Football Federation shortlists three coaches for Eagles

WE DONT NEED ANY FOREIGN COACH. IF SANI LULU'S ONLY IDEA FOR SOUTH AFRICA IS A FOREIGN COACH THEN HE SHOULD KINDLY QUIT ADMINISTRATION.

i believe nigeria needs a foreign coach for now as our coaches are not ready for the job. y dont they go out like keshi to pick jobs from clubs and national teams first as this will help them,most of them dont know how to get what they want to improve the team. pls dont get me wrong they are good but a primary school teacher cant teach a first uni-student thats how issue.

we need one at least for us to do well in the mundial

AMODU IS NOT OUR PROBLEM.NFF SHOULD PUT THEIR HOUSE IN ORDER,IF THEY WANT EAGLES TO EXCEL AT THE WORLD CUP.

I think amodu should be sent out completely. In my opinion, i think the guy lacks what it takes to be in the super eagles technical crew. If amodu is not sent out completely, he might make life difficult for the incoming coach.

Retaining Amodu in a team led by an expatriate, may bring divided interests in the team. Otherwise give Amodu a better helping hand.GOODLUCK NIGERIA

O boy wil need dem !

Our problem is not Amodu but the politics in the glass house.He should be allowed to lead the team to South Africa.

GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, GIVE US SIASIA, SIASIA FOR LIFE

can't anybody even think wisely on the board of NFF.The nation cup that as just ended for example,no foreign or white coach get to the final,except ghana coach and did not win the final.The problem of nigeria is that,players like yakubu,kanu & yobo has no business in angola.one can easily check there form in there different clubs.they have form themselves into Mafia & are been foisted on the coach.

Hear this as a qualification "to get an expatriate handler who has the experience of having led a team to the Mundial in the past." I can tell the NFF for free that there are many such coaches, most of them out of Job. Have Bora, Troussier and Jo Bonfere not applied for the job yet? Otherwise we could get one from China or Azerbaijan.

Amodus CV to me is outstanding, what we need is special, additional sandwitch courses to augment his skills give him all the freedom to choose whom he knows can deliver.shehata hassan of egypt who lead Egypt to 3 Consecutive nations cup did not start over night, and I strongly believe that Nigeria will get there too, even with Amodu

forign coach such as Guus Hiddink to be assisted by posetive minded Siasia would do us good.

we have enough coaches here i Nigeria. Why do we always want to look out? Is this part of the rebranding exercise of importing foreign materials?

THERE IS LONG STORY CONCERNING THE ISSUE OF A FOREIGN COACH,GUUS HIDDINK IS THE BEST OPTION FOR THE SUPER EAGLES AND NO ONE ELSE CONSIDERING HIS EXPERIENCE IN HANDLING A BIG CLUB{CHELSEA FC}. THOUGH HE FAILED WITH RUSSIA, HIS PROFFESIONALISM IN THE WORLD CUP CAN BE ASSESSED USING A CASE STUDY OF THE AUSRALIAN AND SOUTH KOREAN TOUR IN PREVIOUS WORLD CUP. IN THE CASE OF AMODU, HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE ON THE SUPER EAGLES TECHNICAL CREW UNDER ANY CONSIERATION, HE HAS FAILED AND IS A FAILURE,HIS IDEAS IN ANY FORM TO AN EXPERIENCED COACH COULD TURN OUT DISASTROUS HENCE HE HAD THOSE SAME IDEAS BUT COULD NOT TAKE THE SUPER EAGLES TO THE AFRICAN CUP OF NATIONS FINAL.

Please the board should drop emotions and be objective, considering Shaibu to be part of the technical team should not be an option for consideration. dude isnt good enuff let him go for good haba. he will just politicise the team again. enuf of shaibu, let a fresh team take over!

I'm against it. No to foreign coach, the talents abound here, harness them: Oliseh, Siasia, Keshi, Obuh et al.. so many of them, competent.

WE NEED FOREIGN COACH BECAUSE OUR SUPER EAGLES LACK THE TECHNICALITY IN FOOTBALL,THAT IS WHY THEY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO SCORE.

Amodu should be credit for the performances the eagles displaced in the Angola (ACN).Nigeria always have problems with coach and technical adviser.We don't need any foreign coach,AMODU can do the job if there is no dictation or selection from the SANI LULU'S table.

Franklin. U r a clown! But still straight to the point

All will need is a discipline football team that is all.

There is no need for any foreign coach as far as super eagles is concern. The problem is from the players themselves. If NFF must change a coach for super eagles, then people like Austin Okocha, Samson Siasia should be contacted please.

