pekerman, two
international coaches who were outstanding
with their teams in Brazil 2014 World Cup are
being considered for one of them to take over
the reins of Super Eagles. President of NFF, Amaju Melvin Pinnick took
the Bull by the horn on Wednesday when he
asked Keshi, Amokachi and Shorunmu to step
aside and appointed a consortium of coaches
headed by former Eagles coach Amodu Shuaibu
to handle the remaining two matches against Congo and South Africa before stepping aside
for a foreign coach to lead the Eagles. Sports Vanguard scooped yesterday that NFF
officials have approached the two coaches and
are weighing up on their demands before
sealing up the deal. Our source informed that former Costa Rica
coach, Jorge Luis Pinto who took Costa Rica to
their most successful World Cup ever in Brazil is
admired by the Nigerian officials because of
his love for young talents. Costa Rica had their most successful ever
World Cup in Brazil, reaching the last eight for
the first time before going out on penalties to
the Netherlands. Costa Rica who were ranked
outsiders in the World Cup began the
tournament with a stunning 3-1 upset victory over twice champions Uruguay in their opening
Group D match. They followed up with a 1-0 win over four-
times World Cup winners Italy before drawing
0-0 with England. ‘Los Ticos’ then beat Greece
5-3 in a penalty shootout in the last 16
following a 1-1 draw after extra-time. Pinto’s contract ended after the World Cup.
Also, Colombian(Argentine) coach Pekerman is
admired too for Nigerian Eagles because he is a
firm advocate of free-flowing, entertaining
football based on intricate passing. Pekerman
guided Colombia to beat Greece 3-0, beat Cote d’Ívoire 2-1, before flogging Japan 4-1. In the
second round, Colombia beat Uruguay 2-0
before succumbing to hosts Brazil 2-1.
Pekerman moulded a team of young players in
Colombia dictating possessions and quick
interplay to earn respect in Brazil. The two coaches are World Class and would be
expensive but an official of the NFF said that
they would not be bothered by the cost. ‘’We
want the best for Nigeria. We are not going
for journeymen as it were in the past. Things
are going to be done the right way’’, the source insisted.

They are nice coaches. Would love either of them.

No, we want Arsene Wenger

Nff are bunch of jokers, No serious coach can work under the environment we have here for a very long time, am sorry but I think we'll have to settle for those carpenter white skin coaches who keep jumping from one african country to another.

Nff deceiving Nigerians since 1960

if true den I v no problem but they should provide a conducive environment for him.... whoever comes on board should b able to work from nigeria

I think NFF made d right choice. While d white man will be with d super eagles,Siasia will be smwhr developing our young boys.

I will keep stressing that NFF is the problem of 9ja football
The slow thinking n confused NFF empty heads now want to bring a foreigner to take the shit Keshi took from them in the name of patriotism.
Keshi has achieved everything one can think of here in Africa, so this new coach must be ready to surpass this. No foreigner will develop our football for us, it is our duty and this is where keshi fits in.
Furthermore, hiring of fireig coach also puts some cash in the pockets of the NFF mumu.

They dnt care abt d cost
and they could not pay keshi 4 13 months?
I feel pity for the gullible nigerians

do i really care? Make eagle shaa win is my concern,ain't care who d coach is gonna be,moreso,na NFF go stil dey interfare 4 coach player picking mata!

like as if i care,whoever d coach go be,d important thing is dt eagles keep winning every match and NFF should stop interfering in coach tactics

NFF looking for every possible means to dupe nigerians an avenue dat Keshi did not afford dem.........

We can't afford them.. If I hear name of coach wey we fit afford I go know e.g Lars Lagerback, Bora Moltivinocic and co
