Oliseh is the kind of coach that will give you results, unfortunately such coaches are not loved, because people find them too strict. No player is bigger than the team, you either play to instructions or court the bench. A big player player like Emmanuel Dennis, might not play under Oliseh, and people are gonna hate Oliseh for that.

NFF might not handle a tactically sound coach, be it a native or foreigner because they will find the personnel difficulty to control.

NFF will also find it difficult to hire a foreign coach that is tactically savvy as Oliseh.

which result did he give last time he was coach?

elyte89:

I really hope this isn’t true

PDPGuy:
I prefer Klinsmann because he has more balanced approach to the game: his teams are not ultra-defensive nor ultra-attacking teams. Like Ancelotti, he’s tactical approach is ‘neutral’

in 2014 against Belgium their keeper faced 16 shots and that’s a World Cup knockout record, don’t know your definition of balanced sha

andrewbaba44:
Barcelona from no where to 2nd on Laliga

Same team almost everyone mocked when Messi left and at the start of the season due to their struggles

yeah, they said the players are average and not good enough to compete when it was just a coaching problem. It reminds me of one national team like that

BascoVanVeli:
Is this Amokachi's son?

yup, one half of the twins

lyricaldaboss:
Whats wrong with Klinsman?

Upgrade over Eguavon
Upgrade over Rohr
Known product compared to Mourinho's boy

couldn’t qualify USA for the 2018 WC plus he didn’t succeed at his last job

Danielnino00:
Jurgen Klismann or Marcelo Biesla??

Say NFF can afford both ( ) Who would you rather go for?

klinsmann? Take that man far away from the super eagles

andrewbaba44:
His bundesliga goal is 12 though

17 is his total goal this season which includes games from other competition

for last season and this season, he’s their top scorer in their Bundesliga history

Awoniyi is Union Berlin all time highest goalscorer in the bundesliga with 17 goals

Kog45:
Na to dey deliver for their clubs but when it comes to eagles na issue...sorry Oga Basco,our boys dey vex me.

because the quality of coaching is poor

joelsteron:
What qualifies all these names you mentioned to be assigned eagles job.? Be like say failure no dey tire some people shaa

I’m tired, e be like some people have some form of orgasm when the team fail. We about to waste these wonderful bunch of players just like we wasted the Osazes Martins Yakubu Utaka Uche brothers etc

Kog45:
Shehu sub should be investigated...okay wetin u wan talk with Onazi on standby...injury to Ndidi na Bonnke wey no dey list replaced Ndidi and started Kumasi match then why faded Onazi on standby....what of John Noble a bench warmer in NPFL who replaced Maduka....Oga Basco you see sey wahala dey.

Noble isn’t a bench warmer sha, he played the weekend before the Ghana games

TheSuperNerd:
Amunike coached a talentless Tanzania and got them qualified for the Afcon for only the 2nd time in their history. 39 yrs absence brought to a halt in 2019 by Amunike. And they didn't even make the next edition after he left.

Tanzania's only Afcon appearances are Afcon 1980 and Afcon 2019.

At Afcon 2019, Amunike Played some brave attacking football despite his tanzanian side being not so good quality wise. Their style earned them 3 big chances vs Algeria in a first round game which they squandered. They lost 3-0 but what would have been if they had stronger attacking quality to support Samatta.


Amunike won the Fifa U17 WC twice. Once as assistant to Manu Garba and another as the main boss the following year. But it is not his wins at that level that give him the credibility I note. It is the fact that his coaching style and tactics absolutely confounded the entire FIFA Technical Study group assigned to that tournament at Chile 2015.

Since then, Amunike has been part of the FIFA technical study group at Russia 2018 and just finished a technical role in CAF technical study group at the last Afcon won by Senegal.

So my dear Jide... Amunike deserves to be looked at. It is very clear his footballing Philosophy differs from Eguavoen even from an interview Amunike had before the 2nd leg.

Also, every tactical decision made in the first and second legs were made by Eguavoen.

you tried to give him some credit for 2013 U-17 victory but absolving him from the Ghana failure and he was assistant in both instances, no be juju be that? Besides U-17 doesn’t count, youth tournament no be ball. At the Afcon he lost to a beatable Kenya side. Since 2019 his career have grounded to a halt. He should go and find success elsewhere we’ll call him when we are satisfied, there are better coaches on the local scene (even though I don’t want us to go local)

TheSuperNerd:
Nigeria lost the Ticket in Kumasi. In Abuja we finally saw how imbalanced a wrong Midfield 3 can be. Also noted is Eguavoen’s ever annoying tactical monotonousness.



I want Amunike or Ndubuisi Egbo but most specially Amunike because they are tactical men. They know their stuff in the modern game.

If it must be a foreigner then it has to be a sound technician and not another European Journeyman.


Now let's continue this ride to the next Chapters.

once again I ask, what is Amunike’s antecedent? At least Egbo have won a league in a European country, what has Amunike done? If we want to hire a local coach we have Fidelis and Maikaba, coaches with a proper CV, well known style of play who have achieved on the local scene. Why is Amunike better than them? Besides, he was a key component in the Eguavoen team, they are all culpable he doesn’t stand out.

Oasis001:


Seems much more unpopular Opinion on this Thread now, but I still believe Amuneke should be given a Chance, but Alloy Agu should never near the Technical Crew again, rather Ike Shorunmu should be brought back.

you want to be using the super eagles to play Russian roulette? Honest question, what qualifies Amunike to be a good prospect for the eagles job? What qualities did you see to make you think he’ll be perfect for us ?

yinkeys:
Will NFF be able to pay Bernard ?
He won’t agree with the owing salaries part

just unfounded rumor, won’t happen

andrewbaba44:
Suddenly Ghana Now stand a chance against Uruguay and Portugal to qualify ,no be juju be that ?

