Any coach that is okay with being owed is a bad sign. Whether indigenous or foreign.

you no want make Nigeria get any coach?

Subzero047:
What Osimhen went through was a face injury not even a head injury, The guy should have been ready even before now

don’t understand what Napoli are trying to do by not declaring him fit

Same.as foreign too..so jihday abeg rest on foreign..I av later conclude dt if we can't settle for a grade A foreign coach,den it's better we stick to our locals..dey re d same when it comes to result achievement so far..no difference,so y waste tax payer money over what u can get here..its DT simple

even keshi who seem to be the only decent one of the lots had a very good CV unlike the rest who got the job on a platter

what do you mean by grade A? Should we just be hiring tactically inept local coaches just because we want to? In as much as we want to criticize Rohr he showed he’s at least better than Siasia and Oliseh. We can get a very decent foreign coach abeg, he doesn’t have to be at Pep level to achieve the minimum. Maybe because I’ve seen enough local coaches sha, from Onigbinde to Chukwu to Austin to Keshi to Amodu bar keshi the football was always dull, drab with average or ok results

Oasis001:
.... and what are their Achievements with the Team?!

it is not about foreign or local but getting a competent coach. Since 2000 we’ve only made 2 Afcon finals 1 foreign 1 local, failed to qualify for 2 Afcon courtesy of local coaches, failed to qualify for 1 World Cup courtesy of a local coach. We need a competent coach, we don’t need to be shouting local every time. it’s not like they’ve been spectacular for us

Oasis001:
You are right. Only Iwobi and Aribo can play for Eagles at the moment, but problem I have with both is; they are limited with pass range. None of them can play long pass decisively.

Austin Eguavoen seems understand the Naijaway of Football. Also seems he mastered very well Westerhof's tactics and style of play. We need a Coach who's gonna play Naijaway not forcing foreign style (philosophy) on us.

It's saddening Eagles Matches are getting so bored to watch these days. 1994 to 2000, one thing is certain, we would outplay our Opponents with entertaining football.

Nowadays, we are even getting outplayed on our home soil by small Teams. If Eguavoen does well at AFCON, he should be allowed to lead us to Qatar 2022. I am tired of foreign Coaches, cos last time we had good foreign Coach was when Jo succeeded Westerhof.

recently, we’ve had more local coaches than foreign, between Lagerbeer and Rohrbish we had 3-4 local coaches, so how can you be tired of what we barely had?

babatundey5:
We should focus on our strengths not trying to copy a new style of play

for a long time Wenger had this mentality which meant Sir Alex Mou and to a large degree Allardyce knew just what to do to beat Arsenal. Until the latter days of his reign before he realized that some opponents deserve special tactics

12large1:
What about Tunisia? What about flogging Algeria 5-2 in oman and zimbabwe 5-0? His downside was that Brentford massacre and also losing to Ghana under 23 in 2011 but he beat Ghana 1 0

was talking about Afcon that’s why I didn’t mention the Algeria and Zimbabwean games. Don’t have a clear memory of the Tunisia match and there’s no extended highlight on YouTube. I remember the Ivory Coast and Ghana games well, Although can’t make any conclusion now because we have different set of players with different skillsets

andrewbaba44:
Another excuse

Not even a fan of the guy ,but cut him some slack

do you know they bought an experienced Brazilian player from leverkusen, hoping Sanusi will play back up and learn from him? But na d guy dey learn from Sanusi now.

humility33:
Equeavon teams always concede but tend to score alot of goals
Later in 2006 afcon be worked on this and conceded just 2 goals in the whole AFCON and qualified with whopping 9 points from a group that has Ghana and Zimbabwe

we only played well against Ghana, struggled against Zimbabwe and was saved several times by Enyeama against Senegal. In the game against Ivory Coast we barely created any proper scoring opportunity just speculative shots and crosses

humility33:
EKONG should be replaced with bassey or akpoguma/Awaziem. I trust Coach Austin having been ex defender he knows better how to stabilise that defense

yimu, being an exdefender no mean anything

Philosopher1979:
EGUAVON SHOULD TAKE US TO THE WORLD CUP

I read part of Eguavons interview and i realized he knows what he is doing.
His actions even indicate this fact.

