Coaches are let go when clubs owners or federation think the coach isn't good enough anymore not when players send emails and threatened to not play if a coach is not sacked
Deltamani:


ISAN Do you actually believe coaches should only be dismissed when they commit a crime? If that is the case, then very few coaches on planet earth should have resigned/let go. Coaches are let go daily. If as a coach you're underperforming (that Spain can still not win a knockout match at senior level is criminal) or if you have lost your squad to such heights where players at the prime of their careers are willing to end their international careers, then what again are you holding on for?

From the Mourinhos to the Guardialos to the Jill Ellis to the Silvia Neids to even the Klopps, a time comes when you have to move and when it does, you move. If you are worth your salt, then you will land on your feet.

That is just one of the reasons coaches are let go. If a coach's presence doesn't provide a conducive environment for players to thrive then they are let go. Like I mentioned earlier, you'll have a point if one or two persons made this request, but if over half of the team are saying they don't want him, the association will be stupid not to listen.

Recently a team owner in the NBA ran foul of some rules and he was suspended for one year and fined $10M. Some NBA star's voiced out their reservation about the punishment and felt it was too lenient, now he's selling his team. Point is, this case isn't isolated, if majority of your team don't want a coach, then listen.

Well they can't just kick out a national team coach because their players wants the coach gone and threatened the federation not to honour future call ups , if the federation give in now who knows what the girls will demand for in the future? what message will they be sending to their remaining national teams ?

If its about sexual assault, racism or any other serious issues the coach should be sacked but if it's about football tactics the girls have gone too far by their actions


If all the Spanish men's team wanted their coach gone then he'd be gone. But which kind coach is that guy sef How can a whole team hate u grin

India 2022: Olowookere picks Dah-Zossu, Ajakaye, Afolabi, 18 others for World Cup
sportinglife.ng Sep 23, 2022 2:25 PM

Head Coach Bankole Olowookere has selected team captain Alvine Dah-Zossu, midfield jewel Taiwo Afolabi and top scorer Opeyemi Ajakaye as part of Nigeria’s 21-girl squad for this year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals.

There are also first-choice goalkeeper Faith Omilana, defenders Comfort Folorunsho, Blessing Sunday and Miracle Usani, midfielders Blessing Emmanuel and Chidera Okenwa, and forwards Omowunmi Bello and Yetunde Ayantosho.

Players and officials are scheduled to depart the shores of Nigeria on Monday, 26th September for a 10-day training camp in Turkey, before the delegation will jet off for India from Istanbul on 6th October.

Matches of this year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup will take place at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar, Pandit Jawarharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa and the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

Nigeria’s first match of the campaign is against Germany in Goa on Tuesday, 11th October, starting at 8pm India time (4pm Nigeria time). The Flamingos will then square up to New Zealand on Friday, 14th October also in Goa, before flying to Bhubaneswar to take on Chile on Monday, 17th October.

Since the competition was launched in New Zealand 14 years ago, Nigeria has only once been absent at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup – the 2018 finals staged in Uruguay.

21 FLAMINGOS FOR FIFA WORLD CUP:

Goalkeepers: Faith Omilana; Linda Jiwuaku; Jessica Inyiama

Defenders: Olamide Oyinlola; Josephine Edafe; Comfort Folorunsho; Miracle Usani; Tumininu Adeshina; Blessing Sunday; Alase Attervall; Immaculata Offiong

Midfield: Chidera Okenwa; Blessing Emmanuel; Mary Aderemi; Bisola Mosaku; Taiwo Afolabi

Forward: Omowunmi Bello; Opeyemi Ajakaye; Edidiong Etim; Alvine Dah-Zossu; Yetunde Ayantosho

GROUP A: India, USA, Morocco, Brazil

GROUP B: Germany, Nigeria, Chile, New Zealand

GROUP C: Spain, Colombia, Mexico, China

GROUP D: Japan, Tanzania, Canada, France

The 15 players that have resigned are: Sandra Paños, Lola Gallardo, Ainhoa Vicente Moraza, Andrea Pereira, Laia Aleixandri, Mapi León, Leila Ouahabi, Ona Batlle, Patri Guijarro, Lucía Garcia, Mariona Caldentey, Aitana Bonmati, Claudia Pina, Nerea E Izagirre and Amaiur Sarriegi

With this ongoing crisis in Spanish women football, this is the time for the NFF to go after Vicky Lopez. Oh....sorry.... I forgot that Pinnick's reign is over.....

Normally, in this life, everybody cannot like you. But when you are in a gathering and more than half of the people there hate you, then you are probably the problem.

