You don’t know velverde? Man U was even considering him ,he won 2 Laliga at Barcelona and almost went un beaten for a full season

Laurent Blanc has won many league titles in the French league ,he won about 3 league titles at Psg and even won the league with Bordeaux during the 2008 season or so

Lastly I don’t see any of this 2 coaching naija ,it’s almost impossible

Laurent Blanc have been jobless for a while, he may want to come for the adventure
But I sure say na Paseiro them go pick

Saw a report that the technical committee submitted the name of 3 coaches, Ernesto Valverde, Laurent Blanc and Paseiro

When we played at Abuja. Something crossed my mind. What if someone sneaked a rifle into the stadium

Buhari was supposed to be at the game but there was a security report that an attack could happen

charlesemeka85:

See Maduka Okoye today ooo 🤣🤣.

Make Nff just go find foreign goalkeepers, convince them to come keep for Nigeria. It is finished

I am not understanding o. Hodgson no too send am be that, even Troost and Etebo I no see dem for bench. Btw we can't ever call Hodgson racist, remembering his black dominated CP.

only Kalu makes the bench, maybe he’s not a fan of Dennis

For the second straight game Emmanuel Dennis start from the bench

andrewbaba44:
Assist should be given to iwobi

Nice play so far

not sure he got it

IDENNAA:
Osimhem is a good guy with a great heart but a bit hot tempered. I understand him very well because this is a guy who gives everything and he felt he doesn't deserve condemnation. He will grow and handle things better. As for Oshoala ....madam female football and male football are not the same. Osimhem is more valuable than you...bitter facts. Next time , put your money where your mouth is.

wow! You aren’t only a racist but also a sexist. Niceeee

AndSunGorilla:
Bet in this case, punditry na Ikpeba business.

but make we no lie Ikpeba na pundit isonu

TFLASHOGEE:
calm down oshoala started the cruise and now she has been striped off the captain hand band in the national team it is you who should read and understand, she isn't supposed to catch cruise with what ipkeba Said he was actually giving his opinion on a Live TV doing is punditry job will rashford come out and call liniker an agabaya for something he will say about rashford in the studio simply because an English female player wanna catch cruise

I think she was stripped for a different reason tho

According to owngoal, a Portuguese is currently leading the chase as the next SE coach

Really feel bad for this boy

Odunayaw:
Remember Tom Saintfiet? We have history with this one in 2012. The NFF preferred a Nigerian to be the Technical Director and therefore forced him out (Dem no give am work visa)

This is one decent tactician

just went through his profile, looks very good plus low cost as he has worked with poor countries for most of his career so lack of funds or not being paid promptly won’t be an issue

Joezinho:
Boss, okocha wasn't in Launda. He only played the return leg at Kano stadium where he scored the goal before Figueredo equalized in the 60th minute..

Just look at the shiitty squad Christian chukwu took to Launda. These local coaches are bunch of waste pipes. Imagine Carpenters like Paul Obiefule, Ekwueme, Rabiu Baita, Akaruya Robert etc. Kaiii.. Egunje men.. The only thing that matters to them is their pocket.

can’t really blame Chukwu. One, there were lot of withdrawals e.g Kanu Okocha Osaze Yakubu Martins etc and most of them gave very flimsy reasons. Two, lot of people were clamoring for more home based players in our team, the pressure on Chukwu to give them more opportunities was kinda much so he had no choice than to bow to pressure

Our tradition atleast won the 2014 Afcon which your precious foreign borns couldn't get out of round 16 against a rag tag Tunisia

VM a foreign groom was the best player in that tournament

Barryseal:
What does that say about your passionate foreign born players who turned up in mass and still couldn't pick the ticket ahead of Ghana?

so people teams aren’t supposed to lose games? Are they the coach who is tactically deficient?

TheSuperNerd:
Ladies and Gentlemen, Savages, Violence Lords, Trolls and Comedians.... here we go again...

It's the NFF board and NFF Technical committee show....

sorry o but is Eguavoen not head of this technical committee?

