* Emmanuel Amunike.

* Daniel Amokachi.

* Michael Nsien.

As seen on Twitter

4 or 5 years show you have enough confidence in whom you are hiring
I disagree even club sides that should have a bit more guarantee and stability mostly give 2 or 3 years, Germany only recently extended Nagelsman’s deal to 2026. You need to be sure of what you are doing before handing a coach a long term deal, if the coach turns out to be a dunce how do you wiggle out of paying unnecessary compensation fee after you sack the coach

Felix Owolabi that belonged to the era of drunker and smokers played the game at 40…Roger Milla played the game at 40.

Wishing Mikel happy birthday is now an issue to you.
watched highlight of our 3-1 loss to Sweden in 94, our only goal was scored by a certain Joseph Odegbami, is he related to Segun Odegbami?

Woah!!!! I pray he did it oooo, at least he was able to get a Job outside

what had Manu, that Oga humble is fronting for donehuh Had he ventures outside oncehuh

No matter the result, Imama had earned my respect, kudos to him
looking at the table it seems he has started well, the club have won 3 of last 4 games which coincided with the period he joined them

2 year contract means they don't trust the person they are giving the job and the person himself does not see a long term future in the job

Setup for failure
so you prefer a 5 years contract? I think 2 is fair

Respect to amodu but his team playing pattern was boring,lethargic and non inspiring…we had our hearts in our mouth watching his team ,I would say Amodu is d opposite of siasia ….he has dt good luck riding for him at crucial moments (one can’t really pin point his playing pattern,always drab but will deliver at d end of d day),while siasia team will play d best of football,but when it mattered most(finals,semi final, a match to qualify us) ,na dt time siasia team go fumble .
Thank you!!!

Yes Nsofor was crucial during that period. My distinct memory of that era was of a very flat midfield (that was the time when Mourinho almost completely suppressed Mikel's flair) and an above average defense constantly getting bailed out of jail by Enyeama.
just like we have now? I think you are just being nostalgic, I’m sure if I search for post about Super eagles between the period of 2008-2010 it will be filled with criticism

Kompany has what it takes to do well in the EPL. He underrated the league and did not secure the right players. The players are there but it takes focused scouting to build the right teams. Numerous coaches have built and groomed players to fit it. It also takes patience.
what does this even mean?

True but he always delivered and met his targets. Qualified Nigeria twice for WC and won two AFCON bronzes without the best of talent yet we still undermine his efforts.
the last part isn’t true, Amodu had peak martins, Utaka,Yakubu, Osaze,Nsofor, Mikel also had portmouth Kanu

The only local coach given the chance to manage the SE was Shaibu Amodu but he was hounded and disrespected despite delivering on his targets.
not to defend the NFF but Amodu’s teams were very boring and we often struggled in games

Emordi was a little more recent than Ikhana. You forgot him.

Kadiri Ikhana in 2003 (won it) and Okey Emordi in 2004 (won it).

Kelechi Emeteole was the most recent. 2009 with Heartland (Iwuanyanwu Nationale) but passed away in 2017.

To be honest, Emordi and Ikhana were never mentioned strongly regarding the SE job whenever it was available and it also baffled me back then growing up.
thank you jare totally forgot Emordi

You right we've had poor coaches whether Nigerian or foreign.

For me the first criteria whenever the discussion of choosing a coach comes up is competence followed by if he's Nigerian. I will never under any misguided patriotism advocate for an obviously unqualified local coach to handle the SE if the foreign one is a better option.
my biggest issue is we never give the most qualified Nigerians the job, Emetole and Kadiri Ikhana are the most recent Nigerians to make Caf champions league finals but both of them were never considered for the SE job but we kept on giving exinternationals like Chukwu,Eguavoen etc, who couldn’t cut it the Nigerian league.

Lol... Amunike also successfully managed U17, U20 and two NPFL sides in Julius Berger (now Bridge FC) and Ocean Boys before he even got the U17 Job in 2013.

Now tell me, has Manu coached a senior national team before?
successfully managed U-17? Sure but can’t say the same about U-20

Amedino99:
it was a week long competition and it was for our u15. If they went for the tournament they would have been back and it would have been good preparation for the WAFU B and besides Manu's work does not extend to the u15 as they have a separate coach named Patrick bassey. There's another reason for it and knowing the NFF, I'm not sure we will hear the reason any time soon.
I’ve seen people’s tweet complaining about the Spanish embassy, I know Nigeria/Nigerians are very corrupt but abeg let’s be giving them benefit of doubt sometimes

If you took your son to the trials and they turned you back that the team is full

Same team that was claimed to be assembled few days ago then you wouldn’t be saying this
and you are very foolish for spitting rubbish, why will I take my son for a nonexistent trial? Do England or Spain do open screening or they just pick players from clubs?

The NFF has a functioning under 15/16 team since Amaju era. The team is made up of the best young talent across the country. They were recently denied visa by Spain for a UEFA under 16 tournament. Read the news to know whatz up, not everything be fraud. Rest!
I hate this thing Nigerians do, they see a headline and just conclude it’s definitely fraud at work. Never seen a bunch of people who hate their country so much like Nigerians

you people should try to act reasonable na, there’s a tournament in few weeks time but you are here asking the coach to do open screening. There are academies scatter all over the country, Garba is a coach with plenty experience at youth level so you think unless egunje he can’t assemble 50 players ?

The only player Yekini had real language understanding with is Amokachi and it’s Hausa language.

Yekini speak Hausa better than Yoruba,cuz of it he was more closer to Amokachi,so Amokachie was not beefing Yekini then but I can say Siasia fall out with Yekini after Cote d’voire match cus Yekini took it personal.

Siasia lost his position to Amokachie due to that missed,not due to his overall performance.Keshi was like no it happened in football and why Siasia should be turned to villain.After this the team camp broke into groups and Westerhoff saw it and called a meeting that no Siasia I did it for football reasoning.

Tactically Okocha was sacrificed for Siasia during US94 but things went soar before Italy match,Siasia had training bust up with Oliseh which made Westerhof to axed him from starting line up,some players are not happy with that decision.

Nigeria missing 96 Afcon,saw another strong group of players emerging from Atlanta 96 and did all they could do to block US 94 players from forming new nucleus of eagles.Checking out 98 WC team,injuries and poor friendlies matches brought Rufai,Yekini,Eguavoen,Okafor and Iroha back.

If you check it out Amokachi stabbed Keshi at the back during Afcon 2013 and stabbed Siasia on under 23 job….Oliseh love criticizing Keshi and Siasia at any given moment.This is to tell you the beefing in eagles.

I just hope they all support Amunike this time around

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkDbTSYhCxI?si=HQm7NNv18yy12wMC it was after watching this I knew Oliseh and Sia1 aren’t friends. According to Siasia he was dropped for the Italy game because he and Oliseh fought during training

I just rewatched that video now and I can see dissatisfaction from Amuneke, Finidi and some players as soon as he scored.

As soon as he scored and entered the post, Findi, Amuneke and one other player just walked away with little excitement.

Meaning, the thing pain dem die. I can't imagine someone scoring our first goal and you just walked away like that. Who does that?

There was already crack in the team and it was alleged that soon as Amuneke entered the team, he brought bad belle.
how do you people come up with this sort of thing? You made all these conclusion from TV?
