Austin have coached the SE previously oo, remember he was an U17 coach at 2003 or so WC. You can't become coach and not have a coaching license.

Before his NFF appointment, he had been appointed as coach of Stad Malien. Come on put some respect to his name. No be everybody dey make noise
Stad malien ko Marlians FC niii
There was no record of him coaching stade malien he only coached black leopard in PSL.
And yes there is no record of him going to a particular coaching academy or having a coaching badge
These shouldn't be a quantum physics merely typing the name of Rohr on Google you see his UEFA A LICENSE grin grin

So giving some blacks opportunity means all black coaches now have equal opportunities with white coaches.

Na, take it easy. Your point is so off.

I say blacks don't get enough opportunity, you are saying but very minute got opportunities. How is that countering a point?
Is it all white coaches that are given chances on platter of gold? It all comes to competence they worked for it and got their chances. Not because they're white or black.

It is called referencing, not comparison. I am showing you that Guardiola got the Barcelona job without a loaded CV. He got it down to his philosophy and playing pattern.

So I am more interested in philosophy and coaching pattern over CV .

How you read that as comparing Guardiola and Eguavoen is shocking.
You're saying rubbish
Laporta gambled with Guardiola grin grin...it a very big risk I must say, Guardiola had a good spell with Barcelona B, the major feeder team for the Barcelona and he took his chance well then the rest is an history, reference to this with Austin is absolutely trash... Austin has resigned twice from the team due to his poor performances and even sacked by Sunshine stars of akure grin grin due to same poor club performances.

If Austin doesn't have a coaching badge do you think he'd have been a coach of the SE in 2006? Think about it bruh

Head coaches are always badged coaches, it's a FIFA rule. Why do you think Yobo is running after coaching badges now?
What's is his coaching badge ?
We all know aigbogun coaching badge same with Rohr even amuneke.

Just writing story.

The point is simple. Gerard coach under 18 at Liverpool and Boom Rangers.

Thierry Henry had to do assistant work for years to Land Monaco.

The opportunities are different. Let them give Kolo Toure Rangers with all his coaching experience. They won't. It is a simple fact that does not even need debate.
[/s]

You're saying absolute rubbish I would rather work as an assistant coach with Belgium for 2 years (then boom to Monaco) than to work with Liverpool U-18 then coach rangers and now Aston Villa...Henry had opportunity Steven Gerrard didn't even have yet you're gonna be shouting with white supremacists up and down despite his whole fvck up he went to USA coached a MLS team and now back to Belgium as an assistant coach and yet you think the system is unfair to him...then you must be joking cheesy grin grin

Are you saying black coaches have half or a quarter of a fifth of the opportunities of white coaches? If they don't, you are arguing off point.
Trash!!!
With the little opportunity they have what's have they done with it ??
Blew it off same way Thierry Henry did
Samson siasia did similar thing with match fixing
Same with the great amuneke even Salisu Yusuf is not left behind do you think all these dudes have good credentials to go Europe and make a name for themselves judging by the fact their names has been soiled with match fixing and lack of professionalism.
People who exhibit good professionalism are doing well the likes of Eddie Newton, sheyi olofinjina, Patrick viera and co.are trying to make good names for themselves.

Steven Gerrard was a Liverpool hero same way Thierry Henry was a hero at arsenal and Barcelona...after finishing his coaching coach he coached rangers now he is with Aston Villa.
He took his chances same cannot be said about Henry after two years as an assistant with Belgium national team, things like this are not given at a platter of gold they're earned.

At best, you have a simplistic perspective on the subject. While racial prejudice may primarily not be the reason for the handful of black coaches around the world, unconscious bias could be. Bias dictate who and who doesn't get opportunities which ultimately affects success rate.

Statistics matter you know. Increase Africa's participation at the world cup to the exact number Europe gets and our chances of winning automatically increases. It was viola Davis that said after winning the Emmy "'In my mind, I see a line. And over that line, I see green fields and lovely flowers and beautiful white women with their arms stretched out to me over that line. But I can't seem to get there no how. I can't seem to get over that line.' That was Harriet Tubman in the 1800s. And let me tell you something: The only thing that separates women of colour from anyone else is opportunity. You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are simply not there".

