To be candid, NFF DISRESPECTED Finidi George with the demotion, plus his salary was to be REDUCED from N15m to N5m if he continued on the job.

There is no way he will continue after the press release HUMILIATION.

Link please

na everything una go dey ask for link 😏, one of his friends had to collect his phone to end it

Someone on his team had to collect the phone from him to end the live

Osimhen is currently on Instagram live he dey para, he’s dragging Finidi

zicky:
He was never qualified to coach the SE, I don't know how Nff came to the conclusion of giving him the job.

I wanted Finidi for the job when it became obvious NFF wanted a local coach, but was disappointed that NFF didn’t do any interview even after throwing the job open to the public. I’m sure if they had interviewed all interested candidates there’s no way they’d have picked Mr Finidi

elyte89:
Can we confirm dis story

Tobi have been the first person to post any fresh update about Finidi so I’ll love to believe it’s true

Odunayaw:
You just buttressed his point because Shehu had to get injured for him to find a spot.

thank you o!!!!

Katcall:
Hello Mister man. Under rohr he started every game in afcon 2019 after replacing Shehu Abdulahi at RB against Burundi. I know you don't like him but coming here to malign him is not fair at all

he’s a CB by trade now read what you type AFTER REPLACING SHEHU ABDULAHI AT RB, which means he only got to play because of Abdulahi’s injury

Joebie:
You will get what u pay for.

true, at least most of these grade C European coaches have proved they can get us playing decently against African opponents, at least I’ll take that over what we got with Eguavoen Siasia and Oliseh

Joebie:
I see a lot short gigs. Several backwater league titles. And an AFCON bronze several of our indigenous coaches have matched or even bettered.
Just a journey man experienced but lacking the profile good enough for a country like Nigeria. We can do far better.

won Spanish division 2 twice won Romanian league Afcon bronze, not a huge profile but if you can appoint Finidi and also have Amunike name whispered around the job then this is several steps an upgrade

daveP:
That's true. Do we have any qualifiers match again this year? Atall. 2months is long sha.

Afcon qualifier starts by September

9JAMac10:
Simone pls tell why awaziem is still being invited to the team. That man has been in the team a long time with little effort and progress

didn’t even see this before I made my own comment

elyte89:



The new coach would need to be a bit strict and brutal ,

If I were to b d new coach,I will make sure all dis content creators we parade as players need to sit up or Dey re shipped out of d team; reduce / eliminate unnecessary interviews(camp rules will b tightened a bit)

Search for more dedicated players that re ready to spill deir last sweat on d pitch(we av so many players inching to be invited to showcase what Dey can offer)…presently we av too many comfortable, unprofessional and unproductive players in our team. That needs to stop 🛑 .

for a start the next coach need to throw Awaziem away, since 2017 or so he has never been a starter despite playing under 4 different coaches. His spot should be given to a younger and more productive defender

TheGoodJoe:


Amunike shot above his weight with Tanzania.

Finito.

No he didn’t

daveP:
These two are very good candidates with respect to the personnel on ground.

Renard and Pedro Goncalves. But they may be overlooked cos we all know how those oldies in Glass house got loose screws in their skulls

Olympics is just around the corner, no way Renard is leaving France

TheGoodJoe:
Anybody but Amunike.

Fully understood.

if you love Amunike you won’t even advise him to take the job right now

Rockyrascal:
we could have invited him a long time ago

he turned us down

Truidstarr:
Na oyibo dem wan give am to. My problem is if Finidi will agree to be number 2 again. The proposed techical adviser will want to bring his own team.

if he agrees to be number 2 then he has no shame

Danielnino00:
I have a feeling that Finidi might start Onuachu against Benin just to spite his critics, based on his post match rants

😆 he won’t, there’s a World Cup ticket on the line, personally I’ll start Moffi at CF then bench Lookman for Boniface. Lookman played on Sunday, travelled on Tuesday and played 90min yesterday, he can come in later in the game.

Katcall:
Finidi used osayi a rightback on the left and tanimu a center back on the right. What happened to the two home based fullbacks he invited to the national team

you don’t want to fill the team with too many debutants, you can’t do too many chop and change ahead of a crucial game

dijon:
"Allow you do your job" has cost you a win in your first real official match. This mentality will not take him far in SE.

You dumped a very top player in Boniface that is ability is not in doubt on the bench and started a Onuachu that fans have never liked his football with SE and you have the temerity to tell fans to Allow you do your job. Nigeria coaches and that statement is like 5 and 6.

You started kelechi that is terribly off form...I can't remember if Kelechi has played upto 4 matches this year 2024 with Leicester City.

You took Tanimunu to play central defence, and Bassey to play left back so as to please your bosses that want to sell players and when it boomerang on you, you switched Tanminu ro right back, Osayi to left back and turned SA to prime Brazil in the first half.

Finidi is not the manager that will qualify SE to the world cup. Directionless NFF should relive him now before it's too late...too many elementary decision making in playing selection and formation.

I predicted maximum 2 point in the two matches because of all what I have seen and observe from the end of Afcon mid February to the 30th of April 2024.

SE will not beat Benin with Finidi in charge...he does not have it all...too inexperienced. He is already cracking.

Nawa o

codemaniacs:


The NFF are the ones meant to provide the facilities and infrastructure for VAR and insist on VAR..

It is the incompetence of the NFF that there was no VAR in this match.

So it will be foolish of the NFF to file a petition just to hide their incompetency.

tell me one match that have used VAR in this qualifying series 🤦🏿

Subzerooo:


No they did not, what happened when the result was in balance, the better team dominated, reset the match and you'll get the same result

they didn’t get the result they wanted, why didn’t they just park the bus from the start? At 1-1 they were still coming but we also played with more aggression and better use of the ball

Mujtahida:

Fantastic player. Doesn't play tiki taka sha

press him neck 😂

isan:
Nigerians are going to love finidi , this is how nigerians want their team to play

if he get the time I think he’ll be ok but he need to work on his defence we were too open today

Odunayaw:
Finidi gets a B rating for this game

Only up from here

the first half was horrendous but the second half was much better, it’s not unusual for a coach’s first game

3 draws in a row, ogbono merchant

Will be a long night for us

M7even:


We will miss the dirty works of frank the tank in this match. However Ndidi new found ability to be a B2B player will be helpful.Ndidi can now score and assist.

could also be dangerous, when he vacates the DM role who is going to be there?

Onuachu starting at CF is very interesting, I hope he’ll repay the coach’s trust
