Vision 2015: Taribo Seeks New Direction For Nigerian Football by blemon44(m): 1:21am On Dec 31, 2014
[b]Former Nigeria International Taribo West said it would be prudent for the local football fraternity to put the disappointment of the outgoing year behind them and focus on restoring the pride of the national team.
West said that while there was disappointment, the Nigeria Football Federation should use all that has transpired this year as an important lesson and build on that in coming
months.
“It is sad that we, the defending champions, will not be in Equatorial Guinea to defend our title. The football world is disappointed, Africa is disappointed and Nigerians are disappointed,” West said.
“It should be a lesson for the NFF to have a family where only those with knowledge of football administration will be made to run football.
“The NFF should take note that Nigerian football is not only about the Super Eagles but also the U-17, the U-20 and the U-23 national teams. Hence, the structure for the success of these national teams in the international arena in 2015 should be of utmost concern.”
One theme which consistently comes to the fore under these circumstances is the absence of former football players in the administrative branch of Nigerian football.
“We have ex-internationals who are coaches already. However, it is not all of us who can or should be coaches.
“We can contribute a lot in the day-to-day administration of football in Nigeria and introduce better policies that brought success in countries where we played.
“We have a lot of knowledge that can bring changes and development from the grassroots to the senior teams,” he added.[/b]