1. Immediately he wants to correct the problem of our lack of creativity in midfield
by inviting nwakali, alhassan yusuf etc.
2. In his interview, he understands his players and their strengths and weaknesses.
3. It seems he plans to use Chidera Ejuke and Samuel Chukwueze behind a striker
4. He seems to understand the Nigerian philosophy and style of play with wingers, good passers in midfield etc
5. By the end of this afcon the problem of lack of creativity in midfield will be gone thanks to Eguavon. No team will
dominate us in midfield again
6. He knows the players inside out and how to use them. He even said iheanacho is positionally confused which is
a very intelligent statement
7. I have said it we just need a coach that understands us, our mentality and how to use us.
8. He has the westerhoof model which is the only model that seems to work
9. You see, foreign coaches flatter to deceive. They look so attractive but are like wind without rain.
What happens on the field of play is all that matters not someone playing in Real Madrid.
10. We may hate it but our most creative players are not in the top 5 leagues and eguavon understands that.
He does not mind and wants to use them.
11. In football, even if lewandoski, cavani, ronaldo and Ibrahimovic are in your attack, without creative midfeidlers
and wingers, your attack will be limited. This is what Eguavon understands and Rohr does not.
12. As per the guy from the Isreali league, he may turn out to be another sunday Mba. Not all players in obscure
leagues are bad. It is just by percentage. 15% of players in obscure leagues are good while 85% of players in the top 10
leagues are good. It is just finding the 15% in obscure leagues that are good that is the problem and the Isreali league guy
may fall into the 15%.
14. Eguavon may not seem attractive but he will deliver at the end of the day.
15. Someone mentioned the fact that the USA 94 team did not play for the top teams of Europe but it made me smile.
African born players dont get the recognition players born in Europe get early in their career. they may have to wait till
after they are 25 to get into teams like barcelona, chelsea etc. But that does not make them bad. Talent is talent everywhere
and a boy in Mushin can be more talented that a player in west Ham.

talk is cheap

humility33:
Yeah he is doing well with this sponsorship deals
But he needs to do more currently we have no good grass root structures to unearth talents for under 17 and under 20. We ought to have a standing under 17 and 20 teams

we have U-13/U-15 called the future eagles na COVID scatter everything

elyte89:
Maybe dis is one of d major qualities Dt got him d job...ability to be owed wout complaining... Very crucial to nff

I swear, same thing I thought when I saw it. At least NFF no dey owe 1 year

jihday:
here’s what I could find about him.

Peseiro has a degree in physical education from the same university in Lisbon where José Mourinho gained his. He started coaching in the lower leagues before taking charge of Nacional, steering them into the Portuguese top flight in 2002. He worked as Carlos Queiroz's assistant at Real Madrid in 2003/04, returning home after a season to lead Sporting CP

However, despite playing some eye-catching football, the Lions finished third in Peseiro's debut campaign and lost the UEFA Cup final on home turf to CSKA Moskva. Sacked in the autumn of 2005, the well-travelled Peseiro has since coached al-Hilal, Panathinaikos, Rapid Bucureşti, Saudi Arabia, Braga, al-Wahda and Egyptian heavyweights al-Ahly

Peseiro's only significant trophy as a coach is the 2012/13 League Cup he won during his sole season at Braga. One thing that has been levelled against Peseiro is that his sides have often fallen short at the crucial moments, Sporting having lost the leadership of the Liga in the same week as that UEFA Cup final defeat nearly 11 years ago, while Saudi Arabia failed to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup after conceding a 93rd-minute equaliser in a play-off against Bahrain.

he also resigned as Venezuela coach in august because he had not been paid for about 1 year

PurpleHouse:
If this is our new coach, this Jose Peseiro, I'm actually not convinced or impressed. Too many clubs on a short spell doesn't speak well as a manager. It means many sackings. And im worried.

We need a German/Dutch/Brazilian coach that can make us utikize our attacking strenght.

Hmm

he’s never played for Ghana, he’s angry with the Ghana fa

Former EPL star Steven Caulker have been cleared to represent Sierra Leone

If fifa go ahead and start its biennial World Cup Uefa and conmebol have concluded plans to pull out and start a joint Nations league by 2024.
The top 6 ranked South American teams - so Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Peru and Chile - would join League A of the UEFA Nations League.
The other 4 - Paraguay, Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia - would be added to League B

Philosopher1979:
The issue is that there is this sentiment that Cameroon and other African countries must host it.
Most North African countries and South Africa have that kind of technology but they want other countries to host it.
My take is that, the afcon should be shifted to June (as it has been for the last few years) and then, it should be hosted by the African country
with the best technology.
Cameroon can in the mean time work on their technology so that they can host the Afcon in June. Caf should give Cameroon or other African countries 5 years to acquire this technology. With time, other African countries will learn to have the capacity to host afcon in June.
Cameroon cannot hold everybody to ransom because they want to host the afcon when they are not ready.
The best thing is to try and develop the technology and capacity themselves

TheLoneCitizen:
“I Know Say We Agreed On Friends With Benefits,Which One Kon Be Say You Don Dey Fall In Love With Me"

If you translated what Osimhen said to English, he meant:

I know we agreed on being just friends who have sex (intimacy is the right word), so why are you telling me you have fallen in love with me?

