NFF leadership is a complete mess and shame. Their incompetence cost us at the AFCON, made us miss the world cup and now they have to pay Rohr millions of dollars. What a waste!
They sacked the whole technical crew and retained Salisu, a man suspended by FIFA, served his suspension, NFF brought him back to assist Rohr, sacked Rohr and retained Salisu,appointed Eguaveon , reappointed Salisu..sacked Eguavoen and Amuneke but still retained Salisu..ABEG can someone school me about the impressive CV this man Salisu has that makes him untouchable?
If you could erase your mind of the bribe he took and look at his achievements as a coach then you may understand why he has being retained over and over again.
BREAKING….. NFF HAS APPOINTED SALISU TO BE THE HEAD COACH OF THE SUPER EAGLES. HE IS TO BE INCHARGE OF SUPER EAGLES FRIENDLY MATCHES AND AFCON QUALIFYING MATCHES. LATEST NEWS SO FAR. IS THIS A DREAM?
The Sports Ministry needs to CLOSELY MONITOR the entire interview process.
EAGLE-EYED MONITORING is required.
The hiring decision MUST NOT be left exclusively in the hands of this NFF.
This NFF can participate in the interview process, but the Sports Ministry should be heavily involved in the final hiring decision.
Going forward, it’s not only the SE coaches that should be given KPI targets. The NFF board should also be given their own KPI targets, and failure to meet those targets should trigger impeachment proceedings. Or a new election.
The current NFF should be out of office by now, if we had such modalities in place.
Instead of just firing under-performing coaches, the NFF board should also face the possibility of being relieved of their duties. Tie their continued employment to performance, and we will likely see a MUCH NEEDED uptick in productivity.
Since early last year, Dare has kept saying we cannot have world class players playing in top teams in Europe coached by a bad coach(this sentence is paraphrased). He saw the handwriting on the wall because he lacked confidence in the NIGERIEN coach. He wants this fixed in earnest so that we can return to the echelon of world football.
Pinick used gragra to get sponsors for the SE coaches and destroyed many national teams. Albeit no more Futsal, beach soccer teams. Robbed Peter to swindle Paul. National team coaches were no more on full salary but depended on bonuses when the government did not say they cannot pay the various assistant coaches.
Under Pinick, no more long camps for Eaglets as in the days of Kanu and Oruma who went round the country playing friendly games. We were begging foreign born players becos Rohr deceived them that the best players are abroad while failing to invite the best DESSERS. Omo9ja has been clamouring for his inclusion but all fell on deaf ears. May we get the best coach to bring out the best from these crop of talents at our disposal. Weldone Uncle Dare
Rohr was right to leave Dessers out at the time.
A player who has being used minimally shouldn’t get an invite to a national team as huge as the super eagles unless he’s playing in a position where competition is less, unfortunately,he plays as a striker position we are embarrassed with talents.
So Rohr was right then Omo Naija was wrong.
In my opinion rather than the Nff pay Rohr the huge depth mandated by FIFA they should instead reappoint him to continue from where he stopped.Afterall he met all targets he was a good coach and still is and he’s available rather than go for a new head we are not sure about why not carry on with tried and tested just thinking out loud.
So you expected Rohr to invite Dressers ahead of Onuachu who was benching Dressers at Genk at that time. Hatred will never allow some people to be objective. Rohr was even criticised for inviting Dressers instead of Onuachu for the friendly against Tunisia back then.
Are you minding ignoramuses…??
The whole of last season, Dessers couldnt get game time at Genk whilst Onuachu, Osimhen, Moffi, Iheanacho, Sadiq, Awoniyi etc were all scoring goals with reckless abandon. If Rohr had invited Dessers then, town criers would have cried and accused Rohr of collecting Bribe, just like they did when Rohr invited Dessers ahead of Onuachu for the Algeria and Tunisia games.
As at september 1-7 when we played our first 2 WC qualifiers this season, Dessers had just played 196 minutes out of a possible 720 minutes. Rohr should have invited him ahead of Onuachu was was starting every single game in the same Genk.
As at October 7th to 10th when we played the other 2 games, Dessers have moved on loan to Feyenoord and was still settling in, while the likes of Awoniyi and co were already setting Bundesliga and La liga on fire, with Onuachu not relenting, we didnt have any injuries in out CF position. Though he had started settling down at Feyenoord, still, Dessers had just played 96 minutes out of a possible 540 minutes….but Rohr should have invited him ahead of others who were starters and regualar scorers in their clubs, because we needed 5 CFs for a qualifying game……LMAOoooo.
