Napoleon55:

some of us know why

Oasis007:


There should be no doubts about George's coaching qualifications. He holds the UEFA Pro License, the highest certification a coach can obtain, after taking the requisite courses.

Having learned from the famous Ajax academy and Dutch "Total Football" philosophy as a player, Finidi will likely aim to instil an attacking, possession-based style with the Super Eagles.

His Ajax roots give him an outstanding coaching pedigree and this should excite Super Eagles fans.

Mere fallacy my brother. Man just dey show off here.

Looking at this stat and the logic some people apply here, Saka is better than C Ronaldo was because when Ronaldo had those stats, he was running at unfit defenders that drink and club all night, unlike the ones Saka faces today.

Napoleon55:
A coach who knows how to utilize his players to get consistent results is best suited for super eagles than the ones is all about possession style football.
There is nothing wrong with possessive football if we have the right players to execute it.

If we are going to expect Finidi to play that kind football,then he will need time so he can scout for more players and right players,and I don't think Nigerians and NFF will exercise that kind patience

mostob:
You two are
not the major Pro-Amunike here please.

What I said is a normal scenario. I would say the same thing had it been Amunike was the one appointed. The camp of the one who lost out will always have the notion that their fave would have done better.

Amunike is not different from Finidi. Both are the same.

mostob:
I thought they said Finidi did not have any coaching license.

TheSuperNerd:
Amunike is way different from Finidi.

And who else on this thread is more pro-Amunike than TheGoodJoe and I? This is one of those times when you just want to yap with no concrete grounds on what you say.

Point out a pro-Amunike moniker in here bigger than TheGoodJoe and myself. Do it.

TheGoodJoe:


Sorry, that report seems packaged. Where did Finidi get UEFA Pro license from when last year he was not allowed to seat in games because he lacks a UEFA Pro Coaching License?

My name is Adewale Ajayi, i am a licenced football intermediary, a match commissioner with repute, a respected football commentator and analyst, a former media officer of the Nigerian Under 20 national football team and above all, a major Stakeholder.

For 15 good years before I left Nigeria for greener pastures abroad, I have done businesses with Nigeria coaches. I have worked with many from close quarters, I have seen their pre match notes, I have sat down with many to discuss the beautiful game, I have seen them prepare their teams for matches, i have seen their training routines and I have come to the conclusion that, there are not too many sound and intelligent Nigerian coaches around.

However, in 2015, former NFF president Amaju Pinnick appointed me as the media officer of the Under 20 National team of Nigeria. That was the team that had the likes of Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, Kelechi Nwankali, Orji Okonkwo, Kingsley Michael and a few more stars who have moved on to write their names in gold.

The head coach of that team, was Emmanuel Amunike. We traveled to North, South, East and Western part of Africa for friendlies and qualifiers and we won over 60 matches on the road. We trashed Burundi in Bujumbara and humbled Sudan in Omdurman. The team played with the confidence of Real Madrid and flourished with the brilliance of Barcelona they dazzled with the fluency of Arsenal and never showed any of Chelsea’s weaknesses.

The stars in this team shone on every match day, the unity in camp was superb. The training routine was second to none, the determination to win was top notch.

On match days, we travel to match venues not afraid of the outcome, all we thought about is how many goals we will score on the day. That team was just too good. Unfortunately, we didn’t qualify for the World Cup due to the nonchalant attitude of the then NFF towards our preparation.

The boys knew that the game against Sudan was their final qualifying match to the world cup and got scared that if they beat Sudan, the team will be decamped and their backlog of allowances will not be paid, so they went on a three day strike few days to the return leg of their home tie with the North Africans whom they have already defeated 2-1 in Omdurman

That was the straw that break the camel’s back, as Nigeria lost 3-2 to Sudan in Lagos to kiss the World Cup goodbye. I wept on the day because I was sad that the world didn’t have an opportunity to see the best Under 20 national team ever assembled by Nigeria. A team comprising of young and enterprising players who one year ago, won the FIFA Under 17 World Cup in Chile.

What left me more devastated is the fact that one of Africa’s finest football coaches, Emmanuel Amunike didn’t have the opportunity to showcase his talents and his wards to the world audience. However I am happy to know that few years later, he went to Tanzania and qualified the Taifa stars to their first African Cup of Nations after over 30years.