Meme or not? This category of public figure should never post this.

this is just hypocrisy on steroids

timay:
The second quote caught my attention, about being distracted during home games because of family and friends coming into team hotel to see the players.

This is why a national football center is important, like England's St George's park .

No one can just come into the place without authorization. And if any player has family issue, the player will have to leave the place and go visit them. So no rif raffs can just come into the place , unlike if it's just a general hotel where you can't stop people from coming and going because it's a public place. Even the stubborn players among the team will not be able to carry olosho enter sef, because they will send the olosho back at the entrance normally

he may be right but I think it’s just the ramblings of a sinking man, when we we were winning Algeria and Cameroon 3-1 4-0 did they not have families? Or is it the players families that told coachee to start ineffective Collins ahead of Sanusi and Aina?

TheLoneCitizen:
But he is also a public figure that requires huge amounts of maturity. This comes first before age consideration.

How old were Foden and Greenwood when they were exiled from the national team for sleeping with prostitutes?

Grealish who is a grown man was some weeks ago ostracised by Guardiola for some matches for keeping multiple women.

You saw how the world and PSG reacted some weeks back when Icardi appeared to be cheating on his girlfriend.

Rashford was the same 22 years of age last year when he was awarded an MBE by England for help rendered to society, yet Solskjaer still criticized him for not focusing on football.

This is not hip-hop where sex is glorified, this is a corporate job. What you can't do or say in an interview, should never be said anywhere.

ahnahn, what’s the relationship between posting memes and carrying ashewo? Osimhen is just catching fun and trying to make himself and followers happy don’t think that’sa bad thing

charlesemeka85:
he needs to grow up

no, let him be himself

Philosopher1979:
According to Punch newsPaPPers, Nff wants
to aPPoint another foreign coach next week.
Nff are fond of doing the right thing the wrong way.
We dont need a foreign coach
Also, we may sign another Rohr like contract with him and
so the contract has to be scrutinized by the sPorts minister before we get into trouble.

THE PROBLEM WITH FOREIGN COACHES.
They don't understand our native style of Play and how to interPrete it in
the light of modern football.
A foreing coach will not address our Problem of lack of creative midfielders
Such a coach will not use alhassan yusuf, nwakali etc and then invite onuachu and musa to the team.
Another Problem is he will be too exPensive for us.
If we appoint a foreing coach before the nations cup we are not going anywhere
Our problem is that we need a coach who understands our style of football and can interprete it for
us so as to get the best results.
They should leave Eguavon there and if they need a change, Amunike will be better
The tragedy of European coaches is that they try and force an alien style of play on Africans and it
does not work.
Westerhoof is one of the few foreign coaches that really understood us.
Also, a foreign coach in the next 1 week will not understand our football.
He will play our players out of position.
the problem with Africans in general is that we do not embrace our originality which is unique
and with which we can conquer the world. That is exactly what happened with the usa 94 team.
We did not care that Stoichkov was in Barcelona and Bulgaria were one of the best teams in the world.
We simply expressed ourselves properly
WE DONT NEED A FOREIGN COACH FOR NOW!!!

native style of play weyrey wo? Is it the one Onigbinde or Ahmodu or Christian Chukwu used?

Rohr; "I have a contract that has been broken, I am not an expert. I will allow the lawyers to do their job."

Burundi, Seychelles, Mauritius & Botswana will have a Centre Referee at the 2021 AFCON.

Nigeria will have only one referee, which is an Assistant Referee, Samuel Pwadutakam.

Some of the FIFA badge referees in Nigeria can't even pass their fitness test.

Napoleon55:
It's not a laughing matter.

I did not just make up things n spills.

Psychologically,right,wrong,positive,negetive emotions plays a part in it.

To be precise,having a sex 10-12rs before a game with ur partner/wife won't have a negetive influence on a player psychologically,
but with oloshos wiould do.

psychologically? Wey your project book? Where did you do your research?

elyte89:
@jihday look at something

hmmmmmmm, Nawa o. Before the game isn’t cool sha

nelszx:
Going by AFCON date, camp is supposed to start 2 weeks before kickoff and two week starts from next week. He may not have that luxury of time to hold a presser but it's something logical to do.

I know some teams will start camping on 23 of December and others after the Christmas break.

I think ours is 28

solonnachi:
Not necessarily so. Nwakali's case is long overdue

how is it long over due? He has never truly impressed at club level, played U-23 nations cup failed to do anything. The only reason i think his invitation is ok is because we are short in midfield
