Humility017:
I even prefer ladan bosso to Aigbogun
Aigbogun is the worst....

but both coaches should not be given the job I beg pinnick in God's name

I'm not sure PWC are in charge of the recruitment exercise anymore.

tbaba1234:
Ladan Bosso and Aigbogun from what i hear, are making comebacks.

Ladan Bosso?? God forbid bad thing

jihday:
I'm not saying he deserve it, but it's nothing to fret about he'll basically be a cheer leader

Well we've now found out that he won't be first assistant like initially thought. If that was the case, he'd be in charge of the CHAN Eagles... That's more than a cheer leader.

SPORTGernot Rohr reacts to appointment of Joseph Yobo as his assistant

Published 20 hours ago on February 13, 2020 By John Owen Nwachukwu

Head coach of the Nigerian senior national team, Gernot Rohr, has reacted to the appointment of former Super Eagles defender Joseph Yobo as the team’s Assistant coach.

Rohr aimed a dig at the former Nigerian captain, saying that he heard Yobo has no coaching qualifications.

DAILY POST reported that the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, announced the appointment of the former Everton star yesterday.

The German gaffer said he was not informed of Yobo’s appointment before it was made.

Speaking with BBC, Rohr said, “Joseph Yobo is welcome to the team, of course. I have heard that he has no coaching diplomas, so I will talk to him about this.

“If what I have heard is correct, I will tell Yobo that he needs to do the training required, to grow as a coach.

“The NFF has the right to pick one assistant coach for my staff, so they are the ones to communicate the reasons for the appointment, not myself. I was informed by Amaju Pinnick, in a telephone call, before it was made public.

“I don’t know why Amapakabo has been removed. I worked very well with him. He did a very good job with me.

“I regret his departure. But since the NFF have the right to take this decision, there is nothing I can do about it.”

He said he would be more than happy to develop Joseph Yobo as well as other coaches in the country.

Yobo has the record as one of the highest capped former Nigeria internationals and represented the country in different World Cups and African Nations Cups.

Joebie:
What is even the proof that he would succeed? His defenders are so confident that he would succeed based on how they feel and nothing concrete.. It could go either way. But I wouldnt take chances especially when we need a sound assistant to Rorh.

Punditry. Just imagine. Rohr has already said he wasn't his decision so this makes even less sense to me.

jihday:
what did Siasia show you in 2005 to tell you he'll be a success?

Siasia had his credentials and started from the youth teams.
You guys are reaching with this Yobo dick riding. He doesn't deserve this job. Simple as that.

safarigirl:
I don't really care for what he has shown, like I said, I only care for results and as long as he has not shown me anything to prove otherwise, I cannot waste my time on negativity.

Everyone deserves a chance, no be everybody go get experience before dem get work, some people will get experience on the job, and not every experienced worker is actually good. At least, that much we have proven, with some of your listed examples.

You are already expecting him to fail, I have no expectations. I keep an open mind for now, and that is what a Super Eagles fan should do, instead of hoping the (assistant) coach fails.

I am not expecting him to fail - I just want things to be done the right way.
The only way this would make sense is if Rohr personally asked for him(well acceptable at least).
This just looks like NFF listening to Odegbami in thinking that Yobo is actually good enough to coach us to a WC.

safarigirl:
If he gets results, why won't he lead the team?

If something is working, you will throw it away because you don't like the brand name?

The only thing that concerns me is results, and that is the only thing that should concern any fan of the Eagles.

I never concern myself with NFF appointments, unless when they appoint proven failures. Yobo has a clean slate, until he does nonsense, before I talk.

If Yobo gets results, he can even lead the team till 2030, an Utility Bill will suffice as certificate

What has Yobo shown to make you think he'll be a better coach than Siasia, Oliseh, Amunike, etc?
That's what you people are yet to tell me.

Danielnino00:
Baba received a lot of insults from people here because of this . . They thought baba had lost his kolo and relevance .

The guy has lost his mind. Yobo leads this team to 2022 and I'll completely write Nigeria off as serious in anything.

BascoVanVeli:
So scouting is now the same as coaching ba? Abeg u haters should keep on, the guy has the job all the crying in the world won't help

It still doesn't change the fact that he does not deserve this job.
Using Zizou as an example makes it even clearer.

chrisooblog:
how did being better on the ball Translate into defensive master classes in the super Eagles. Reading the game? When how?

Lool if you don't think Yobo was good at the reading the game, then I don't know what to say.

andrewbaba44:
We all know Yobo is better than both

But is that the argument?

How does that even connect to justify Yobo being the coach

I don't agree with him being assistant too.