I don't think Amodu is the problem. The guys need to be blame also, if you look at some of their play you will believe with me that, they don't put their very best. One thing is to talk about the coach, another thing is the players to play as though they are playing in the their foreign clubs. I think whatever motivation they need should be given to them to provoke their best performance. WE DON'T NEED FOREIGN COACH

I'm sure even those of them in the Glass House know that a foreing coach is no solution to Nigerian football. All the other foreing coaches we have had, where did they take us to? Angola has a foreign coach, where did they got to in the Nations Cup they hosted? Has foreign coaches solved South Africa's football problem? I'm sure those guys only want to dig another well where they can throw in some of our 'oil money.'

Why are we always waitting for Amodu to qulifiy us to World Cup before placing Him on REDONDANCY?.. 2002.....2010.. I think the NFF should cheek their Cupboard. Can't we manage Siasia?

AMODU IS A JUJU MAN WE DONT NEED HIM ANYMORE

Its not only the issue of a new coasch. we need new set of players. football is an absorbing game that could only be paid by youngsters.our 'boys' (please read men) are not in it any longer. They have refused to leave football so football has left them. Is it not an irony that on paper (i.e.pasport) osaze is one of the 'oldest in that team, while those who are old enough to be osaze's bros if they grew up in the same compound, are called 25, 26 years old. that is the main bane. Let us reform the system. We are reaping the result of our 'successes' at the various age grade competition. How old were oliseh, amokachi,and a few other guys when they played for the senior national team? Go and bring Brazilian santana or whatever names are being touted as a consortium for our angola contigent, we would play the three mandatory matches in south africa and come back home. that is the way i see it.

Amodu is not the problem of Nigeria football, Nff should give him the chance to do his selection by himself by not imposing players on him. Amodu has qualifed Nigeria for two previous worldcup and came back with Bronze medal in his two previous Nation cup. To me the man(Amodu)has met the standard set for him by the Nigeria Football Federation, it will be unfair to now impose a foreign coach who could not qualify the team he handled for worldcup at the qualifying stages.I think Nigeria equally need the service of foreign NFF chairman.

Sack Amodu bring foreign coach let Amokachi be the chief coach period.

We need a good coach not necessarly foreign one. Amodu should be commended for a good job. Think of it, the foreign coach he took over from refused to live in nigeria, disgraced NFA, failed to qualify us beyond first round in Ghana and flew straihgt from Ghana to Germany form he tendered his resignation and asked for more money. Why can't we celeberate our own and help him to move forward. Shehata did not qualify Egypt for World Cup but he is not sacked!!!! and nobody is talking about his sack!!!!!

This 's another merry go round: A foreign coach will be hired, next the FA will not have money to pay his salaries or arguement on whether he will operate from abroad or be based in Nigeria and so much more. Getting a coach six months to a major mundial is a recipe for disaster and well, you can't hold the new coach accountable- he is not a magician. Either we get a technically sound person to assist Amodu or we allow him to finish his contract. All this hula balo about SA 2010 should stop. we really cannot build a team that can make any difference in this short time. We probably should vote out the present FA and vote in another set of people. In fact , our problem in Nigeria is that we keep recycling the same set of people and that's why we keep getting the same poor results.

It is true Samson Siasia can do the job. he knows the majority of our players (mikel, taiwo, osaze, obasi, bayo, etc). he will truely want to give it his all because he is a nigerian (Vogts didnt show that he cared, he simply just came to work, win or lose, the guy no even send). siasia is the best coach nigeria has. i think someone like westerhoff or bonfere jo should be siasia's assistant. Siasia believes injecting young players and home based in the team, the same thing martinsand osaze critisized amodu about. where is osanga, rabiu ibrahim, aluko, obiora nwankwo. olubayo is the best right back we have and siasia believed in him at the olympics. SAMSON SIAISA for super eages.

i support siasia working togeher with guus hiddink is the best for our football future here in nigeria and it will help our home base player alot.

I can't understand Nigerians who want to blame the invalid Nigerian players in Angola rather than the stupid coach who took them there. The buck stops on the coach's table. Enough of this our Nigerian mentality of 'he try small'. The guy is not good enough! He was hoping that the passion of the players could carry him to the finals but there is a limit to how far passion can take in the absence of preparations. The Egyptians had a passion for the game and they prepared to win; selected their best coach, who selected their best players and they went ALL the way to win the Cup. What other model is there for success? Okay, maybe: Go to the Synagogue to see the TBJosh who selects the team based on visions and the past matches he has watched; then go to Angola with his list and a hotline to his phone. That's a sure recipe for failure. Please let's get a coach not an acolyte.

