Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation, Bitrus Bewarang, says two local coaches have been shortlisted for the vacant Super Falcons coaching job.

In a chat with our correspondent, Bewarang also revealed that seven other coaches have also been listed for the roles of goalkeeper trainer and assistant coach.

“Other teams’ appointment will be announced soon. The NFF has commissioned a company to do some of the work, we are just trying to step in because some of the teams have competitions that are very close; that is why we are doing what we are doing.

“We made recommendations and until I have approval before I can present to the public,” he added.

What kind of disorganized form of organization is this? The Flamingos will be playing this weekend away to Guinea without a head coach and this is what Bewarang can say? Where did we get this wrong? Who did this to us? Chai!!!

Asisat Oshoala is on Fire!!!!

NFF should please name a coach for the Superfalcons and give them quality grade a game's to play to Boost her chance of winning Global Awards

This has now become a prayer point. Even the U17 female team do not have a head coach a week from their game with Guinea. What a country!!!!

Schemerkhiz:
I will say they're 40% ready to face Guinea... They should face Premier League teams likes Nasarawa Amazon,, Confluence Queens,, Adamawa Queens first to know how ready the team is...Naija Ratels are from the Pro-League side which is not enough to rate how ready the team is.


If they can defeat or hold the likes of Almighty River's Angel, Bayelsa Queens to a draw then i can say they're good enough to qualify for the World Cup..

True talk. But were the U17 Flamingo players selected from the Premier league teams or Pro-league sides? Do you have that info?

jimmyiovine:
Omo. We will find out next weekend. If any of our junior females don’t qualify for world cup, all blame goes to NFF. Poor organisation in naming coaches and organising camp. Till now we don’t know u20 coaches and the current U17 head coach is being referred to as interim

May be NFF want to experiment with the coach Bankole Olowookere-in the Guinea game before appointing him or sacking him. But really someone has to be in charge and be held responsible for the teams outcome.

In previous friendlies, they beat two local sides 3-2 and 6-1. Are they now ready to face Guinea?

Any updates on new coaches of U17 and U20 female teams? Time is running out and the U17 qualifiers holds on 28 Feb in Guinea. Is Bankole Olowo staying as U17 coach?

PDPGuy:
A biennial Confederations Cup for women won't be a bad idea. FIFA could invite 16 nations to participate in the tournament, which would be popular among fans.

It will make serious sense. Women competitions are rarely organized.

Danielnino00:
Bleacher report have recommended Dortmund to sign Chukwueze..



Thoughts ?

We hear these stories about Sam Chuks everyday. Which day will it become reality?

Danielnino00:
Good ??

We are better off without him please...

I thought Finidi George applied for that u17 job. I hope NFF are not punishing him because he said he would coach Nigeria for free. Aigbogun has played his role for Nigeria and we need a change.

There's this news circulating social media that Paul Aigbogun has been made u17 golden eaglets coach.

This better not be true!!!

PDPGuy:
I would fancy either Ann Chiejine or Mmadu to take the Super Falcons job.

..

Mmadu will be a better option to be assisted by Ann

EXCLUSIVE: Olowookere Bankole Named U-17 Female Coach

03/02/2020, by Best Choice Sports, in CAF, FIFA, Football, News
By Amaechi Agbo

Bestchoicesports.com.ng can report authoritatively that Olowookere Bankole has been appointed the coach of Nigeria national U-17 women team, the Flamingos.

Although his appointment has not been made public, this paper gathered that the Ekiti State born tactician has resumed duties with the team along with his backroom staff.



Coach Bankole will be assisted by Queen Akpan, who is based in Abuja and a goalkeeper trainer, Atuga Ndanusa who was formerly with Niger Tornadoes of Minna.

Coach Bankole was former coach of Lagos based female club, Dream Stars Ladies who played in the Nigeria Women Premier League last season.

It was gathered that Olowookere Bankole was discovered by Barr Seyi Akinwunmi, NFF 1st Vice President.

Bankole was appointed coach of Lagos football team at the 2012 National Sports Festival, NSF, tagged “Eko 2012” .

As early as August 2019, Bankole was regarded as one of the favorites to manage the U-17 Flamingos.

Coach Queen Akpan on her part is with Abuja Women All Stars.

The coach Sunday drafted list of 41 players invited to resume camp in Abuja today ahead of the team’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup against Guinea later this month.

I'm happy to see a new face for the first time handling our Flamingoes. Time is not our friend. Let work start in earnest. We also want to see fresh faces in that team.

I just read online that
1. Gernot Rohr and NFF have decided to work together. Each have compromised their conditions.

2. Jordan Touringha has pledged his international allegiance to Nigeria.

Please somebody help me confirm.

Which kain talk be dat one
Are they trying to gag him or what?

Just wait and see

tbaba1234:
His main reason was to spend more time with the family. I don't think Moses enjoyed travelling to Tanzania, Seychelles etc..

There is more to his sudden retirement. At a point he mentioned that some of his teammates in the national team were fetish.

charlesemeka85:
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr granted an interview lasting approximately one hour to French radio station RIG, 90.7 FM, Bordeaux on Wednesday and spoke about a number of topics, including his contract situation with the Nigeria Football Federation and the retirement of three of his biggest stars Victor Moses, John Obi Mikel and Odion Ighalo.