But the final 2 games, common sense dictates they were 2 crucial matches that required a few as possible new players, especially when all the others where available too.
Some people dont just have basic, common sense and sense of hindsight. They just open their mouths and let their hatreds dictate what they vomit out of it…..LMAOoo. They are looking for every ways to indict Rohr in order to find peace in their troubled lives…LMAOoo
The same Rohr included Dessers name in the 40 MAN provisional sqaud submitted in November, when Dessers have fully settled in Feyenoord, gotten a good amount of game time as well has found his form and rhythm back, the same Rohr had already started preparing Dessers to take over the point man role at AFCON in the impending absence of Osimhen……but the racists who wanted to sell market named their final 28 man squad from the comfort of their bedrooms and omitted deserving inform players like Dessers and Bassey because they are foreign borns and need to be watched live, while naming injured and brown-envelop Ndah and Nwakali who were never even in the provisional squads.
With Onuachu, Moffi, Osimhen injured and Ighalo not available, 4 CFs, they olodo local thieves rather preferred to invite an Oyekuru (a 1 goal 1 assist all season winger) and their homebased 18 years OLD MAN as replacement…LMAOooo
Objectivity in the lives of some people has lone been shot dead by SARS operatives.
Rohr was an incompetent coach that was why he was always confused with his invitations, selections and playing pattern which was actually non existent in his team over six years . Dresser do play from the wings and he is a better player on the wings than the likes of Ahmed musa, Dresser can play as sub-9, so there was no reason for overlooking him over and over again other than incompetence. He did the same to Awoniyi and co
Unserious type. I know your type if I see one NFF.
This is why we have no choice but to force the current NFF members out of their offices. They are have been looking for a coach now since when?What a shame.
Sports minister is doing is job too well and he doesn’t want the repeat of Oga Rohr scenarios again. This is why the sports minister turned down Paseiro.
Amaju and his carbals haven’t seen anything good in Cocu? If they can’t afford Cocu, then they should go for Egbo, Amunike and Finidi. Oh well, I don’t need to waste my time on you people because NFF doesn’t know what they are doing. What a disgrace.
Mr. Dare have seen it all. He doesn’t
trust the current NFF because of their atrocities. We all have to keep our eyes on them. No room for corruption. God bless Nigeria!!!
That NNF chairman na confirmed Alcultic man and he get contact on top because na Hawousa man. Go see wetin samuel Eto is doing in cameroun.
WHAT WILL BE THE OUTCOME OF PROPOSED INTERVIEW: “DELAY AGAIN”.
WHAT I DISCOVERED ABOUT THIS COUNTRY IS THAT WE ALWAYS PRETEND & CLAIM THAT WE KNOW(of which, we don’t know anything) AND TAKE THINGS FOR SO LONG. EVEN IN ADVANCED COUNTRIES THAT KNOW FOOTBALL MORE THAN US, THEY DON’T WASTE TIME IN EMPLOYING A NEW COACH. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE WILL STILL EMPLOY ZERO COACH UPON TIME WASTING FOR INTERVIEWED.
THIS MENTALLY ALSO EXTENDED TO OTHER AREA OUR GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES IN THIS COUNTRY
*** WE MAKE NOISE ON COVID-19,COVID-19, ISOLATION CENTRE-ISOLATION CENTRE AS IF WE ARE THE ONE THAT KNOW PASS. AT THE END OF THE DAY, NO SINGLE PATIENT. AMERICAN, RUSSIA, FRANCE THAT KNOW MORE THAN US, THEY DOESN’T MAKE NOISE, INSTEAD THEY TAKE ACTION.
*** LOOK AT OUR COMPUTER-BASED-TEST EXAMINATION FOR STUDENT THAT WANT TO SIT FOR JAMB. ARE MATURED YET IN TERMS OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY IN THE COUNTRY. HOW MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS FACILITIES, STADIUMS FACILITIES ARE ACTUALLY COMPUTERIZED.AT THE END OF THE DAY, ZERO, WE JUST LIKE TO BE MAKING NOISE.
