And please who is the new Goalkeepers trainer? I think Vincent Enyeama fits the bill very well and he is capable bringing some positive aura to the Super Eagles team’s camp.
Fidelis and ogunmodede is a good combination of excellence. If allowed to function together they might prove positive for Nigeria. I have decided to ignore all the drama and make do with what they have forced on our neck.
@Chima, u are right, the problem is the clueless sport minister and the NFF President.This duo wand some kick back out of the appointment.
Now that the centre can’t hold, this purely Austine Eguaveon decision
I still really do not get this whole setup. we assembled a bunch of under achievers and expect something good. Personally for me, i think the world cup campaign is over before we started with the appointment of finidi. but what worries me more, is that we cant humble ourselves and look for a coach that might not be too expensive but definitely better than this lot we assembled. i mean there are coaches in france, Netherland, Portugal, Belgium, that are not big but better than this clowns. My greatest pain is that i will watch the Super Eagles as a patriot but in all honesty, the team is not exciting to watch as any team can beat us now. Imagine, the appointment of an assistant national coach that could not beat a Comoros team at home in the caf league. i am really wondering what informed that decision