A polish coach on the shortlisted list?what a shame.As far as i know Polish coaches are not beter than Nigerian coaches.Untill recentlly Beenhakker, a Dutch man was the national coach of Poland.He fir the first time in Polish history qualified the Polish team to the European cup,the equivalent of the African cup of nation. My advice is chose a Dutch coach,not the big Dutch coaches,i bet you NIgeria will go far in the world cup.

Nigeria needs a Coach who can trensform the patter of play from a sideways passing team with no penetration to a progressive team that is looking to penetrate our opponents defence. Westerhoff was the only coach that made this transition without compromising the flair of the Nigerian Player. The problem with amodu is that he did not learn during his time with Westhoff and BonJo. That is why I call for hime to be replaced. The key to our success in the mundial is to combine the atheletic ability of young talatented nigerian footballers with limited experience profesional. The most important thing is that the niageria team have to play alot faster in the oppointes 1/3 of the pitch. As for OBi Mikel - he is just frustrating, how can a talent attacking midfielder become a lazy defence midfielder is anyones guess but the move to chelsea helped his bank balance , but nothing else.

Only in Nigeria will we see no good in a local coach who has led at least two different teams to qualify for the world cup. Nobody sent him to technical training academies, nobody attached him to a foreign club, nothing! Yet his 'team' is in the world cup, who did he beat along the way? Yes you guessed right, teams with foreign coaches. We are now led to believe that a coach who could not lead the mighty Russian team with all the talent they have is better than our boy who with limited control over selection, still got Nigeria to the World Cup and to the Bronze at the CAF games. THIS IS WHY WE WILL NEVER PROGRESS. A prophet has no honor in his own land. Fela now has a Broadway show that is a hit, we were throwing him in jail in Nigeria. Soyinka is a Nobel winner, we were running him down in Nigeria. China will soon drain what remains of our oil and World Bank will take what is left of our money. We continue to be the blind, impotent 'giant of Africa'. The 'President' has not been seen in the country and in public anywhere going on three (3) months, and we continue to wake up every morning, drink our akamu, yak about foreign coaches and head out to the rat race. NIGERIA WE HAIL THEE!

Jack Ubong you will live long. How many of us need to be persuaded to help or be passionate about our families by a complete outsider. Playing for your country should be like going to war. Yes Nigeria has many problems as a country but that is no excuse to represent the country with a "COULD NOT CARE LESS ATTITUDE". So even if we had God as our coach Nigeria will still be found wanting. Sad days ahead with this foreign coach nonsense for Nigeria. As for Amodu whatever his short cummings his record is one to be proud of. Nigeria is there no end to our continued downfall.

NFF,pls we dont need to continue with these experiments.let Amodu finish what he started.

We like deceiving ourselves in Nig. Those who are saying we don't need foreign coach don't knw anything about modern footbal & world cup in particular. Even england use foreign coach, hw much more nigeria.

Yeah, we need a foreign coach b'cos d match against just a need a bit of football tactics 4 d match 2 turn around, and that Amodu can't do,we need a good tactian.

I have seen countries where people bow out honorably but it is not the case in Nigeria.Our presidents will do anything to remain forever so it is not new to see Amodu trying to remain there forever even in the midst of failure and all sad criticisms.the first time,Amodu-semi final,Christian Chukwu-semi final,Austin Eguavoen-semi final,Amodu again-semi final.Can't we try something new again and bring in a foreigner,then give him a long term arrangement to see if our football can return to the glory of 1994 or even better.then if you are sacking,then sack the entire technical crew.Instead of concentrating on their jobs,they are busy going to one prayer house or native doctor in order to retain their position and Nigerians would become blind.NO WAY.THEY ARE LOSERS AND WE HAVE TO TREAT THEM LIKE LOSERS.let us not pamper the truth,we even need a foreign president but let us start with our football.

all we need is a foreign coach... like that Zambian coach very active coach

To me amodu should be left alone to carry the super eagles to the world cup in south africa.All that he needs is just some few issue to handle with the present team.if Nigeria can beat mozanbic,dont mind my spelling,then it show that he is good even better than their coach.Pls the NFF should let Amodu to continue as he deserve it.A man should not reap were another mn sow,Amodu is a great man in Nigeria and should be respected. Amodu if every body thinks you have failed they should go and check your record with the super eagle,i support you and i will always do TO ME YOU ARE A LEGEND GODFREY

Hey forumites. ALl i have is one question, does anyone know why the NFF does not even mention Siasia or look his way? I am puzzled.

