Team or Teams?? I ask again is the NFF "Nigeria SUPER EAGLES Federation" ?? Answer this question, then take a thorough look at our FOOTBALL in general, you will realize that the Amaju Pinnick led NFF has been a disgrace!!
amaju pinnick has some blames to shoulder and mind you there is something called ministry of sports who also have some level of responsibility to carry out and you can't say you haven't heard about the nff complaining lack of funds to carry out some projects.

grin grin grin well maybe pinnick his writing his name in bronze then as that what we have won so far under his administration at senior leave but at The under 17 he as a gold in his name wink and when we eventually win the afcon he will write his name in Gold wink but mind you pinnick isn't the coach or part of the technical crew of the team he his an administrator in the glass house.

Based on what? His blueprint? His picking of the team of coaches? His funding of the selection program?

Please.

Mbok, list good now?

$2 million clause in Rhor's contract to keep him in charge even if he messes up.

Employing a man that has no footballing history as the chief scout of the super eagles and share salary with Rhor.

Please.

Maigari wrote his name in gold.

His AFCON win in a time we suffered from lack of young talents, then restructured our youth football that we enjoyed the dividend today.

He wrote his name in gold.

Pinnick's life and tenure.
You're right about Maigari

Manu Garba/Amunike were part of Maigari project

Pinnick initially started well with the Zenith bank under 15 cup qnd others but little is heard of it today

I so much wish he is concerned of football management in nigeria just as he is with his CAF/FIFA ambition everything would've been alright

How him and other west africa delegates in CAF approved this AWCON qualification format baffles me..... we may get to play Ivory coast next and thats scary..... even though our male cadet teams and female teams can keep getting away sometimes to qualify from this format but we can't be sure of victory always reason why the format need to be contested

did you expect him to sack the coach or disband an already assembled team that has already won the African championship and on course to do well at the world cup because if I mention clown now you will pick offense grin grin grin so what the use of the continuity you mentioned earlier if you won't give him credit for an achievement that happened under him as the head of the nff as at the time they won the tournament grin even the present administration in aso rock is taken Glory for project which was started and almost complited by their opposition,all in the name of continuity wink

...enough room to pick good players,no room for failure especially from national teams like Nigeria,Algeria,Morocco,Egypt,Tunisia,Senegal and Cote d'voire.

not to mention a rookie Vincent Enyeama, that send Ike Shorunmu home to rest
funny enough a university coach name Adisa discovered Vincent Enyeama,Austin Ejide and Dele Aiyenugba.

Also discovered Seyi Olofinjana and ex polish international Emma Olisadebe.

Ex international Alloy Agu till date find it so difficult to give us a keeper in NPFL just to complement the efforts of foreign based keepers.

If the duo can keep the momentum good for eagles.

But I would have love Awoniyi on the bench coming in as a sub with another formation...after re watched Nigeria vs CAR second half i saw that synergy between Osimehn and Awoniyi,unfortunately we lost that match.

Thank you my bro....

I have been watching eagles since Afcon 1980 and I think I should be in a position to say it as regards experience and rookies.

What most coaches are after is quality of a team and the only way out is to file out your best players regardless of their age.

Sunday Oliseh came into eagles in 1993 and sent out experienced Friday Ekpo from the team.

Austin Okocha came in 1993 and cemented his place in the team.

Finidi George a rookie was a used sub replaced misfiring Austin Eguavoen against Burkina Faso and made three assists.

Ajibade Babalade was a rookie who shown brilliantly in Senegal 92.

Emma Amuneke was a rookie and did well at Tunisia 94 in just a match,scoring a brace.

Sunday Mba a rookie gave us Afcon 2013 and rookies Omeruo and Oboboana sent experienced Yobo to the bench.

Keshi a rookie and a captain with his set of rookies were wonderful at Ivory Coast Afcon 1984.

Clemens Westerhoff went to Algiers 1990 with rookies and did well.
Like the goodjoe says quality is the most important consideration. If an experienced player lacks the quality, he should give way. Tournaments are not won by the number of times the players have played at tournaments.

Exactly I saw that too however, they were both in camp during their under 17 days.

With a good coach both can be well utilized in either 352 or 442 formation.

I think everything depends on what Iheanacho brings to the table.

In form Iheanacho should partner Osimehn and bringing Awoniyi in would be great.We are just saying it,everything depends on Rohr formations.

I remember Yekini,Siasia and Amokachie were starters at US 94 and they gave us four goals.

AFCON is at risk for 2022. There have been legal fights between the bodies responsible for making the tournament happen. The main problem is that the President of FECAFOOT is in his role illegally. Postponement or cancellation are a big possibility.

"It's something that is fast gaining ground across the world. I remember that in 2005, 2006, it was under Jose Mourinho when he was at Chelsea Football Club and I worked in the academy," Adelakun told Channels Television.

"And Jose Mourinho actually imbibed in us the art of scouting, he made us realize that there's very little that you need to do on the pitch if you don't know your opponents and if you don't know the strengths of your players.


Like you employ a guy because he says Mourinho taught him the art of scouting. Please, let him list the players he scouted for Mourinho or Chelsea academy.

That is why he should share salary with Super Eagles coach. All I see is runs.

Sir,apart from Super eagles 2018 WC qualification and afcon 2019 bronze Pinnick Amaju has not done much for Nigeria football and football development is bigger than Super eagles.

Tamunotonye22:
Because international games are different, club games have players training and basically living their lives together everyday until one gets a call-up, which is by consistent good performance. Imagine having koulibaly at the defense and di Lorenzo, mertens, insigne and anguissa almost every week, telling them how you want your passes based on the number of trainings and failures in mastering it. And then you come to the national team to play with (S. Moses, S. Kalu, ebuehi, aina and shehu, with their different tactics and game play) others, you'd have to adjust and adapt for a while,bar injuries.
Btw, in as much as teams shape players, team mates shape themselves too.

Remember Chile has never had a better squad than Argentina, but they've beaten them to the cup back-to-back.
that's my point, and this where the coach came in,

by bring on a system that could still bring out the best in them, as per club football, a technician, and tactically sound, or savory coach, will know what to do, and how to go about doing it

So this is the footballing history to become Chief Scout of the Super Eagles. Like seriously.

If this does not show how much a disaster Pinnick is, what is?

sir Joe, if my memory serves me right, after afcon2018, Rohr Job was on the line, and the Nff wanted to part ways with him,

wasn't it Sunday Dare that, ask the Nff to maintain status quo, even going ahead to promise to take up the coach salary,

so here the question is who gave Together the renewalhuh

Working in Chelsea academy is no football history. We have former players that have played, coached and worked in European clubs. Why should a Chelsea academy worker (we are yet to even know the capacity) get the job over coaches that have worked behind the scenes in the Super Eagles.

On what capacity is he qualified to be the chief scout of the super eagles and share salary with the Super Eagles coach.

It is pure runs.

what is his football scouting history.

What makes him even a better scout than Manu Garba or even John Obuh?
