Heard the same news on Channels TV too. . . .seems Eguavoen is to be one of his assistants. |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by sultan003(m): 9:31pm On Feb 26, 2010 |
Is this confirmed, because even wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria_national_football_team is stating that he is the new coach, |

Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by akinalabi(m): 9:52pm On Feb 26, 2010 |
semid4lyfe: sultan003: I dont know if its true. Wiki is not a source you can rely on. Anyone can put up a wiki article and say Fergie is the new coach. I'm not saying its not true. Just saying wiki is not a source to quote for authentic news Anything less than second round outing at the world cup, he should be sacked. |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by chelseabmw(m): 10:04pm On Feb 26, 2010 |
just saw it on channels news |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by beninman1(m): 10:15pm On Feb 26, 2010 |
But how come it is not on NTA or AIT. Sounds like a false tale to me. The meeting only began at 7pm this evening and was scheduled to run late into the night but Channels started announcing ages ago, |

sultan003: Even YOU, can create a Wikipedia account and write or edit anything. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia with several contributing authors from around the world. This is not saying the story is false anyway. But you shouldn't cite Wikipedia as an authority. |

Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by Nobody: 8:03am On Feb 27, 2010 |
He was given a 5 months contract to lead Nigeria to the world cup |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by Nobody: 8:07am On Feb 27, 2010 |
Wikipedia cannot be a trusted source of info,because anybody can edit the info there. We need other sources other than Channels. Checked FIFA,BBC,soccernet websites,no luck on confirmation of the appointment as of yesterday. He may be decent,but he really didn't do much with Sweden with the likes of Larsson,Ibrahimovic and Ljunberg. Well,what do I know?The Powers that Be who keep appointing mediocres for ur Super Eagles know best. |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by FBS: 8:37am On Feb 27, 2010 |
Nigeria pick Lagerback Nigeria have picked Swede Lars Lagerback and signed him on an initial 5-month deal to take the Super Eagles to the World Cup in South Africa later this year. Lagerback, who coached his native Sweden for nine years, was picked ahead of fellow Swede Sven Goran Eriksson, Englishman Glen Hoddle, Serb Ratomir Djukovic and Frenchman Bruno Metsu. The Swede was the last of the five candidates to arrive Abuja and was interviewed on Friday afternoon. The executive committee of the Nigeria Football Association subsequently went into an eight-hour meeting before announcing Lagerback as the new coach. http://www.kickoff.com/2010/news/14102/nigeria-pick-lagerback.php ------ So LL it is eh? on a 5 month initial deal? Will he be living in Nigeria during this time? All well and good. Does anyone know why he was picked? Will Sia1 be in the setup? what will happen to Amodu the coach? Isn't it funny that 5 foreign coaches applied to coach Nigeria? Would they have done this if The SE are not WC bound? |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by semid4lyfe(m): 10:55am On Feb 27, 2010 |
Hmmm. . . .I really wanted an Amodu & Sia1 combo to take us to SA 2010. However, amongst all the Foreign coaches he was my preferred choice followed by Glen Hoddle. . . .I heard he was selected partly becos he was the most knowledgeable about Nigerian football and Nigerian footballers. Dude must have really prepared hard & wella for the interview. Up Lagerback! Up Super Eagles! Up Nigeria! |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by FBS: 10:57am On Feb 27, 2010 |
The man looks serious. . .all in all we expect some serious improvement. @Semid4lyfe, you mean to say that he knew even about our home based players? |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by abhosts(m): 11:04am On Feb 27, 2010 |
Another Waste of Money. Siasia would have been a better pick. |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by semid4lyfe(m): 11:43am On Feb 27, 2010 |
FBS:Guy, I said I heard he was the most knowledgeable about Nigerian football & Nigerian footballers of all those interviewed. . . . .Maybe he did his research and prepared well after all everything na 'google' these days so to sabi Naija home-based players no go too hard nah. . . . .Remember he was the last man to be interviewed and the NFF allegedly had contact/pre-contract talks & agreement with him in London, so some sources are saying he had already been selected before Yesterday. |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by semid4lyfe(m): 11:53am On Feb 27, 2010 |
Funny enough I'm happy over his appointment. . . . He's to be assisted by Eguavoen and that 'dunce' Amokachi |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by rasputinn(m): 12:04pm On Feb 27, 2010 |
Lager no be beer?? Well let him settle down quickly and throw the camp open ASAP |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by FBS: 12:07pm On Feb 27, 2010 |
semid4lyfe:I'm sure you will agree that google cannot exactly tell you how good a player is. Knowing the name of a player means nothing. Besides, its easier for you to fly to space than to get a youtube video of our home based players. The way you put it, I would have thought the guy coached in Nigeria before. But since you heard from somewhere. . .we can categorise it as a "rumour" then. rasputinn:According to NFF, camp will open in May. Does anyone know if our March 3 against ? will take place? |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by AndreUweh(m): 12:11pm On Feb 27, 2010 |
Fellow Nigerians, please support the new manager. |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by semid4lyfe(m): 12:42pm On Feb 27, 2010 |
FBS, who would u have preferred among the coaches interviewed? |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by bandely(m): 12:44pm On Feb 27, 2010 |
Yaay! Lagerbeer! |
Re: Lars Lagerback Named Super Eagles Technical Adviser by FBS: 12:58pm On Feb 27, 2010 |
semid4lyfe: @Semid4lyfe, To be honest with you Lars Lagerbeer (now I dub him Uncle L or Uncle LL ) would have been my choice. My reason: I think he may be able to instil discipline into them players. Just my opinion though. |
