Sigh... Nigerian Football has no future under NFF!

They shouldn't even bother qualifying for world Cup... it would be the usual embarrassment.


I doubt there's a more useless, inept and corrupt football association anywhere on Earth!

keshi managed them well sha
Right, but that's over 10yrs. Presently, I doubt if there is any local coach that will be accorded that much respect.
&Keshi "Big Boss" as Captain always had strong leadership qualities from his playing days.

If the incoming coach does not do away with certain players and make critical decisions in that team,he will flop also.my two cents👌

Osimhen is useless, let him go and seat down

I'm not happy with your performance sir, so Nigeria won't be going for 2026 world cup, we didn't qualify for the 2022 world cup tournament as well.

it won't be fair to lay all the blame on him though, some of our players have become very lackluster and should be discarded, they've outlived their usefulness, the mediocre ones among them, we need players that are ready to play and win matches for Nigeria, Nigeria is blessed with a lot of talented footballers but corruption has messed everything up
we played thrash.. finidi had no pattern and this old mentality of jealousy... omo its too much...

oliseh, same thing now finidi.. wetin.

abeg..

our last coach should not have been sacked.

Stop all these crap. Who invites the players? If you realise one player is misbehaving, why dont you invite players that wouldn't misbehave. Only people WITHOUT SENSE keep blaming others for their failure. EVERYONE ELSE MUST BE WRONG SOMEWHERE EXCEPT THEM.

Must he invite OSIMHEN? How many of the Benin players play in Europe. Always think b4 you talk pls. Honestly, the o ly thing thats COMMON to all OBIDIENTS is lack of common sense.

He is a useless coach. The same players who reached the AFCON final are now lacklustre under his management.

The real culprits are the NFF, which recruited a Nigeria-based coach. Just look at the current state of Nigeria today; why would any sane man employ a Nigerian to manage a program of this magnitude? For every successful Keshi/Shuaibu Amodu, there is a Finidi, Christain Chukwu and Edguavon.

Local Nigerians coaches are totally hopeless.

as africans, we frown on disrespect and insult against elders but here you are saying osimhen did well by insulting him..

this same osimhen has insulted victor ikpeba too another senior and african legend, but i guess its normal behaviour to you too

so how many players came out to rant against mourinho when he was always singling them out for criticism.
anyway i guess its you genZ people sha, morals have been lost in this una generation.
Like I said he earns his salaries frm his club.
The stupid coach deserves it and even more!
If he gets even more injured, will Nigeria take care of his bills?

Why are we not talking about the coach finidi.

As far as I can recollect, finidi is the first coach to go the route he took in disparaging a player in the national squad.


Win, u cannot win any match. Nonsense
Re: Why I Resigned As Super Eagles Head Coach – Finidi George Opens Up by seunmsg(m): 8:06pm On Jun 16, 2024
He good player no doubt but a bad coach. He should never have been appointed in the first place.

cheesy

Thought provoking.

One man...given just two football matches to prove himself and he's now out of a job. Another man...and we are being told to give him two whole years as president before anyone should even attempt an assessment of his (in)competence. undecided

Someone should make it make sense.
Re: Why I Resigned As Super Eagles Head Coach – Finidi George Opens Up by kowriesng(m): 8:44pm On Jun 16, 2024
Finidi a very great player. Nigeria legend but not the best soccer manager. Take away the two poor match result. Team management is F9 which is critical for a National Team this will bring motivation, understanding of the need to play for the shirt.

Certain character like calling out players publicly is a no-no

Nigeria team should be rebuild newly by talented local players and not this overfed mediocre that draw Nigeria in the world football back



We as a Nigerians never had it this bad in the world football, this bunch of dumb players cannot even score 1 goal with Croatia not to talk of Spain or Brazil, Dem go use scores spell our country name

Happy Resignation. smiley

It's becoming obvious that only an Oyibo coach can better manage these our egocentric, dollar-earning, foreign-based S/Eagles "big boys".
Doubt if they'll accord any local coach much respect.

An Oyibo coach will also better manage the ethnic diversity of our players.
But they should get a good one. But after what Westerhof did to us in USA 94, I lost interest in foreign coaches. They are betrayer. They can't watch us beat countries in Europe they have soft spot for. They will just put a game plan to make us lose when playing with big European teams. This I have noticed in many world Cup games. But that of USA 94 was the most painful. We should have won the cup that year. Our players sold their birth right for a morsel of meal.