Barryseal:
The game in Luanda we went with just 15 players including 2 goalkeepers. Without the captain, no leadership. Upon that, Angola only managed to score one goal. If Angola were that good, they should have beaten us 7-0 that day.
Okocha was the BBC African footballer of the year, what makes you think he couldn't have made a difference?
Do you know Okocha's presence alone used to scare the Jesus out of African opponents?

do you know why we went with just 15 players? Because some of your passionate local players refused to turn up, e.g Yakubu and okocha

Barryseal:
You argue like a kid. Take my advice and stay off what you have no knowledge about. Focus on your education and other extra curricular activities like, you know, girls..
TF you don't know it's difficult to replace an influencial captain, a player whose style of play defined a generation. You don't wean yourself off such a figure at the drop of the hat in a middle of a qualifier. It's a systematic approach.
The fact you're picking on ONLY 2006 kinda substantiates the point that our football culture and tradition if respected always qualified us for world cups. Go take a sit.

2015 and 2017 when you couldn’t qualify for ordinary Afcon nko? Where was your tradition?

The Ministry of Youth and Sports and the NFF Executives met yesterday in Abuja.

Today, the NFF Executive Members will be meeting in Abuja.

A new coaching crew for the Super Eagles will be set up.

NFF has informed the Ministry that; They want to go for a foreign coach

The NFF are not interested in any member of the Class of 94 for now.

The NFF won't consider Sunday Oliseh as suggested by the Ministry.

However, the direction isn't clear yet.

Ministry - Class of 94.

NFF - Foreign coach as head with domestic coaches as assistants.

What energy are we using to approach "these FBs"

the funny thing we don’t even beg them, have you seen the way these francophone countries go after players ? See the way Ghana went after Odoi

mostob:
Andrew... we're not.
When last did we have anything relating to U17 and U20 in Nigeria?
We need to invest the same energy we use in approaching these FBs to invest in our grassroot football too. Our HGs are the foundation of the team, any FBs that wanna play for us should make up his mind.
Look at how fast Plumptre's switch was....
The way Ekong stepped up to take the penalty..
Balogun going to Ghana's dressing room to congratulate them.
Those are the kind of FBs we want not those that are just playing for playing sake or just to boost their career.

the last time a youth tournament was played was in 2019, the NFF are actually trying in that regards they just need to hire good coaches for them

mostob:
All your assertions here are too sentimental oga....
There are some FBs that are just there for international status sake.
For the passion talk, Dem no dey write am for face. I have many instances already.
And you can't sit down at the corner of your room and assert that the rejected FBs are better than HG. No, you don't know that sir.

can you be kind enough to give us 2 instances?

TheSuperNerd:
Zaidu wins Porto's MVP of the game (Award is called Porto's Merit and Values MVP award)

His teammate, Fabio Vieira won the Liga Portugal Match MVP.

FC Porto sits top of the Portuguese Primeira Liga BWIN with 6 Matchdays to go. They lead by 6 pts.

FC Porto don’t like Nigerians blablablabla where are the ogogoro analysts that used to say this sef?

Kog45:
Blaming games since Nigeria failed to qualify for Qatar 2022 but really surprised here we are running away from reality. but now foreign borns are the issue......it is simple Amaju led NFF just have to go.

Imagine since september 2014 with Amaju as NFF boss Nigeria won bronze in 2019 afcon snd RIO 2016 bronze.What can we say about state of NPFL.The league deteriorated so much that it seems there is no hope again.The under age team that is always a good platform for the future is totally down,the female team is not like before......The big question what is Amaju led NFF achievement in the last 7 years? am expecting answer like he branded and opened eagles to the world with sponsors.Anyone with this mindset should go into archive and check what Emeka Omeruah did for Nigeria football regarding branding and sponsorship.