Until increased opportunities come, the chances of success will be low
Agreed with all you said though.

Oliseh did not blow anything. He lost his job because he refused to compromise his integrity. That was a match fixing operation gone wrong because Oliseh refused to play ball and took it public.
All this are speculations he was doing well enough with fortuna sittard before he was sacked...even fortuna is now in the eredivise doing well also so far there has not been issues with the new coach
Let's leave oliseh and go to Thierry Henry you think he was right to call a player's grandmother a "LovePeddler"
Are you for real? grin

Go and watch Eguavoen's tactical philosophy video and understand his line of thinking.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey5KcdrfvaM
All this one nah shalaye as far as am concern
I don't wanna see a man talking about his own philosophy I will deduce from his style of playing to know his philosophy
And for real I will like to know the coaching badge he hold to be able to get the SE job,
Paul aigbogun has a UEFA A LICENSE went for a refresher coaching course in England can the same be said about Austin?
On what tutelage was Austin under?; we both know Boas was under Robson tutelage for years as a video analyst for years same with the like of Graham Potter of Brighton he is inspired by the like of Guardiola thus make his style very distinctive these are what I need to know !!!
No this trash.

One of the things coaches try to establish in coaching school is the philosophy they will adapt to. It is the basic of coaching.

So a coach does not have to be Mancini who is quite brilliant. Heard his coaching badge thesis was on another level. But, a coach does not need to be as brilliant as Mancini to have his philosophy.

Then selection of players is aligned to it.

If Ndah brings a different skillset that the other players don't have, we can not criticise the manager.
Tell me the philosophy of Eguavoen
His coaching badge
The coaching academy he went to.

Are you reading what you are typing? You could only list a handful and one is an age grade coach. Yet we have whites flooding all the top leagues, lower leagues, junior Leagues, academy leagues.

There are some things that you should not debate. The unfairness of black and African coaches is too much.
I know the fact there is not much of black coaches in top European clubs but it not a matter of racial prejudices or biasness it all comes down to competence.
The likes of viera, Eddie Newton,henry et Al got their chances cos of the fact they're competent not because they're black or white...simple!!

First of all, if for instance, a coach prefers having a player that makes runs with the ball into spaces, and that player plays in the PSL, are you saying the coach should not use the player to play a bundesliga star who does not make runs with the ball?

If the player does not fit the coach's philosophy or lacks the skillset he wants, you can not force it on the coach.

The philosophy is king.
Has he played apkoguma for him to know that face he can't fit into his philosophy grin grin apkoguma is a stopper similar with player like Ekong, omerou and awaziem he had better season that this trio...if he doesn't deserve to be in the squad then this trio has no place in the team
And here you're talking about philosophy
What's his philosophy you're talking about the likes of genius like Mancini we knows what his style is, the whole world know how much of a genius he is...trying to use Mancini's decision to justify a coach with no coaching badge like Eguavoen it very STUPID the likes of Mancini, Luis Enrique, Guardiola are gods in what they do.

Tell me how many black European born coaches can manage top clubs. It is not ambition. Blacks lack opportunities for football in Europe. That is why the likes of us are supporting Viera to change the narrative. So if Black Europeans find it difficult, how do you think Nigerians can just claim jobs in Europe.

How many blacks do you see in VAR rooms in the EPL? Let alone coaching.
So you're telling me ndubuisi egbo and Eddie Newton of Trabzonspor are white men grin grin
Eddie Newton was an assistant coach for Chelsea for years before moving to turkey
Oliseh had the chance to be a top manager at the eredivise and blew it up
Seyi olofinjina is currently one of the age grade coaches of Wolverhampton same with finidi George...if you're Good you're good there are opportunities of for black coaches in Europe on the basics of pure competence...Theirry Henry coached Monaco even our own emenalo was the sporting director for Chelsea for years...stop all these bullocks and face the truth.