It is public Knowledge that as one of the applicants for the Advertised Super Eagles job Emmanuel Amuneke, a Nigerian, possesses High Coaching Credentials including the Mandatory CAF A License and the prestigious UEFA Masters Degree Coaching Certificate; UEFA Pro License; UEFA A, B and C Licenses. Among the Front-runners, he is the only one who has qualified an African country for AFCON as he qualified the East African country Tanzania for AFCON after 30 years in the wilderness.

It is also on Record too, that Amuneke has developed the bulk of the present Super Eagles top players including the Reigning African Best Player of the Year, Victor Osimhen; AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze and Kelechi Nwakali whom he coached to win for Nigeria and Africa, the FIFA U-17 World Cup trophy twice as Assistant and Head Coach of the Golden Eaglets.

Above all, he has been FIFA and CAF Technical Study Group (TSG) Member in recent time. Both institutions don’t give novices such responsibility.

So who is still saying that our indigenous coaches cannot lead the Super Eagles?

Who is better to get the Best out of Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze in the present Super Eagles than the Man who “moulded” them to become the Stars of today?

Who can command Nigeria and Africa’s Poster Boy-Victor Osimhen’s Respect in the Super Eagles of today than the Coach he Decorated with his CAF Best Player of the Year Award and called him “My Mentor”?

I don’t have anything against Finidi, I am only saying that the only local coach we can trust to take us to Eldorado is Emmanuel Amunike, if not, let’s go and get a foreign coach. I rest my case.

Give Amuneke the job and hold me responsible if he he fails. If you must do that, do it now!

We don’t have much time to plan.

TheGoodJoe:


But Nigerians and NFF have patience to stay with docile football and lack of team growth for years with Peseiro and Rohr. LOL.

Oasis007:
Finidi has proved him winning the NPFL last season ain't a fluke. Very rare in the league to win and still a favourite the following season.

As at today, Finidi's Enyimba is 2 points behind the League Leader, Enugu Rangers. Finidi played free flow, attacking football in his first season at Enyimba but the clud didn't do well.

He played 4 - 4 - 2 Formation in his first season, but twerked it to 4 - 4 - 1 - 1 in his 2nd season, improve the defence and won the league.

Imagine Osimhen and Boniface upront, flank by Lukman and perhaps Iwobi [except Chukz up his game in GWG] in a 4 - 4 - 1 - 1 formation?!

TheGoodJoe:


It is called coaching. Even if he does not know the players, he would do scouting and research, which is a normal protocol of coaches. When Barcelona was to play Bilbao when Guardiola was coaching Barcelona, after the game, he got a report from Bielsa (Bilbao coach). When Guardiola scanned the document, he exclaimed that Bielsa knew more about Barcelona players than him.

Sorry, you can't compare Finidi George's knowledge when it comes to modern coaching to Torrent. That is just an illogical argument. The depth and gap too much.

TheSuperNerd:
Finidi was literally on the verge of being sacked by same Enyimba at one point. He won the league last season thanks to the abridged version and the help of Ukaegbu and others who prepped the team even when Finidi was away on NT duty.

Truth is we are giving all the credits to Finidi to boost him up but the main mind behind Enyimba's plays and training are Emeka Okwandu, Ifeanyi Harcourt and Lawrence Ukaegbu.



Finidi is coaching the most prestigious and richest club in Nigeria with several of the best players in the league. It's a piece of cake. A better coach will be topping the league with Enyimba and wrapping up the league. Not playing second fiddle to Fidelis Illechukwu (a guy I consider a better tactician than Finidi anyway).

Hmm what more can be said

Without sentiment Amunike is the most qualified

In terms of
Experience he has grown from the ranks.. coached in and out of Nigeria

As per certification he has all the papers. We even learnt Finidi George does have some of the papers CAF standard expect

Amunike has the toughness to inforce discipline after all he has played the game lake Finidi George and even this boys who he can take them... Apart from Osimhen who among the current players can boast of African footballer of the year award


Anyway NFF wants somebody that can do their bedding without saying no to some underhand practice we all know


They say Finidi George won NPFL
I just laughed, if not for the super 8 when all the teams were tired expetially Rivers United on the continent and Bendel insurance
