Kindly develop yourself and build a track record. Respect your maiden job of coaching the female team, then coach a male team after that your CV will determine if you are good enough to coach SE. Don’t spoil your early coaching career but learn from Oliseh and co by building your capacity before dreaming to coach your country!
Well said – just what I was going to reply here but no need now as you have said it all.
@Utaka, build up your resume first then we’ll talk, no need to try running before you can even walk my good friend.
This is not true. Utaka is from Makoko street in Mile 2. You are Woke. Lolz