The former Bayern Munich defender gave two reasons why Inter Milan wing-back Moses called time on his international career and believes he has found Ighalo's heir and players with the same attributes as Mikel.

In quotes carried by Bordeaux dedicated website Girondins33, Rohr said : "We no longer have a big star, because John Obi Mikel retired, that Victor Moses also retired for family and age reasons in particular ... and even our top scorer, Odion Ighalo , declared his retirement after the AFCON 2019.

"We managed to find a scorer with Victor Osimhen , and other playmakers: we have Samuel Chukweze who plays at Villarreal , the little Samuel Kalu from Bordeaux who plays very very well with us - one of the best every time he plays with Nigeria - so we have a very, very young, promising team, and I might like to continue."

On his contract imbroglio with the Nigerian Federation, Rohr revealed that talks have been scheduled to begin next month ahead of the resumption of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Franco-German said : "We will see the leaders soon. It is planned for the month of February and possibly for before the matches of the month of March for the qualification in African Cup of Nations.

"Perhaps we could agree to continue the adventure with Nigeria".

Bordeaux's all-time record appearance holder in the French top-flight, Rohr has been coaching the Super Eagles since 2016 and qualified the national team for the 2018 World Cup and last summer's AFCON.

NFF go vex with Rohr for this interview. They have warned him not to discuss his contract matter with the press. They will definitely introduce this condition into the contract clause

I think Rohr is trying to warn the NFF not to think that the easy draw means uhuru for the Super Eagles. His statement is not borne out of fear but for early preparations. Also this has always been his practice since he was made Nigeria's coach. He uses his statements to take the pressure off his team.

Will the CAF World Cup 2022 draws be live on DSTV and SS? TIME PLEASE...

A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE
GOD BLESS YOU ROBERTO FIRMINO

I'm so happy for this lady. She is a bright and shining star

Our U17 and U20 women teams will begin qualifiers by late February / March, yet no news on appointment or shortlisting of coaches

The Nigerian factor processing

Happy new year guys. I have missed this trend.

Subzero047:
It is only in Nigeria that someone would be given a worse contract and more limitations after performing well

That is a kind of intimidation if you ask me

Bros we call such action a black belle action

charlesemeka85:
It's very obvious and they re forces behind that. This is one of the reasons why it will be difficult for any African team to win the world cup. Instability in all section in Africa have done a lot of bad to the continent.

Why force out a coach who resurrected the national team from ashes back to a force to reckon with once again in African football?

Why must the nff technical committee demand to have the final say in Rohr's player invitation when his players list right from the first day he took the job have been on point?

Why will the new contract mandate Rohr to live in Nigeria when 99.9% of his players both capped and uncapped ply their trade in Europe?

Alot is happening behind the scene which is beyond Pinnick's powers

My brother, I tire for all these new stringent clauses NFF put for Rohr. If we frustrate this man out of this job, several countries will quickly sign him. I heard NFF is considering Avrant Grant in case Rohr leaves. What makes them feel Grant will take nonsense from them such as unpaid salaries etc. I feel Rohr understands African football better and their financial challenges. He decided to work with Nigeria because of the stars we parade. NFF should better pipe low on their expectations from Rohr.

And he has not played any competitive game for Super eagles. Rohr please cap this guy ooo

charlesemeka85:


According to Belgian football journalist Peter Vandenbempt, Heracles Almelo goal machine Cyriel Dessers wants to represent the Nigeria National Team rather than his country of birth, Belgium.

It is thought that Belgium manager Roberto Martinez is happy with his attacking options with the likes of Romelu Lukaku (Inter), Michy Batshuayi (Chelsea), Divock Origi (Liverpool) and Christian Benteke (Crystal Palace) competing for spots.

Regarding the chances of Dessers wearing a Nigeria shirt, Vandenbempt noted that there is also intense competition for places in the Super Eagles squad.

In quotes carried by Voetbalnieuws making reference to Extra Time, Vandenbempt said : ''He is very happy in the Netherlands and said that he might continue to live there.

''It is also interesting that he is a Belgian Nigerian. He could therefore play for the national team of Nigeria. That is his distant dream, but the competition is reasonable big''.

Dessers has become one of the hottest properties in the Netherlands, scoring 61 goals and producing 25 assists in the last three years for his clubs.

Vandenbempt added : ''He is still only 24 and a real striker. I called a Dutch colleague and he says that Dessers is really phenomenal. He has not only developed himself as a goal scorer, but also as a football player''.

Leuven-born Dessers trained with Belgium's U21 national team in March 2015 but failed to make his international debut in an U21 Euro qualifier against Moldova.

Rohr please give this guy a chance.

Pinnick is at it again. He has started talking about Eberechi Eze. Why can't he just keep quiet for once. I tire for the man oo.

Group F is really tough ooo. Heavy weight group

The draws will happen in January with the current FIFA rankings and it's impossible to be in those pot as Angola and Kenya may fall in the same pot
