You don't have to believe it but you can go on and flatter yourself. I do this when I want for any post that calls it wrong.

It was just your turn today. Lol. Let it rest. 2-1 no be 3-2. And England "IS COMING HOME."

AndSunGorilla:
Is there a chance the journalists are not being objective? How come the U17 boys he coached were able to understand him, how come Tanzania team was.able to understand him? Siasia would have been good but Baba is now an expensive painting artwork. So if we have to go local and give them time and support, who else can we turn to at this point.

Marjoribanks:
The 3-2 self na against France. I am not happy at all! Oracle will come back stronger!

Keshi proved himself with Togo and Mali before he got the job.
I do not see why Amuneke should be given the job now.

TheSuperNerd:
Yes, they have a coaching crew. Same technical crew led by Kelvin Kaindu that was in charge when they went on a run of 5 losses in 12 league games and were sitting in the bottom half of the table.

Then came Amunike. Appointed as Direct Technical Consultant to this Team’s coaching crew in September, began his job from the first week of October and since then... Zanaco has only lost once in 12 league games. Their latest result was a goalless draw vs 2nd placed side, Green Buffaloes.

Under Amunike's technical influence behind the scenes, Zanaco are being metamorphosed into a team that can grind out results and play some good/decent football.

He doesn't have to stay on the touchlines because he reviews and previews every game with Kaindu and the crew and obviously stays in touch live with the crew on the touchlines via wireless comms during each league game. So Kaindu on the touchlines is enough.

And it's good to see you have checked out comments fro yourself from fans. They aren't lying. He is indeed the reason Zanaco is reborn.

our NPFL teams have very good coaches with definite style of play, we can give them a chance to prove themselves. We need to start encouraging our recently retired players to go into coaching, none of them seem interested in coaching

BascoVanVeli:
Same dude. I just added some other of his highlights to the video.

AndSunGorilla:
My thinking may be flawed but I feel a full local coach without any foreign exposure may be intimidated by the players. Because at least our retired players can point to their careers and a couple of them made some money too in their hey days, but a local coach who may never have earned N2m a month in his life may just feel intimidated. The players could even claim that the coach is unaware of modern tactics etc and never exposed to world class training methods.

jihday:
all these passion you people are seeing in Morocco is because their coach have a good tactical plan, when they lost to benin in 2019 didn’t they have passion or when they lost out earlier this year where was the passion? When a team is good and winning games you’ll think it’s being fueled by passion and commitment

You are the quintessential personification of the Nigerian problem.

I'm not sure if it's your education,or limited exposure to see things in blinded negative parochial view.

You are the ones that will support a view based on affiliation not substance, subjective over objective. You create a unit of measurement to appraise those whose views you favour in isolation.

Consider the bold to the educated illiterate and narrow minded, criticism is an attack not an opportunity to appraise accept and move forward.

The acceptance of FAILURE is the beginning of SUCCESS, the denial is the continuation of FAILURE.

You clearly lack understanding, exposure and take comfort in crass ignorance. Your diction betrays you .

Unfortunately perception is birthed from personal perspective not substance or factual evaluation. With regards to crass ignorance and prejudice you are incorrigible.

If I ask you to give me one instance of where I have denigrated my country and or presented misinformation and disinformation you will EVADE. But for the sake of this open discourse I challenge you now.

I doubt if you have travelled outside your limited socio political local village area. Maybe you you've been to Burkina Faso or Mali, that's even doubtful.


Your essentially tribalistic bigot with no sense of patriotism or what it actually means.

How many Nigerian origin national birthed outside Nigeria in the west do you actually know. Add to that footballers, probably none. But you have such a bad belle blanket opinion. Are you JEALOUS of them ❓thr rancourous bitter dislike is too much.

TheSuperNerd:
Don't forget Keshi failed with the Naija U20s in 2001 before he went on to Togo and Mali.

Amunike proved himself with Nigeria's U17s and with Tanzania. He is now in Zambia making a difference with Zanaco.

The key ingredient here is Amunike is tactically astute. He is also one whose playing philosophy draws similarities with Walid Regragui. They both favor swift vertical attacking transition plays. And both make their midfield anchorman part of the top keys to their game. For Walid, it is a Ball-playing CDM, for Amunike, he prefers a DLP or Ball-playing CDM.

And we can execute such with the pool of talents we have.

Also, the core of the Super Eagles already know Amunike well and have worked with him closely from the age grade teams. The likes of Iheanacho, Ndidi, Osimhen, Chukwueze, Ejuke, Uzoho, Awaziem etc. He knows the lads to the depths of their abilities.

This is a coach that molded the beast Osimhen is today. Osimhen never fails to credit Amunike as the man who laid the foundations of his development into the beast striker he is. The mentality Osimhen has in that role came via Amunike's mentoring and coaching. Every other thing fell into place as he met other top coaches at Wolfsburg, Felice Mazzu at Charleroi, Galtier at Lille, Gattuso at Naples and now Spalletti.

AndSunGorilla:
Yes you right, we can also say that Amuneke helped Tanzania to make the ANC since 1980!!! And immediately after his sack, they didn't make the last one. Keshi succeeded in Togo but failed in Mali too. And Keshi failed as our U20 coach at some point as well.

You all remember this post from 3years ago?


By the way, why is no one talking about this crazy leap?

Blueelf:
Thanks for this

Maybe he is expecting Wenger or Sir Alex Ferguson

Not even Joachim Loew or even Herve Renard would come here

Danielnino00:
The problem is that as a national team coach, when you start calling players because you feel they suit your style, people will talk, especially if the player doesn't play in a fancy league..
Like Eguavon calling up Nwakali and Ndah because they are players who can keep possession well and distribute good passes..We saw such qualities when they played the AFCON.. People said na egunje..
Meanwhile, Rohr was selecting some players over others because they suited his conservative style of play.. For instance, Shehu was preferred often times ahead of Aina..Collins retuned from an injury at the 2019 AFCON and immediately displaced Aina who was having a good tournament from the starting eleven... Surprisingly, we didn't hear accusations of egunje

You cannot compare U17 youth coaching to senior first team, please be realistic.

codemaniacs:
This is the behavior and attitude I'm talking about.. there's denigration all over this comment .

AndSunGorilla:
Sir the context of the response is to address the notion that no one could understand what he was saying. So I say again that if younger inexperienced U17 could understand what Amuneke was saying how much more senior and experienced professional players.

jihday:
seems Spain just went through this route too, they are set to announce De La Fuente their former U-19 U-21 and U-23 coach who has never coached a proper senior team but according to them he has worked with most of the players during their years in the various youth teams.
