Humility017:
if not for that Imama and his carpentry gang

we should have move up more.....
well I think Yobo tenure will be better than him.

because everything about that Imama does not follow even his football sense is zero and players selection is so disorganized and loopsided

LMAO, you keep dragging this guy by the collar

LaMujer:
na wa o. We're still dragging whether or not Yobo?



smh, abeg, i watched on news yesterday that Nigeria has moved 4 places up in the FIFA rankings. We're now 31st in the world, 3rd in Africa

Senegal 1st, 20th
Tunisia 2nd, 27th
Nigeria 3rd, 31st


We should be celebrating another jump forward abeg

Tunisia should loose games na abi why them con use super glue seat down for second position

Philosopher1979:
Amokachi has coached in nassarawa united and enyimba and he has even coached in hercules (an european team in Finland). He was assistant to Keshi and Amodu. At least he has some coaching experience and should have been considered ahead of Yobo.
However, there are exceptions to the rule. Some people invent things and even contribute to knowledge without going to university but then you cannot do things based on exceptions and that is where the danger lies.
Innate ability is not enough without some kind of training. How competent is Yobo anyway. Has he been tested anywhere? The decision is funny and Yobo really has to work hard to prove a point.
An exception to the rule is Srinivasa Ramanujan who got a phd in Mathematics in Harvard based on research while he was poorly educated and also Vivien Thomas who performed cardiac surgery without a degree but then again, how many people are like that?
Again you cannot build anything on exceptions

you are absolutely right, but looking at it from another angle there are very few ex-players that are presently into coaching, I only know of Amunike who has another job already, Finidi who recently criticized Rhor so he definitely can't be offered the job and Olofinjana who has a better job in England. Maybe the NFF is trying to encourage more ex-players to go into coaching which isn't such a bad idea. Let's see how it goes

andrewbaba44:
Na here we go Dey and dem to pursue rohr For Yobo to take over

Make we Dey see

Yobo doesn’t deserve to be there doesn’t mean I don’t want the best for him

I hope they don't try it, hopefully it's just for him to learn and as Safari rightly put the home based eagles don't have any game soon, not sure they'll have any this year.

safarigirl:
Yes, that is what he is.

Salisu is still the main assistant.

wait, is Salisu still on board?

safarigirl:
he is ASSISTING, not coaching.

An assistant, can be an understudy. He will not be in charge, at any point.

He can enroll for the license, while on the job, just like people enroll for Masters and even First Degrees, while in employment. Maybe he will be promoted to Head Coach, after getting his certificate. Rohr has more than one assistant, does he not?

This life is not that complicated, make una relax.

hit the nail, he has his own backroom staff Yobo will only be there to act as a cheer leader and maybe recommend one or two players

edi287:
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.

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

Danielnino00:
I no understand Yoruba like that abeg..

Translate am

lol, hand of Esau voice of Jacob

edi287:
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.

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

Joebie:
Like Rorh has not drawn or lost against weak teams

don't mention the dead rubber against Madagascar give us another one

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

he obviously had information which wasn't known to the public then, it's a case of 'aje ke lana omo ku leni'

Earthquake2:
Oliseh is tactically sound but tactical ingenuity does not mean that you'll become a great coach

tactical ingenuity that can't beat Tanzania

Joebie:
He proved it at club level where he was able to coach on his own terms, and we all know how that ended. For Nigeria, he had to be a good manager as well to perform well.

I don't understand your first line, did the NFF force players on him? Or did they tell him to start packing graduates of his brother's academy into the SE

andrewbaba44:
What’s your point with this ?

How does this justify Yobo to be our assistant coach ?

You are now asking if anyone in our team has done that

Now please when last do we even have a cb playing in the epl that you want any of our cb to play all the 38 epl games ??

Sir you are no making any sense

You are just trying to justify mediocrity by all means

you people should calm down and read na, somebody said how was peak Yobo better than all our present defenders, that is the question he answered

edi287:
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.

you dey mind people who started watching football in 2013

Humility017:
this is ridiculous so because he played 38 games in a season for an average Everton team..
he qualifies as Rohr assistant? ??

no sir, that wasn't the question

BascoVanVeli:
Played all 38 league matches in a premier league season. Please as anybody on our team done that?

two or three seasons in a row

chrisooblog:
er bros it's ok to think Joseph Yobo will do well with the SE but please don't overhype his appointment.

sorry but which players look up to Yobo? Yes they might respect him as an ex-super eagles players but it's not like he's some living legend that the boys would adore. Mikel like you mentioned already would fit the role.

