Amunike was part of 2 different generation of U17 teams that brought Glory to the country and also went on to produce players for the Senior national team, forming the core of the current team.

Spain just appointed a coach who worked with most Spanish lads at U19, U21 levels and he is also schooled in his own philosophy of the game. But more than anything, they obviously gave the job to a man who knows the lads.

We have similar scenario in Amunike, yet some Beer Parlour owner analyst (make I borrow Blueelf's words) is telling me Amunike lost to Sudan as if one loss in 50 games dampens the man's technical nous from the sidelines.

Played close to 50games, winning over 40 and losing just once thanks to your Bloody NFF and that is what erases his quality.

Just look at the rubbish take. No substance at all. Mtchewww.
Imagine Nigeria at this stage still having foreign mediocre as coach.

I have watched Walid's Wydad and now Walid's Morocco.

I also watched Amunike's Nigerian U17s and U20s... Amunike's Tanzania and now I am doing my best to keep up with Amunike's Zanaco.

One thing stands out as the similar central piece of both men's playing philosophies and that is how they want their teams transiting as one with the ball in swiftly vertical attacking transitions and when in defence, they all keep a compact shape with narrow gaps maintained between the team's Deepest lying midfielder and the Central defensive line to choke out or deny free invasion of that space by the opposition's attacking midfielders or 8s.

Both are also big on using their fullbacks for width in Swift vertical transitions and both encourage crossing from these fullbacks targeted at their Physically imposing Number 9.

Walid and Amunike are similar in some aspects of their tactics and playing Philosophies and most importantly we already have lads in the SE who has worked with Amunike and understood and successfully implemented this philosophy. They form the core of this team. So how would it be difficult for them to catch?

This is something they can understand.

All Amunike will do is make the Super Eagles a team of transition monsters. Lads who know how to execute transition plays swiftly and in sync with one another.

Is that not what you want to see in the team or you want more static plays? Smh. Some of you are not ready for change.

That first sentence is insulting take it out!
TheSuperNerd:
Please don't come to my mention asking me silly questions or making your usual poorly informed takes.

Just explain Finidi's Playing Philosophy and show how it would uplift the Super Eagles.

And also kindly tell us what he has achieved.

Amunike's achievements are well known from the Nigerian U17s to Tanzania to FIFA technical study jobs and now to Zanaco. Show us Finidi's.

You insulted me by throwing irrelevant questions at me when you can rather easily explain Finidi's achievements and playing philosophy.

Do it and stop your deflective babblings.

No dey waste my time if you cannot do a simple thing.

All you do is shout a point up without giving it any iota of substance.

It is annoying. So very annoying. In 2022, we still dey struggle with getting coaching appointments right.

Even Westerhof was out of a coaching job for 4 years before he got the Nigeria job but the difference between him and most is that he actually worked, did his homework and built us a team to be proud of. A golden generation it was indeed.

I am not surprised you undermined The Great Rufai cos you do not know what success and progress entail.

Oga save your energy. Most of the people managing Nigerian football know that Amunike is good. All they are after is their pocket. My ranking of Nigerian coaches dead and alive is in this order: Keshi > Amodu > Siasia > Amunike.

The thing is even if they hire any Nigerian, they will look for excuse when the tournament proper comes to sack the coach and engage a foreign coach so they can share the usual. That was the excuse with Amodu severally. Keshi would have met same situation if not that he won AFCON. They tried to frustrate him to resign before the tournament.
Remember how they begged the coach that failed in 2010 world cup to continue so they can continue.

Sir,it is not hype if you indeed watched Rufai in the 80s.Sincerely Rufai in the 90s has lost some of his brilliance but not withstanding he did well and that legendary status was well deserved.

Amuneke got his chance with Equavoen, but they both failed woefully.

Finidi with Paserio gave us two wins and a goal-scoring record!
After Paserio, Finito will take over and he will be there for a long time!

Finidi possesses the charisma, humility, composure, and character to lead a team like the Super Eagles. Also, he has won it all!

Proposed New slots according to FIFA,

Asia - 8 countries

Africa - 9 countries

North America- 6 countries

South America - 6 countries

Oceania- 1 Country

Europe - 16 countries

Making it a total of 46 counties.

2 slots remaining

1 for Africa because Morocco have reached the semi-finals.

1 for play-offs.

Therefore ,
Asia 8+Africa( 9+1) + North America 6 + South America 6+ Ocenia 1 + Europe 16+ playoffs 1 will make it 48 countries.



Aw true is dis?
that Morocco win get Africa extra slot is probably a lie, I haven’t seen any verified source

Rufai heroic gave us the 1994 AFCON cup. His penalty saves got us to the 1994 AFCON finals. It was Rufai that stood against the fleet-footed Kalusha-led Zambia attack and the AFCON trophy. Props to Amunike for those two wonderful goals. Rufai is a legend and does not deserve to be disrespected

Interesting opinion from the man who was born offside, one of the finest Strikers of his generation, Filippo Inzaghi
________________________________________________________

Osimhen is the best right now beyond Ballon d'Or winner Benzema and Giroud - Inzaghi

https://assets.goal.com/v3/assets/bltcc7a7ffd2fbf71f5/blt1bdda1919f383e7b/6396d7e8dcd5b649520eaa37/Victor_Osimhen_Oliver_Giroud_and_Karim_Benzema.jpeg
Filippo Inzaghi believes Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is the best, beyond Karim Benzema and Olivier Giroud following his great displays.


WHAT HAPPENED? The 23-year-old Nigeria international is having a great season with the Partenopei, who are currently topping the Serie A table. His superb display has caught the attention of the 49-year-old, Inzaghi, who played for Juventus and AC Milan in the same league and is currently the head coach of Serie B club Reggina.

Inzaghi has opined Osimhen's qualities as second to none and that he is better than Ballon d'Or winner Benzema, who turns out for Real Madrid.


WHAT HE SAID? “If we think of Napoli, Osimhen is a true centre-forward,” Inzaghi said as quoted by TuttoNapoli.

"He attacks deep, and keeps the ball, Osimhen is probably the best right now, beyond Benzema, who, however, is less of an area centre forward, and perhaps than Giroud."


THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Super Eagle has currently scored nine Serie A goals from 11 matches and chipped in with two assists. His first goal of the campaign came in the 5-2 victory against Hellas Verona on August 15.

Last season, Osimhen managed 27 top-flight appearances, scored 14 goals and provided two assists. On Sunday, he was on target as Napoli defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 in a friendly fixture at Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort.

WHAT NEXT FOR OSIMHEN? The former Lille forward will hope to add to his tally of goals in Serie A when Napoli resume their hunt for the title with a clash against Inter Milan at the San Siro on January 4.

Napoli are currently leading the 20-team log with 41 points from 15 matches and remain the only unbeaten side in the top-tier.


Source: Goal.
why is Inzaghi hyping him unnecessarily? Pippo must have been bribed