*** ALSO, LOOK AT OUR POLITICAL PARTIES TODAY. OVER 100 ASPIRANTS HAVE OBTAINED FORM FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. AT THE END OF THE DAY,MAY BE THE PERSON THAT WILL EVENTUAL EMERGE AS PARTY FLAG-BEARER WILL BE THE ONE THAT DOESN’T HAVE EVEN COMMON WAEC (SSCE) RESULT. UPON NOISE OF PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. ADVANCED COUNTRIES SELF, THEY DOESN’T MAKE NOISE LIKE WE NIGERIA.
### NFF, YOU ARE MAKING NOISE, WASTING TIME. GIVE US STANDARD FOREIGN COACH THAT KNOWS ABOUT AFRICA FOOTBALL AND NIGERIA PLAYERS BOTH HOME AND ABROAD ###
Nff is not the problem of Nigerian football rather Sunday Dare.
Dare engineered the sacking of Rohr,Dare rejected Nff’s choice of foreign coach and has mandated for more interviews,so the delays we are experiencing now is not the Nff’s making rather the sports ministry.
Due to poor financial state of the Nff and dependant on government for funding,the sports ministry has taken advantage of the situation to run football in the country.
We should dig profoundly to find out the causes of our problems,most times what we think or who we blame could be innocent,the actual devils hide behind the scene to cause damages and indeed we are a damaged nation,the no show in Qatar was depressing to every football lover in the country who are used to seeing our team amongst the best there’s showcase their talents in the best FIFA tournament.
What a shame Dare and Eguavoen brought to our football,two people known to fail,two people who should stay far away from our football henceforth.
Dare is not a failure ooooo. Uncle Dare has used wisdom to revive the reconstruction
of the MKO Abiola stadium and now they are working on the National Stadium Surulere. No minister achieved that during their tenures. They mentained status quo and left.
Most of the problems the Eagles faced was because they moved the Super Eagles from Lagos to other states. Some of these boys would have been booed to either up their ante at matches or never smell the Eagles shirt again. Lagos fans helped to a greater extent the 1994 set ooooooooo.
Talk your own bros me. Black people na real shithole both educated and non educated. Yahoo yahoo in all ramifications in Nigeria. Asia countries are better than some black countries in Africa. Part from Egypt. Tunisia Algeria. Morocco and so on.
With Nigeria’s image abroad as a gangster nation, only a greedy mediocre or a fool will want to leave his country to coach Nigeria. Let us save money and leave the Super Eagles in the hands of Yussuf and Finidi.
Penny wise pounds foolish. Obviously, I for one never had anything to with a foreign coach. It is pure shit and actually a total waste of funds to still be on this foreign coach nonsense thing. Sunday Dare is too educated to be toeing such line of thought. Nff should present an indigenous coach based on merit and the very reason why Augustine Eguavoen remains the most qualified unless we have accepted elect him the NFF chief scribe. Even at that, he could act on interim basis till September. Another aside, the assistant coaches announced so far by the NFF should have their appointments further reviewed because some of them lack experience so don’t merit it.
@Friday, you have spoken the minds of many Super Eagles fans. It is just that we are shy to mandate Amaju to ensure the funds are paid to a local coach who is interested in our local league instead of taking it elsewhere. Any person can go to sokoto and be back, it is still inside shokoto as what we must insist on is a coach with local appeal.
Hmmm….The Idea was to use ROHR, tap from his knowledges/Experiences and dump him. Chikeina.
At First, they wanted to use Yobo but it didn’t work so they decided to stick with Salisu Yusuf whom Rohr trusted the most. With the believe that he must have gathered lots of experiences.
Now that they (NFF) have lots of debts to pay, we Nigerians should expect the worst from them which is “to stick with Yusuf and Finito”
Pls, don’t be surprised if this happens.
I think Nff must continue to beg Egu for the top job.
I want to believe the minister of sports was misquoted otherwise it’s sheer stupidity to even have an expatriate coach who might not have won any trophy when we have domestic coaches dotting our space. Pls, who knows the current FIFA ranking? Where is Nigeria on the log?
They should give it to Cerezo and Yusuf.
@efriday ooooo!!! You want finitio app. to be reviewed?
Which right-thinking coach will want to come and coach Nigeria when we are notorious for owing salaries? It is not even fair that these administrators do all of these things and expect things to work. Look at all those horrible stadia they forced SE to play on and now accused the manager of not getting results. The simplest things expected of a management team are not done and yet they expected the coach to achieve under that horrible circumstance.
Isn’t the same useless minister who insisted on local coach to please president Buhari local content policy before Nations cup and WCQ but after his local coaches failed woefully he is now talking about inviting all the foreign coaches in the world for interview.
