On what ground is Finidi next in line. Finidi is yet to even coach a Nigerian age grade team or work as an assistant in the Super Eagles set-up. But, Bam, next in line.

zuchyblink:
Our rotten system is making it hard for us to secure good foreign born players. Moroccan and Algerian national team don't find it too difficult to secure the services of their foreign born players

chrisooblog:
This is the question komekn always avoids answering. If it was the Portuguese mafia that chased him away from Wolves how come Dominic hasn't gotten any reasonable offer from any top club? Abi the mafia blocked other top clubs from using him?

semid4lyfe:
Why hasn't the English FA sacked Gareth Southgate?

Or

better still, why hasn't he resigned?

He's failed at three tournaments - two World Cups and an European Championship

That's enough for him to be relieved of the job!

Danielnino00:
If they sack Southgate,getting a replacement for him would be a dicey situation for them...
Out of sentiments,they may want to appoint another English manager where as they know too well that there's barely any competent one around .Maybe they can lure Graham Potter..Of maybe Scott Parker.... But they are all average..

daveP:
Europe no suppose get 3 extra slots. Mtchew.

codemaniacs:
"Good" foreign born players don't want to play for the SE.. it has nothing to do with rotten system..

He shldnt be sacked ,he has been doing a Fantastic job,I believe he shld guide d team to euro 2024 except if he willingly leaves d post

Danielnino00:
All these things you wrote about Iorfa na conspiracy theory.. Nothing is factual..
As at the time we approached Iorfa, we badly needed his service seeing as we were on a rebuilding mission..It was around the time we got Iwobi who was barely a regular in Arsenal first team at that time... Unfortunately for Iorfa,when he was ready to rep us, there wasn't much need for his service.. Let me remind you of a certain Nedum Onuoha..Their case are similar...

Even if your argument about Jorge Mendes systemically freezing Iorfa out of the team, then how come no better club came to sign him? Man has literally spent all his career in the lower division of English football...

TheSuperNerd:
Ask them to list the achievements that makes Finidi a better choice than Amunike.

Ask them to also explain Finidi's playing philosophy and Amunike's and how his philosophy (if they know it) can help transform the Super Eagles plays.

This is where they will struggle for words.

maybe they are looking at his record. Tbh I think he is the coach with the best record since 1966. One wc semi final, one wc quarter finals and a euro final. I'm not sure there is any other manager with such records. his style may not be pleasing to the eyes but note that he has achieved more than the coach that handled the golden generation.

Peter Rufai is an overrated Legend
I can hardly see the hype he gets as a GK.

komekn:
Can l ask before you came to this conclusion, how many players of Nigerian origin playing in Europe top League do you personally know. ❓

How much about the ingrained institutional corruption in the NFF do you know about and or have decided to pretend does not exist. ❓❓

Payment for selection and continuous selection has always been a part of the Nigerian football ⚽ structure for decades.❓❓❓

codemaniacs:
Nathan Tella declared his interest to play for Nigeria... nobody went to meet him, or snap pictures with him..

If the "good" foreign born players want to play for Nigeria all they have to do is say they want to play for Nigeria and the NFF should be quick to cap tie them....


the main problem is favoritism and favoring players they know which makes sure the SE formation does not change and why the SE consistently has a small number of midfielders invited...


payment for selection is not a problem for foreign born players.. foreign born players are richer than their Nigerian counterparts and if there's anything like payment for selection then that means the entire SE should have at least 20 foreign born players..

the other problem is the Nigerian coaches might call up and favor players that are in their Agency or affiliated with their agency..

Those calling for Amuneke are doing so because of Nwakali.

That's the easiest way he can make the national team.

fabyom:
What has Amuneke won with his philosophy? We have been winning under 17 since 1985, so what's the big deal in that? What has he won at Club and National team level? The Morrocan coach builds his team on defensive discipline and has won medals at club level. What has Amuneke done? Don't tell me a bullcrap philosophy without results here? He qualified Tanzania to the Nations Cup, yes. Did Tanzania even went past the group stage? Let Amuneke show us what he has won in his career? He flopped with one of the best under 20 team, losing to Sudan in Lagos! What are you talking about?

daveP:
I recall an old secondary school mate called him "glorified Agbim" and i watched clips mehn and i was like he no fit make top 5 best SE goalies by his own individual performance then. Some goals were stupidly conceded. He had some good days. But the hype....
