You see, when I say our own ex-internationals are just a lazy entitled bunch, they will say I am insulting them.
They sit down in their living rooms doing nothing, but waiting for jobs to crawl to the them in their cubicles and lying to the public that they cant get jobs only because they are black. If they cant get a job in Europe becuase they are blacks, are they unable to secure jobs in Africa because they are black too…? Or because they are simply unqualified and incompetent…?
Benni is a contemporary of many of them. He completed all coaching badges to the highest of them all (the UEFA Pro), went back to his country to start his career. He didnt go begging for menial jobs from the South African FA.
He first went to make a name for himself with a small club like Capetown FC winning a trophy with them. Moved to another small club like AmaZulu FC and led them to their 1st ever CAF CL appearance and even reached the group stages that Nigerian clubs need $40,000 per player promise and shiploads of prayers to reach. Now he has been appointed by Man Utd…yes the great MANCHESTER UNITED OF ENGLAND.
Ndi we cannot get jobs because we are blacks, please show your faces again lets see you.
There is something South Africa is doing right in terms of churning out good coaches that we need to really go and investigate.
They have found a way to churn out the likes of Ptiso Mosimane (former Al Ahly coach), Benni McCarthy (Man U asst coach), Quinton Fortune (Man Utd youth coach), Rhulani Mokwena (Mamelodi Sundowns), Mandla Ncikazi (Orlando Pirates), Thabo Senong (Former lesotho coach) and Desire Ellis (Womens National team coach and 3 times CAF womens coach of the year) who have all gone on to make names for themselves in and outside their country.
Nigeria FA and Nigerian ex-internationals….wake up. Dust up your lazy entitled asses and get to work. Ex-international is not a chieftaincy title, neither is at a Coaching badge. No serious minded club or nation gives people jobs just because they are ex-internationals.
Tell them make they hear!

Selfmade vomit, didn’t field Marshall place a curse on you? Begone you son of a bitch.
With the exception of Sunday oliseh whose trying to build his coaching CV in Europe.
Former Nigerian players should learn from this story. They must work hard to get the good coaching jobs like Ndubuisi Egbo.
Heaven bless Egbo and all deserving Ex-Super Eagles players
Kindly tell us the good JOB Egbo has gotten so far. Last time we heard of him, he was an assistant coach in Saudi Arabia. Who knows if he is still there? I want to believe he has licence is far better than benni, why didn’t Man united go for him then.
Na as your small brain take reach na. You can’t give what you don’t have idiot. Can you compare south African league to that small league Egbo dominated. Fool

Na as your small brain take reach na. You can’t give what you don’t have idiot. Can you compare south African league to that small league Egbo dominated. Fool