Which winning DNA did the Super Eagles have in the last five years not to give a damm about other factors that can affect the team?

As I said, Eguavoen has already made some drastic changes to suit his philosophy. He can not push it too far few weeks to a major tournament.

His appointment came too late. He has to work with what is on ground to have a good tournament.
grin grin
What's his philosophy?
Someone that has not played a match and here you are talking about philosophy...same stupid philosophy that's could secure U-23 Olympic ticket same philosophy that made him played 3 match in Olympic qualifications lost 2 matches grin grin
Have you asked what's his CVs are
Coaching badges ?grin grin
You're just been prejudicial here bro grin
Yet you couldn't spare tunde Adelakun because he has no coaching badge
Yet we don't even know your Austin coaching badge
His CV so far shows how tactically deficient he is yet you're comparing his decisions with the likes of genius like Mancini.

Now that we have a fit first X1, we have no excuse not to win our games.
Are we not playing FIFA World club cup?
We need to ship alot of players out of the team...for the sake of rotation Werner should stay...but see that Kai or whatever his name is need to get the fvck out of the team...same with Alonso, Saul needs to be observe more, he really balled against Brentford. I'm looking forward to the January transfer window, I think we are going to be active in the window so far Chelsea have been linked with 5 players

No there was never a place I agreed fully with your points son, yea I agreed there were Africa nudity up till the late 1900s but were not as a result of non Civilization or shit like that cos there larger amount of natives were wearing clothes at this time...infact most African are already well claded since the late 1800s but normally we still gonna have people that will be susceptible to this form of Civilization thus; the abaliki issue I raised, in Lagos, the delta region and most part in the Eastern region were fully claded.

Listen blud, no need for this long shalaye, you initially quoted me saying you do agree with a particular point of mine pertaining to our cultural fashion.
donjazet:
There is no need for the back and forth between both of us. It all boils down to this simple question.

The "traditional clothes" that we wear today to distinguish our tribes, are they indeed our traditional attires?
@ d bolded has any European ever engaged you in an argument that our native iro and buba, dansiki, agbada belongs to them or perhaps part of their culture hell no!!
All these clothes belongs to us.

Not in western Africa.
Peculiarly west Africa you inferior complexity is second to none

Eight African countries grew over four percent of global organic cotton production in 2017/18 and experienced a 20 percent increase over 2016/17. Tanzania is by far the largest organic cotton producing country on the continent, followed by (in order of volume) Uganda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Mali, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Senegal.
Currently, most of Africa is GM-free. Countries that prohibit genetically modified seed will avoid the difficult and complex issue of crop contamination through genetic drift and handling, which has become a concern in countries such as India and the United States. This puts African countries at an advantage when it comes to organic production, which prohibits genetic modification.
Prohibiting GM production means that African farmers, national research institutes, and ginners will continue saving and breeding their own locally adapted seed, rather than needing to purchase seed every year from a foreign multinational corporation.
Africa’s proximity to European and Turkish manufacturing facilities makes it an increasingly appealing sourcing partner for several reasons, not least the lower carbon footprint of transportation to both mills and consumers in those areas.
Increasing manufacturing capacity within Africa will provide added value to the organic cotton fiber produced on the continent (rather than it being exported in raw form).
Africa’s total population is expected to double from 1.25 billion to 2.4 billion by 2050, and, in some African countries, half the population is already under 25 years old. Developing organic cotton production and manufacturing in Africa provides crucial potential for the economy by providing local jobs and reducing rural depopulation and the incentive to emigrate.

Well I won't say there were acculturated
Cos even before the era of loin cloth even the Romans made cloth with animal skins and Africans are not exempted from this...the world revolved towards the use of cotton and loin, well Africa revolve towards this too but due aristocrat practice in most Africa community the Poor/ordinary masses that are not from Noble family had no access to loin and cottons then...I have alot of pictures of people from Noble family well claded in cottons and loins infact loins and cottons were used to identify the rich/nobles then.
