Humility017:
remove Thomas Dennerby because he coached the female term...

Nd for berti Vogts I don't rate him....

but for the Swedish...common sense should teach that he was coach for just few months don't think it was even up to 5 months so that time is always too short for any coach with worthwhile program and plans to implement them....

he just took a team he barely knew and understood to.the world cup

Humility017:
please why do you reason so low on this matter.....

must you think so low and to you...lagerbach is not an astute coach abi?
for yr information lagerbach should be ahead of rohr....

jihday:
I agree, any Nigerian that's good enough irrespective of their place of birth should play for our under age teams, Why try to block foreign born players? Are they afraid the home grown guys aren't good enough? I say let whoever is good enough play for us, it's the national team not a poverty alleviation program

bilulu:
You are funny..... he wasn’t sure of the man’s identity or can you point it out for me

iSlayer:
What did Vogts or Dennerby do wrong, or even Lagerback?

You have to talk for where you are, in Ikeja here, agreement and commission is 100k (a room self) that's what i paid last year and that is the fixed amount except you want a room, that's where the agreement and commission is 70k
For Ikorodu, agreement and commission is between 30k-50k depending on the areas
Just yesterday at Ogba here, an agent was telling a colleague about a 220k mini flat with 100k agreement and commission, total of 320k

Do your findings very well.

Alhassan Yusuf has been rewarded with the Player of the Year in Goteborg after a remarkable breakthrough season as more awards beckon.

The award was by Goteburg Post.

26 games, two goals and two assists. There you have hard facts about the Nigerian big talent’s all-Swedish breakthrough season.

From his position as a central midfielder, Alhassan Yusuf during the all-Swedish season 2019 has sprung and squeezed opponents like Helsingborg, AIK, Hammarby and Malmö FF.

In the final against Östersunds FK at Gamla Ullevi, the 19-year-old midfielder was crowned the season with two goals and an assist.

– The best match of the year for me. It’s been a very good season for me, the first one where I’ve started matches. My breakthrough, says Alhassan Yusuf.

In competition with players from five elite clubs – IFK Gothenburg, BK Häcken, Örgryte IS, Gais and Göteborg FC – the running midfielder takes home the prize as this year’s football player in Gothenburg.

“I’m really happy about this. There are many good players and big clubs in Gothenburg, so that’s something I’m really proud of,” he said.

The prize is presented at Ullevi, where everything took off in April. The breakthrough came against Helsingborg and AIK.

“The match against Helsingborg was my first from the start, Giorgi (Kharaishvili) had been given a red card and was off, we had many injuries and I was the only one who could play in that position. The match was fantastic, we scored goals and I made a good match.”

Against AIK he took another step – and played centrally.

“The key was how I had performed in the previous matches. It took a lot of effort. I felt I could play. AIK was a big match and I was a little nervous. This came off after ten, fifteen minutes, then I entered the game.”



He has shown during the season that he has mastered all positions in the midfield.

“I’m comfortable playing anywhere. I’m best as a box-to-box midfielder, helping in the defence but also in the attack,” he explained.

Last summer he was close to a transfer to Wolverhampton in the Premier League. In the end, it was too short a time to obtain a visa. The deal ran out in the sand – this time.

After a strong spring season for Yusuf, a slight decline came in the fall.

“I got some injuries, it affected me. I think I’m back on my level. It is very difficult to play at the same high level all the time. Bouncing back from a lower level is even better,” he said.

He personally takes the success with calm.

“I was prepared for what was waiting. Among the audience, many wondered who I was, but personally I was ready for what was waiting. I’m not surprised. I knew from the start what I could and what my ability is.”

In a spontaneous “thank you” speech, Alhassan Yusuf highlights his club in Nigeria FC Hearts, the Tiki Taka Academy which took him to Sweden, football coach Tommy Johansson and IFK leader Olle Sultan.

“Without Tiki Taka it would not have been possible. And Tommy… I do not have words to describe how he has helped me, including with the adaptation to Swedish society. Olle has helped me on and off the pitch and invited me home to his family,” he revealed.

He has been pondering some of what is next in his career.

“For me, it’s just about taking steps that help me in my career. I have plenty of time. I am young and do not need to rush or stress. I can take it easy,” he says.

The contract with IFK Göteborg runs until 2022 – but will he play with the club next season?

“Hopefully. I’m really happy with the club, my teammates and everything around,” he answered.

I do not also believe in the true Nigerian talk but I will maintain my stance that the U17 should be reserved for Grassroot development. It should be prioritised because over time it has unearth gems that went on to make the country proud.

Tammy Abraham, Tomori, Solanke and a host of others broke into quality European clubs without the help of the Nigerian youth team.

However, there is a big chance, Nacho, Ndidi Success, Orji Okonkwo, Osimhen and a host of others will be nowhere if not the youth team.

So I wonder the crave for the foreign bred Nigerians to play in the u17 to deny home based players that need it more than them.

If we are to use home bred/based players, the screening model must be improved upon to become more comprehensive to harness a high breed of special players to complement the foreign bred Nigerians.

iSlayer:
Thumbs up. Unfortunately, one will never ever see Chief Icons put it straightforward and blunt like this. He'll always play diplomatic with the truth. And talk about having hope blah blah blah. And he thinks this country will move forward.

All you said is on point, however as regards that first paragraph, when you have a Foreign coach he will hardly permit all that. Any interference will be met with stiff resistance and he will not allow you dribble him as regards his salary. And if things get to a head he will gently leave the job. Honestly, they're just better organized.

Local Coaches will only succeed when they become principled and disciplined enough to QUIT when the NFF or any higher body interferes.

Mujtahida:
I'm happy that they crashed out just so we can see that anytime merit is sacrificed for worthless considerations, we will suffer defeat for it.

tbaba1234:
NFF need to pay coaches on time and be strict about their interactions with agents. We missed the chance to expose genuine talents because the under 17 team was turned into a money making venture.

arinola2504:
I'm not sure Op is actually talking about Lagos rent because agreement and commission is 50% above of the rent not 10/15%, don't let anybody deceive you, if your house rent is 150k, your agreement and commission will be between 70k-100k depending on the location and you forget to add maintenance fee which is 10% of your actual rent.

It’s sure not a fire service officer but he looks like a road safety guy. Look at the uniform very well.... only God knows what a road safety guy will be doing there. But you still refused to tell us who the guy was or maybe the country it happened

Greatest Coach Ever liveth!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you follow his enugu rangers team when they won the league?

imama is a good coach, just too many scrappy players in the NPFL

Eartquake1:
Leicester don't need a winger they have Demarai Gray and Albrighton on the bench

If they are looking for a substitute striker Dennis is the wrong choice

TheSuperNerd:
Yes... News is very legit and I hear a price tag of between €20-25 million. Anyway, it is till negotiations stage so Time will tell if it pulls through.

I believe it is linked to the fact that they need an upgrade on the wings. Ayoze Perez is no actual winger even though he has done well there so far this season... Ayoze is a support striker and can play CF too.

Anybody sad about Ebere Eze should go and open a thread and cry about him
