Football education is a key definition of how a coach's mentality is shaped.

yep another bang average manager just hired him because he dey carry laptop for Pep

TheGoodJoe:


Amunike was sabotaged all through. It is people that don't go into the details that will scream did not qualify. Amunike went through hell from U17 to U20. Being owed, no welfare for players etc.

He built the team for years on a passing football ground and then the NFF took them to a poor pitch during the rainy season to sabotage him.

So people like you can write he did not qualify.

Those who knows the impact of that man will not talk like this. That team played over 50 games, almost winning all and lost won. Leave Amunike is too much whether you like it or not.

CV don't do the real coaching job

jihday:
Deboer is the crap Koeman is average, I know all about Koeman and the only reason he got the Barca job is because ‘former player’ and the only reason he hasn’t been fired is because sapa hold Barca. No sensible big club will hire him, do you think it’s by coincidence his previous two clubs are Everton and Southampton where he was sacked after dreadful results ?

TheGoodJoe:


Amunike being a key part of 2013, and then delivering in 2015 was a fluke despite the sabotage. LOL.

jihday:
If there’s any local coach that deserves any form of praise it is Samson Siasia, he has done soooo much for our football. He showed us 2005 wasn’t a fluke by doing it again in 2008 and 2016. Amunike couldn’t even qualify us for the African U-20 tourney by losing to Sudan in Nigeria, how is that different from Rohr loosing to car?

jihday:
Siasia saw the Devil with our youth teams but he always delivered. All those ones are excuses. No Nigerian team coach whether male or female have ever had it easy

TheGoodJoe:


You are just writing story.

If you want insight I will give you.

I will use Van Gaal to explain. It is about values. Van Gaal coached AZ to 13th position in the season and the club sacked him. The fans, being tactically saavy protested and asked for his reinstatement.

The club bent to the fans call because the fans saw progress and reemployed Van Gaal. The next season, the magical happened Van Gaal won the league with AZ.

Preliminary results is not the thing but over time you can tell.

Gavi alone will tell you something. The youngest player to play for Spanish national team. A team that has boasted of youngsters like Pique, Fabregas, David Silva, Thiago Alcantara, Isco, Portillo, Xavi, Iniesta etc.

Yet this young boy is not just the youngest but is so brilliant for the team.

If you think, you will know that this man they call Koeman is special.

Not just to shout results. After this international break, I have made up my mind to take time and watch him closely.

My critique of Rohr is that after time, no pattern with the team. It won't happen under Amunike.

jihday:
every single Nigerian coach have always been sabotaged

TheGoodJoe:


Siasia would not deliver if dump on a swampy pitch because his game is strictly on expansive passing football. It is not magic. Even Guardiola will suffer. That is why when Barcelona was to play Real Madrid when Mourinho was manager, he told the grounds man not to cut the grass for two weeks and Barcelona lost.

jihday:
go to viewing center and tell this story to Barca fans while Bayern is knacking them 5 if them no go pursue you comot

Golden Eaglets’ tactics confounds FIFA Study Group

Emmanuel Amuneke came to the on-going FIFA U-17 World Cup as one of the rookies in the coaching business, but the former Barcelona star has been able to confound even the ‘experts’ in the game with his unorthodox tactics that has made everybody to sit up and take notes.

After Sunday’s 3-0n defeat of Brazil, the FIFA Technical Study Group (TSG) saddled with the responsibility of ‘monitoring international matches and identifying latest footballing trends’ applauded the tactical savvy of Coach Amuneke for the ease with which they dispatched the Samba Boys.

Desmond (Desi) Curry, a member of the TSG, had sought out Amuneke ahead of their trumping of the A Selecao of Brazil at the Estadio Sausalito to explain briefly his seemingly obstructive tactics which have confounded opposing teams at this tournament.

The team, according to TSG’s elderly man from Northern Ireland, has brought to bear a new trend with varied styles and deployment of players when ‘having or not having the ball,’ hence the need for clarification.
“Sincerely, we (TSG panel) have tried to understand the tactics you are using but it is confusing,” Curry told Amuneke matter-of-factly.

“I have done some of your matches here but it is unusual to see a Number 10 (Kelechi Nwakali) playing deep as much as we have seen your player here.

“This is a new trend and we are going to include some of your explanations in the Technical Report of the championship because the tactical approach of your team stands out,” he noted.

That is, FIFA Technical experts had to consult Amunike to help them understand his tactics. It was extraordinary and confusing.

As I said, he is up there tactically with Guardiola and Enrique and you are talking of Rohr.

TheGoodJoe:


Does not change Amunike's impact.

None of the coaches were sabotaged like Amunike's team. Not even Siasia.

Do you know what it means to go to a world cup without kits?

Embassy had to buy clothes to wear. This was not just food.

They won the world cup and got only N20,000 each.

And the suffering continued in their U17.

You can pretend but Amunike deserves respect.

That one na normal thing

Bonfere they gave danfo to use as team bus.

Siasia his team arrived on match day to play a competition, no funds minister even accused him of being a kidnapper

Amodu nko, Oliseh nko, late Keshi sef

Every coach has been sabotaged in one way or the other

jihday:
story, the swampy pitch affected both teams

elyte89:
Okay @ d goodjoe

Who's better tactically BTW sia1 and amunike?

was so bad that Sia1 had to go beg his state Governor the late DSP alams who gave them 7mill, even that money the NFF still claimed he should give it to them. You can’t use poverty story to defend amunike because all our youth teams experienced it

damagnificentusb:


. Guardiola? Enrique?? .
C'mon thegoodjoe. If this is what you sincerely believe, then I'm not having this argument

TheGoodJoe:


Bonfere's team had kits. Amunike's team had to go to a U17 World cup wearing slippers and no coats to stay warm.

Please, I disagree with it being normal. That was beyond incompetency but plain sabotage. They wanted them to fail.

Cc: peacefull

Okay @ d goodjoe

Who's better tactically BTW sia1 and amunike?

Oliseh's team had no money to even buy food, Bonfere's 1996 olympic team had to squat at motels no proper transportation. Godwin Izilien former under 17 coach still being owed money. Siasia hotel threatened to throw team out Mikel had to use personal money to bailout team Westerhof team kits were abandoned in hotel before match against burkina faso game was almost walked over. So all this tales of woe you are listing for Amuneke other coaches have gone through if not worse so that alone shouldn't be used to excuse him.

I am yet to see which one is going to a World Cup without kits.

TheGoodJoe:


Mikel used his personal money. Amunike did not have anyone to use their personal money.
