SportsRe: Pinnick: Eagles Could Get A Foreign Coach. by UncleGus2014: 1:40pm On Oct 08, 2014
It's quite unfortunate that the new NFF President can utter such views publicly. Is it that he lacks wisdom or doesn't have the interest of Nigeria at heart? I will not go as far as accusing him of having selfish (monetary) interests because that will be joining partners with those claiming (without proof) that Keshi demands bribe from players to feature in the team. Every Nigerian fan, myself included, appears to be an expert but a president should believe in his troops and never criticize publicly.

A foreign coach can't do any better with the resources available. Russia, Iran and some other countries hired capable foreign coaches during the last world cup but did not surpass Nigeria. England has since learned that "foreign coaches" are not the solution. It's time Nigerians believe in their own.

Give Keshi time to do a good job. We need heroes we can call our own. It took Westerhof a much longer time to achieve what Keshi has so far achieved despite having much more resources at his disposal (in terms of quality of players). Besides, Westerhof didn't achieve much after he left the Eagles. We cannot compare the caliber of players we have now to what we had between 1990 and 2000. Lets give our local coaches the same level of respect, support, remuneration (paid monthly) and necessary working conditions as foreign coaches to do the job.

The clamour for Siasia, Oliseh, Finidi etc is not bad, they have the potential to become heroes too but they need to prove themselves by coaching elsewhere (other countries' national teams like Keshi did or club sides). Coaching is not done on the pages of newspapers or on the internet. A new coach will need time to rebuild and will likely make mistakes which may lead to his sack. Great coaches like Sir Alex needed time to make history. Others like Pep, Jose and Van Gaal either inherited great teams or spent huge sums making one.

Long live the Super Eagles!!!
Long live Nigeria!!!