In a squad of 26 players, 15 hate you, in a democracy, if a vote was to be conducted then you'll be out.

Mind you, the coach must be very incompetent mixed with being a proper a**hole for the players to resort to this kind of drastic measure.

I also heard the father of the Spanish women's team coach is the head of women's football of the Spanish FA, that's why his backing is so strong and they have refused to sack him despite being a failure after 7 years as the coach.

Why 21 though? Is that the max number given by FIFA? The team looks kinda lean in my opinion.

Also Daniella Alali the LA galaxy girl didn't make the most. Was she in camp at all?

A summary of the common letter shared by the Six Barça players with Alexia Putellas:

•• They regret that the RFEF made their private mail public. (Read mail stating that they were unable to make the selection due to anxiety, depression... toxicity lurking around the dressing room)

•• They did not GIVE UP the selection (as the RFEF announcement indicated)

•• They have never CLAIMED the departure of coach Jorge Vilda (as several media outlets have reported).

•• They reject the "childish" tone used by the federation in its official communication. Said conclusion: "Players who have resigned from the national team will only return if they admit their mistake and ask for FORGIVENESS."

This is too much!

This isn’t her NCAA debut this season for sure, have watched her start at least 3 games, and this would make it 3goals for her this season.. Maybe it’s the Big 12 Conference women's soccer tournament debuts.

I Consider Onyi to be a versatile and highly talented player, she plays mainly as a central or an attacking midfielder but can also operate in several other positions and has been used as a winger or second striker.


••• She is blessed with significant physical strength, pace, or ability in the air.
••• She is a quick and elegant player on the ball with good dribbling skills.
••• Her Athleticism, work-rate off the ball, vision, crossing accuracy, wide range of passing, and powerful long-range shooting ability with either foot already set her up ahead of her mates…


In all we need a Good Coach

Incredible from Michelle Alozie: Footballer and Cancer Research Technician

From @AdamWinkABC13 (Adam Winkler):
"Michelle Alozie (@alozieee), a forward for the @HoustonDash, works as a cancer research technician for @TexasChildrens - and does so during the @NWSL season."


In the lab: Houston Dash's Michelle Alozie has 'other' career at Texas Children's Hospital

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Michelle Alozie's feet are a nod to her favorite soccer player.

"I love Mario Balotelli, and I think it's unique and fun," Alozie said. "So why not?"

Why not is a question the Houston Dash forward asks herself about wearing mismatching soccer shoes. How is an inquiry we have upon learning about her other career.

"I was looking for jobs, something to do. I'm just so into medicine," Alozie admitted. "And thankfully, Dr. Stevens reached out to me."

Dr. Alex Stevens is a pediatric oncologist at Texas Children's Hospital. Early last year, she hired Alozie as one of four research technicians to work in her pediatric leukemia research lab.

"She's far exceeded expectations," Dr. Stevens shared about Alozie. "She learned all the techniques we're doing in lab incredibly fast. She has been a full-fledged member of the team."

So, yes, the 25-year-old is a member of multiple teams. She's a standout for the Dash, a member of the Nigerian national team, and part of a staff breaking down barriers to help get new cancer-treating drugs to children.

"Michelle has exactly what I look for in everybody I want to work with - she has fire," Dr. Stevens added. "She has the desire to make a difference in the world - to use her talents and strengths to the best of her ability, and I love that. It's what moves the field of pediatric oncology forward."

And Alozie is using those talents and strengths concurrently. She's not just a cancer research technician in the offseason.

"If I finish here (with the Dash) at noon or 1 p.m., I'll run over to the lab," Alozie, who has scored two goals in eight games for the club in 2022, explained. "Thankfully, it's really close to our facility, so I'll just run over to the med center and help out with wherever my coworkers left off. I'll usually go in on weekends, too."

When her playing days are done, Alozie, who has a degree in molecular biology from Yale, plans to attend medical school. But until she hangs up her contrasting-colored cleats, Michelle says she'll keep chasing both her dreams.

"At the end of day, it's just a passion," Alozie said. "I'm fighting for this little girl inside me who has always wanted to play soccer, and has always wanted to be an awesome, cool doctor."

"She'll be a fantastic doctor when she's ready," Dr. Stevens said without hesitation. "She has so many talents, and life is short. She's living her dream as a professional soccer player and having the potential to impact the lives of children for decades to come."

In a similar style to her mismatching shoes, Alozie's career features two separate jobs, which appear to be starkly different but make for a perfect fit.

The Dash play their regular season home finale Saturday, on the final weekend of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. With a victory, the Dash will clinch their first-ever playoff spot.
