that's none of my business *sips yoyo bitters*

Very good. This is better than employing a white man or foreigner as our technical director.

[size=15pt]Nigeria Does Not Need A Foreign Coach – Kuku[/size]

thegoodjoehunt3:
I agree with him with his points, only that, we can only reward those with excellence. So far, Coach Manu Garba has shown identity and philosophy.

Amunike, I have not watched him, however, it looks promising. To move forward, we need to support ours. I agree that.

goldfish80:

I agree with most points uve stated but I think people are getting carried away too much by manu Garba's success. Let's not forget he coached an U17 side and was able to implement his tactics with young and coach-able players.
The senior national team is a different ball game entirely, the dynamics of managing a senior side is totally different from youth football. Ask siasia.
Am of the opinion though, that Manu should be part of the new backroom staff and one of the assistants to a foreign manager preffereably a South American or Dutch manager, where he can easily learn the ropes about senior national team football before he's thrown into the deep end.
Emmanuel amunike is another manager people should keep an eye on. He sat in the same Uefa coaching class with Pep Guadiola.
He was the brains behind the ticki taka football the U17 set of 2013 played. So I heard.

thegoodjoehunt3:
I know Manu Garba needs time to grow. I am talking about the aspect of coaching with a philosophy of the game. As I said, I have not watched Amunike Coach. However, I have big hopes for him.

Amodu Shauibu is not a coach I see with a philosophy. Why give him such a role?

I will take a coach with a philosophy of the game who coached an age grade team than a top coach with no philosophy. Look at what Marcelo Bielsa did for Chile. Even after he left the team, they still play his way. Look at Jose Perkerman, the coach the guy talked about in the video. He is doing the same work for Columbia.

The office of the technical director of a country's football federation is more important than the national team manager in my opinion, because his job description means he is to supervise all levels of football in the country even upto the under13's both men and women.
I guess the nff choose Amodu due to his experience and don't forget, Amodu's name can never be washed away from Nigerian football no matter how much we hate him. The young man qualified us for 2 world cups, we've seen how difficult it is to qualify for ordinary nations cup(Eguavoen, siasia, keshi all failed to do this).
Am of the opinion Finidi and Amodu should head that department. I understand Finidi worked as technical director of Real Mallorca at some point. His brilliance, humility and Amodu's experience could be a fine blend.
Am a fan of marcelo Bielsa and Jose perkerman. The next best thing to them is Tata Martin, Sergio Batista.

Sinclair's coaching philosophy especially at Sharks meant he was light years ahead of his time as Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola would have been pleased to watch his teams keep possession.

goldfish80:

I know Monday Sinclair, I followed keenly his column on one of the sports weeklies years back. I kept in my archive a particular article where he talked about movement, ball control and coaching at grassroot level. He should be part of the new technical department setup. I did recommend finidi because of his pedigree as one of the finest Nigerian footballer of all time and his affiliation with Ajax and Spanish soccer doctrine. I think he has a uefa B license from Spanish soccer school. That guy is an asset.

thegoodjoehunt3:
The role will even be more suited for a foreigner than these guys. Look at Man City. They are rebranding their team. They brought in Txiki Bergiristein, former Coach and Technical director of Barcelona. Laporta, former Barca president said his best decision was employing Txiki. Txiki has brought in Coach Pellegrini who is changing the playing style and identity of the club.

Patrick Vieira is coaching in a similar pattern to Coach Pellegrini which is a foreign system to Manchester.

When Spain needed to transform their game, a foreigner called Rinus Michels who coached Johan Cruyff changed the playing style which is still maintained at all level in Spain in the clubs and National team.

Talk is cheap, we need a real re-structuring of the Coaching team and the modalities of picking players without sentiment. #Keshi decided not to call Sunday Mba again because Mba refused to share the dollars with him. All this issue need to be look into properly. Thanks

onatisi:
we are talking about the technical director to a national football authorities of a country and not to a football club. A football club can employ anybody from anywhere to any post. But the national football governing body of any country can't just appooint anybody anyhow because it is a national body. Besides please kindly name serious footballing nation that has a foreigner as their national football director to their national football governing body. I just went through michel rinus history on wikipedia and he was never the national football director for royal spanish football federation which is the spanish football body just as we have the nff.

onatisi:
thank you . Please kindly explain it more to them. Many people here are confusing national team technical adviser to football directoor. Amodu job will be to see the overall develoopment of football from the grassroot ,he will have to bring out programmes to develop the game at all levels begining from secondary schools and even primary, he will have too draw up programmes to see that the decline in the national league is halted and formulate ways to uplift nigeria league to international status. He will see that programmes are introduced to upgrade the knowledge of nigeria local coaches ,this is a job with a wide scope and yes amodu is the right man for the job,he has experience as a national team coach and he is a person that knows the inner dealings of nigeria football. He knows what is wrong ,the only problem is the nigeria factor and that is will he be allowed to do his job right. Because if any international body or organisation want to discuss with nigeria about any football development programmes the first person they will demand to see is the nations football technical director. his post is above that of a team manager. It is his duty to see that the game of football develops and attains an enviable height in nigeria .