Yobo improve our defenders Really!? Really!!!? same Yobo that controlled our defence in 2010 world cup that conceded against almighty Greece and South Korea? same Yobo Keshi had to bench most of the time before we won 2013 AFCON?

Oga i respect Yobo for his longevity and sacrifice for the national team but please don't call a dog a cat just to sell him to us

please you don't have to bring his playing abilities into disrepute, peak Yobo is better than all the CB we parade now

Joebie:
Oliseh is a very good coach. but a very bad manager.

sadly he couldn't prove it, couldn't get out of the group in Chan, we struggled to draw Tanzania away from home. I'm not sure I'll agree he's a good coach

Eizzy003:
Please I just saw this and I need clarification
A lady was the referee in the match between Akwa United and Dakadda FC
Was it due to a shortage of referees or its a popular norm in the NNPL

happens once in a while also happens in the epl (though they use them as linesman) it's not a bad thing

tbaba1234:
So he is going there as an apprentice, learning the job?

What sets Yobo apart?

obviously he's going there to learn since we've sent the one who neither contributed nor learnt anything, let us send the one who won't contribute but learn something. Aside the fact that he's not qualified I don't see it as a bad appointment.

Danielnino00:
Then u should stop downplaying Haaland achievements with Salzburg.. Osimhen also played in Belgium..

I think the Belgian league is better than the Austrian league. IMO

tbaba1234:
Finidi will have his opportunity soon to show his ability.

abi o, that's how Oliseh criticised keshi so tey even failed to congratulate him after winning Afcon. When he took over I'm sure he saw how easy the job is

tbaba1234:
As far as i know, he doesn't.

And the press statement released by NFF, only talked about his professional career and nothing about his qualifications to be a coach.

hmmmmm. He's just an assistant, Rhor has his own assistant coach who he trust with tactical input not sure Imama contributed much too, not like that one sef get anything to contribute

BascoVanVeli:
Sure


https://soccernet.ng/2020/02/gernot-rohr-cant-take-super-eagles-to-international-glory-nigeria-legend-finidi-knocks-german-tactician.html

ouch, thanks

BascoVanVeli:
Only in Nigeria that people clamour for head coaches to become assistants.


This talk is ridiculous. Number one he is the assistant coach not U23 or CHAN. I don't even know what most assistant coaches look like. U people just feel like u should be angry but there is absolutely nothing to complain about. Yobo will be a super addition mark my words

how do you know he has no qualification?
Modified: question is for @tbaba1234 not you

BascoVanVeli:
Amunike is working in Egypt right now oga. Finidi just had harsh words for our coach so why would he be hired to work under him?

really?

TheSuperNerd:
It better not be serious Oh Chris because if not ehn....




Meanwhile have you heard of the name Edmond Tapsoba? Please browse am... I was marvelled at his defensive abilities on Haaland my boy today. Guy is a 21 year old Burkina babe. First na Awaziem and Salisu in La Liga... Young African defenders doing well, now Tapsoba have announced himself. Just check him out man... Another Francophone marvel. Lol

Just joined from a Portuguese club, he's highly rated

ChrisKels:
Kalu and Maja should be left out of the March list, for SiMoses and Dessers

I doubt if Rhor can leave Kalu out

Danielnino00:
How could u forget Ivory coast??

That squad of theirs from the 2000s to the early 2010s was a killer squad..

But what did they achieve ?
Senegal looks like they are going down the same path.

the groups weren't favourable to them tho. 2006 they had Holland and Argentina, 2010 they had Brazil and Portugal. They should have done better in 2014 but by then most of their stars were either at the end of their career or already retired plus their coach Sabri Lamouchi was a poor coach

tbaba1234:
CAF officials Ahmad Ahmad, Fouzi Lekjaa, Hany Abourida and Constant Omari have embezzled a whopping $24 million, according to a confidential audit conducted by PwC.
.

thank God Amaju no dey. I think this Ahmad guy won't last more than his first tenure

Danielnino00:
That brings back the argument I had with u d other day. During the Norway debate..


African teams underachieve a lot on the international stage mostly due to poor coaching. They have good players but can hardly play as a team..

I agree, plus inferiority complex, I think only Nigeria and Ghana are still OK. Cameroon and Egypt are the worst culprit, they can loose to a group of farmers and carpenters as long as they aren't Africans