BascoVanVeli:
He didn't have the required license for Spain and that is why he got suspended. Keep reading that article, even the parts u have covered

So sporting director gets is now assistant coaching abi?

B license allowed him to be an assistant but not enough to coach castilla B.
I mentioned that to show you he has also been involved in administrative and scouting jobs before he even got assistant. Yobo has done what exactly? Punditry?

chrisooblog:
omeruo, ekong tell me how much better peak Yobo is better than these two

Lool at Ekong and Omeruo. For one, Peak Yobo was MUCH better at reading the game than those two.
Two, he was also better on the ball than both. He matches them on physicality as well.

chrisooblog:
really? please tell me what did peak Yobo do playing wise that trumped all our current CB?

Which one of our present CBs is better than peak Yobo?

tbaba1234:
I don't understand the use of Zidane and Arteta as examples.

Both were in a much better position to be assistants.

BascoVanVeli:
But he was assistant to Ancelotti in 2013 when they won the champions league na

He already had a UEFA B license in order to be assistant.
Not only that, he had already served as sporting director and advisor to both Perez and Mourinho.

Zinedine Zidane granted UEFA Coaching License

The Castilla manager meets final qualifications.

Real Madrid Castilla manager, and former senior side star player, Zinedine Zidane has been granted his UEFA Pro License today and is now able to manage a football club at the highest level in Europe.

According to the report:


Zidane has been working as coach of Real Madrid's Castilla ‘B' team but was officially listed as an assistant because he had yet to complete the mandatory qualification required by the Spanish Football Association. But now the 42-year-old, who won 108 caps for France, is free to pursue his career after revealing he successfully passed the course on Friday.


If you recall, Zidane was in hot water last fall as he did not have the proper coaching badges but a suspension was lifted after he was cleared to manage by the Administrative Tribunal of Spanish sport (TAD). Seen as one of the frontrunners to replace current senior manager Carlo Ancelotti should he lose his position this summer, Zidane has also been linked to replace Marcelo Bielsa at Marseille should they part with him.

Zidane's Castilla side sits in seventh place in the Segunda B Group 2 with two matches left to play.

And your point is? Zizou without a license could not even be seen as head coach OF CASTILLA B yet you're saying someone who hasn't even coached or set up an U16 team should be named assistant because he's good at punditry??
Has Yobo coached a team equivalent to CASTILLA B?

So Yobo gets appointed as an assistant coach solely based on his "punditry skills" and people are defending it??
It is well with Nigeria...

meum:
Given what is going on today, I am convinced of one thing:
Even if Nigeria breaks into two or more pieces in the next five years, the style of leadership/kind of leaders might remain the same/similar in the various "pieces" that made up Nigeria. Reason being that it will be the same old wine that will be filled in the "new bottles".
Mark my words and remember them!

Shhhhh!! Stop making sense here!!

Osimhen has been immense for Lille...

Farce of a country...

TheSuperNerd:
Ahhh... You've really been busy ooo. You don't know about Karim Adeyemi of RB Salzburg? Left footed, quick, skillful, daring... And just 18 yrs old. Will jersey #27 for the RB Salzburg first team in this season's second half after returning from his loan to Liefering in Bundesliga 2 (Austria).

Charlesemeka85 go tell you more sef... Lol

Reminds me of a young Griezmann.

charlesemeka85:
berge is a dm while yusuf is a cm who can be deployed as an AM as well. moreover he is just 19 and doesn't qualify for clearance to play in the epl yet. barca,ajax,anderlecht and wolves are interested as well. sheffield made a bid of 1.3 million pounds but gotenburg wants 3.5m so the offer was rejected but rumor has it that the epl sides will up their bid before the end of the transfer window tomorrow

Make we dey see.

charlesemeka85:
oga the plan is to sign and loan him out. if say na one club for israel wan sign am u no go doubt am

After smashing their transfer record on Sander Berge who plays in the same position??

charlesemeka85:
Sheffield united interested in Alhassan yusuf

They are close to signing Sander Berge so this isn't happening.

do4luv14:
They are basically into many thing as per consulting


but you wont blame anybody to think they are into anything finance only

Yeah true...

do4luv14:
Who is asking? Who dont know about PWC

I'm saying they are also into sports consulting.

jimmyiovine:
Meanwhile some people are still waiting for private company to recruit coaches for them. How can PWC be doing recruitment, are they a sports company?! From what I know they are a finance/economic company. Na wa for Naija

They are a consulting firm who deal with pretty much everything.

Benz is 33 but I don't think this would be a wise move for Osimhen.
