As in different circles of public life, selection of national coaches turns into a sincerely charged issue and the most meriting isn’t generally the one who gets the job. It along these lines winds up noticeably more secure and all around pleasant to make due to an impartial foreigner.

Nigerian football coaches have cleared a path for indigenous tacticians from the nation to carry out their trade abroad, the onus has fallen on men of the present age to follow suit.

Earlier this month, former Nigerian international and U17 coach Emmanuel Amunike was appointed the head coach of Sudanese top division club Al Khartoum Watani. The report of his appointment was greeted with positive reviews and great expectations as the pool of Nigerians coaching foreign clubs continues to increase.

It is belief by many that this can only help the development of Nigerian coaches and also Nigerian football as well.

In the past, few Nigerian coaches headed only clubs and National teams in Africa but in recent times Nigerians are starting to get coaching jobs in leagues in Europe, and although they can be counted with the tip of the fingers, it’s only a matter of time before the number increases.

However, with ex-internationals delving into coaching and acquiring FIFA coaching badges, the number of Nigerian coaches heading abroad continue to grow.

Today [url]Cheapgoals.com[/url] highlight Nigerian coaches testing their mettle at the top level.

Harrison Okagbue – Uganda 1999-2001

One of the few Nigerians to have coached a foreign team in the late 90s. Harrison became the coach of the Cranes of Uganda in 1999 and his time there spanned 3 years till 2001.

The ex-Eagles defender played in the Nigerian league in the 70’s with the now-defunct Sharks and Rangers before retiring in 1980. He moved to Uganda in 1999 and was appointed the coach of the Ugandan National team, however after a 3-0 loss to Togo at home in an African Nations Cup Qualifier he was sacked. Since then he hasn’t coached another National team and has retired from active sporting activities.

■ Stephen Keshi – Togo (2004-2008, 2011) & Mali(2008-2010)

The big boss left a lot of records and achievements that current and aspiring Nigerian coaches would hope to match in their career, although the late ex-Super Eagles captain and coach didn’t manage any club, he did wonders with Emmanuel Adebayor led Togo team and later on the Mali national team.

He helped The Sparrow Hawks qualify for their first and only World Cup appearance till date in 2006, however, he was sacked before the World Cup proper due to a dismal outing at the 2006 AFCON where they crashed out in the group stage and he was replaced by German coach Otto Pfister.

He returned to coach them in 2007 after their dismal World Cup outing and led the team for another one year before being appointed as Mali’s chief coach to the 2010 AFCON where they crashed out of the group stage as well.

However, he became one of only two people, along with Egypt ‘s Mahmoud El-Gohary, to have won the Africa Cup of Nations as both a player and a coach after leading Nigeria to her third title in 2013. He also led the team to the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil.

On the 16 November 2013, Keshi’s Nigeria secured qualification to the 2014 World Cup by beating Ethiopia 4–1 on aggregate in a playoff, setting a record in African football by being the first African coach to successfully qualify two African nations (Nigeria and Togo) to the World Cup Finals.

He also helped Nigeria become the first country to achieve an African Cup of Nations trophy and World Cup qualification, both in 2013.
Rest in peace. Keshi

Nigeria n injustice are like 5&6. Coaches like Kesh n Shaibu deserve posthumous award. They qualified Nigeria for world cup n in the case of Shaibu twice but neither of them ever allowed to take charge of the team at the world biggest football fiesta. I guess Nigeria won the 3 tournaments through the oyibo coachs. I'm sorry for being one those wailers who criticised you guys when you were serving ur ungrateful nation Nigeria. Pls God forgive me.