This is the worst NFF ever with no blue print for Nigeria football.Imagine Samuel Eto in few months as Cameroon FA boss achieved what Amaju board can only boast for 7 years,won afcon bronze and world cup.ticket for Cameroon and here we are ranting on foreign borns as if they are not Nigerians,blaming coaches as if they just find themselves on the seat,leaving toothless NFF board that lack directions on the way forward.

NFF that keep on celebrating 2018 WC qualification as if we have not been to the same WC five times.Under this NFF we failed to qualify for afcon twice and now WC but here with.our knowledge about the game we are discussing issues as if administration has nothing to do with football success...everybody should listen there is no short cut to success.Truly Italy lost out but they won euro so we should stop that comparison,for God sake we failed to qualify for afcon quarter final and failed to make it to WC.

A well.organised football.administration always gives a solid foundation for real development not this present board who are ready to sacrifice Nigeria football just for FIFA seats,playing politics with the game that always keeping Nigerians happy in this very harsh economy situation,insecurity and corrupt government.

2015 U-17 WC too

JohnBullMySon:
They all looking for how to make it seem like it wasn't Eguavoen's fault.

One idiot somewhere too wanted to blame Pinnick, as if they're not the ones who forced Eguavoen on him.

Eguavoen himself said Rohr was sacked at the wrong time, such a shameless man with no integrity. As the TD of the NFF why didn’t he say that before they fired Rohr? Or why didn’t he reject the job on the grounds that he won’t be able to meet the objectives of the job

TheSuperNerd:
Ofcos it is connected. Lad needed time to clear his head. He really hurt after the Abuja disaster.

He missed the Afcon earlier this year and is going to miss the WC. It's been a tough time for Victor personally. A lad like that wanna and should be playing in tournaments like these.

But he will be back from the next game. He has to put all his focus into trying to win the Scudetto. That will be some consolation for him going forward.

I remember how tough it was for Mikel also missing the 2006 WC as a youngster and getting ruled out for the 2010 WC due to injury. He still recovered from the disappointments and won the Afcon in 2013 and went to 2 WCs in 2014 and 2018.

So Victor will be fine. Lions keep things moving. And he is a lionhearted individual.

only for Ikpeba to climb television to tell us Osimhen is the reason why we no qualify. That 94 set should be done away with, Celestine and Amokachi dey blame foreign born, ikpeba blamed Osimhen I wonder if Rohr was still the coach if they’d have done same, they are finding it difficult to blame their friend

Amedino99:
Our problem has always been coaching. The passion won't coverup the incompetence of the coaching crew . You are just picking on innocent people. Even quality get grade. Even in their 'rejected status' they are still better than the home based players. What should be paramount should be the quality of the players. What is the essence of Simon's passion if he is only going to continue to play rubbish for us. The segregation seems kinda offensive. A Nigerian is the same no matter the origin.

I’ll never understand the word ‘passion’, nobody get passion pass Italian players but they are about to miss back to back World Cup. Passion my foot

mostob:
Oh... thanks.
I don't know why Moses doesn't sound like a FB to me. I learnt he was born here and both his parents are Nigerian.

iwobi parents aren’t from Nigeria or was he not born here too? Ademola’s parents are from Nigeria and comes home regularly. Oga you are just being discriminatory, not surprised tho a whole lot of Nigerians are like that

mostob:
Anger?
I'm not angry bro..just stating the facts

you aren’t stating facts just your own opinion

Danielnino00:
According to Napoli, Osimhen asked to be excused from the Atalanta game due to "personal reasons".

Can't say it's unconnected to our world cup failure...

but he’s on suspension??

mostob:
I'm not disputing the fact that we have been victim of poor coaching and management.
My stand is running after all these half-baked(I call them half-baked cos they couldn't even make the original team) FBs under the guise that we don't have quality player should stop. Our problem is coaching not players.
Running after FBs while we have the homegrown ones is kind of discouraging.
After all, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not sure there was a single FB in the squad that won our last AFCON.
The bottom line is that these FBs won't give you the level of commitment and passion you want compared to the homegrown players.

which homegrown do you have? For example, which homegrown full back is better than Aina?