They are saying this just to justify Ghana winning naija and nothing much

Nothing against Ghana as I want them to even scale through,but I know my people here ,once Ghana wins or draw against Uruguay they will tell you why naija could not win them

I’m not rating Ghana chances because they beat us o, pages back I pointed out how Ghana played nonsense over both legs but I expect them to get more players in plus the coach would have spent more time with them. Also, both Portugal and Uruguay aren’t very reliable, they can fall hand anytime

forgiveness:
And they dropped this one from the qualifiers.

he wouldn’t have done anything tho, our problem was not scoring goals but creating them

andrewbaba44:
It seems you don’t know Uruguay ,you rate Ghana ahead of them

Ghana stand a very good chance, Uruguay is good but not unbeatable same as Portugal

JohnBullMySon:
Let's face it. If Nigerians are the ones to complain about poor players then we have an extremely poor coaching setup. If we are waiting for Messi or Ronaldo to be in our squad before we can beat teams like Ghana and Tunisia, then something must be really wrong with us.

For the last ten games Nigeria has played. I hardly saw a team with a better squad. I hardly saw a game we came in as underdogs. Even the commentators say it all the time that Nigeria's squad is magnificent on paper compared with the opponent. So why are you asking for better players again?

We play poorly as a team. One of the issues I noticed in the Ghana double header was how we found it difficult to locate each other. That's why our players perform well at club level but are below par in the NT. Eiither we throw a through pass and it misses or we wait a long time before releasing the ball. These are indications that we're not organized.

Credit to Ghana, but they were piss poor in the qualifiers. We were the ones who just handed the WC ticket to them. Otto addo's job was simply to organize the defense and wait for a lucky goal, because our build up is very poor, our teamwork is bad.

So if you're waiting for a world class eleven just to beat Ghana or Cameroun or Tunisia. That will not come in long time. But we can reclaim our place in Africa by simply organizing our team.

well said, I’ve seen a lot of people criticize the players when it was clear our problem was more about coaching.

caprikon:
I really admire the job done by Carlos Quiroz with the Iranian team and the Pharoahs.

A good candidate for the SE job.

not happening. 1. Egypt paid him 90k/mo, I’m not sure Nigeria have that. 2. His style is boring and very defensive , una go start to dey cry that he’s not utilizing our ‘World class’ players very well.

daveP:
To be sincere, we need a thorough rebuild before the world leaves us behind. Not saying what we have on ground can't be marshalled to a top-notch level, but we need to adapt to this modern style that involves systems, one that heavily relies on team play and fluidity. Rebuild is the perfect word. Enough of managing. The disconnect is already at peak, that's why the fans did that, even if not justified one bit. Dunno if we can be that patient Sha.

we don’t need a rebuild, we just need to hire a competent coach

semid4lyfe:
Our Super Efiko has given this thread a wide berth

But

He's waxing lyrical on twitter and spinning yarn about Emmanuel Ammuneke being the tactical genius and Kelechi Nwakali being the midfield conductor/ orchestrator that will turn around the fortunes of the Super Eagles.

It is well even in the well.

joe too will soon come and tell us how he’ll turn super eagles to prime Barca. They don’t learn

semid4lyfe:
The title of the thread has been changed to

The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2023, 2025 And 2026 World Cup

I think this new title encapsulates the journey towards achieving our new set goals and targets.

this is perfect

Bielsa will be perfect as our next coach but fundsssssss

Odunayaw:
• There was no individual Ghanaian player you could even bank on in the first place
• Defended? Even CAR could do the same

A team that practically defended 90mins is what you are trying to apply make up for to look pretty? Do we talk of the wayward long passes off to throw-in or how for large periods they were in their own half?

When I first began to learn chess I spent time learning the most common opening moves of chess; Queen Gambit. I learnt how to counter it and dissuade it's user from following through with. With time those who were popular in my school began to draw and lose to me because I only came to the board knowing they'd play that and I had mastered how to nullify it.

Fast foward to when I started meeting more skillful chess players. I chop am woto woto

I think you should get where I'm driving at. Bless God Otto's gamble worked but you'd be lying to yourself if you think he did anything outside being a spoiler

I agree, Ghana only qualified because we were poor not because they did anything special. Over 180min of football the only time they impressed was the first 20min in Kumasi, but I’m not writing them off, I expect him to invite proper footballers before the World Cup

mank1234:
You didn't add ex-internationals that lured the fans into campaigning for Rhor's sacking.

I know one day we’ll be free from the grip of the ‘94 set. They pressured the sport minister till he forced Pinnick to hire one of them. I’m sure Pinnick must be beating himself up for not following his instinct and bringing in Paseiro

Ppogbae:
How on Earth did Yobo get on the coaching staff?

What are his qualifications? What are his credentials? Coaching licenses?

Doesn’t have any

M7even:
I kind of understand why Rohr never thought of his team as having superstars and why he always sounded modest about them. As a matter of fact they are very much average, and we failed to wake up on this thought.

My dissatisfaction with Rohr was that he allowed his knowledge of the averageness of the team to simmer into his selections and overall cautious game plan. And and the latter point this didn't work especially with teams we should not be average against. CAR at home but he redeemed himself with a win on a neutral ground. Then seira Leone at home and away. Then CV. He was no longer playing like we were average , he was setting us up like we were coequal of below average teams

‘Rohr doesn’t speak positively, he transmits negative energy to the boys’. Una don see Eguavoen wey promise heaven and earth shey una body don calm down.

andrewbaba44:
Eguavoen resigns

the NFF have sacked all of them

codemaniacs:
And Eguavoen was the coach on the two occasions.

he wasn’t the reason for the first one, blame Chukwu for that