Nigerian Needs a coach that is passionate about his work and cares about his success and that of his team not the coach who cares about a paycheck and benefits!

i think a black foreign coach won't be a bad thing and i got three propositions to make:1.lilian thuran he won the world and the european cup respectively with the french squad and also he played in italy for many years likewise in spain i think from is experiences that i saw like every soccers' fans he can be a good coach even zidane when he came back from his first prematured retirement gave one reason before playing that he play for his country's squad only if thuram comes along with him what a come back then in germany 2006!if you need a translateur l can give my service for free for our country this is a true black!2.jean tigana also a french soccer household name who experinces is well recognise in france(monaco) who trainned players like nigerian victor ikpeba,french thiery henry,likewise french juventus stricker david treizegé.he also was a respected coach in the english national league.3.the former holland barcelonia coach frank rykaeert.as a nigeria who has lived here in europe for 20years now i think a black coach will be a very good thing.

Nigeria has abundant talent in football. We have local coach who are quite good. But the problem we have is selection. Not that local coach like Amodu can't do the job but they can't select player without sentiment. Yeah that's were the problem lies SELECTION. We need experience and energetic foreign coach. We have got South Africa 2010 to show our brand. 'The Giant of Africa'

Isn't that funny. We should hire a foreign coach and give him/her a long term contract but we should always short circuit our own people at the first sign of trouble! WONDERFUL! How many times have we had foreign coaches? What have they accomplished that Amodu has not? Don't get me wrong, I am not pro or con Amodu, I just do not understand why this man's accomplishments are so discounted and disrespected, the only reason from all the jargon I have been reading here is because he is a NIGERIAN. Foreign coach will not get on the field and score the goals, foreign coach will not make sure the boys get their money on time and are housed in class hotels. How much have we paid Amodu? How much are we willing to pay Mr. Foriegn Coach? How many soccer clinics have you sent Amodu to? Let us see whether Mr. Foreign Coach will help us beat Brazil, England, Argentina, etc.

We don´t need any SISIA OR AMODU NOW. we need an exposed and experienced coach to be contracted for just six months.I believe no sports loving nigerian would like a repeat of the near digraceful outing of our Eagles in Angola recently.Yes the finished third but without any impressive performance. We don´t want any quota system in team selection and i believe only a foreign coach can achieve that.

Why foreign coach? When we have persons like Siasia, Kechi and Eguavon. Did Egypt win the Nations cup with a foreign coach?

Our players doesn't respect the coach bcos some of them feel they r richer than him. They don't play to instructions but play to d gallery.Amodu can't command his players. We need a coach that the players will respect n obey his instructions.

Firstly, let there be transparency and Efficacy in the glass house. We have to learn from (Berti Vogts) issue when he failed Nigerians as a a result of claimed logistical problems, I hope if another foreign coach should take over these said problem will not occur again. On Amodu issue please lease him of his job b'cos we are tired of sick leaders in Nigeria. please and please NFF carry along Nigerian home based players b'cos this is the only way to appreciate our league.

I tink d issue of hirin a f oreing coach is now 2oo late,let us jus allow amodu2 go 2 d world cup bcos we just ve less dan 4 months 4 d mundial,just dat he lack's tactis wen it come's 2 dat nd tactis win's match.let him inject young players into d team d likes of rabiu ibrahim,chibuzor okonkwo nd osanga especially rabiu ibrahim we need dat guy in midfield we lac creativity at least we al saw ghana at d nation cup wat they did wit the young players plz our destiny is our hands

What? what?? what????? You just can't replace the coach that qualify his team to world cup with the one that did not qualify his own team. Amadu have a perfect record. we need new players not new coach. the tactic he used against Ghana was good. Nigeria domminate the game but the players couldn't make use of any of their chances.

NFF should please not consider Amodu to work with the new coach. It will bring disharmony within the team. Infact I expected Amodu to have resign by now. I do not think the man has any honour and integrity in him. What is he still waiting for? As for the NFF their time is up. We need new administrator. We need people that are not biased. These people continuous stay at the glass house will spell doom for the country football.

In my opinion NFF shoudn,t have hire amodu in the first instance.why? we have a younger coach that have been to two finals at the world stages.olympic and under 21 youth.what crateria that they need again in local coach that glass house wont.siasia+Guus Hiddink=World in Nigeria.

Its never too late, if we act now the resources(players)are there to work with. Are we not ashamed of our football? We were defeated by Ghana's under 20 yet some are stil saying we don't need foreign coach. Amodu shld be responsible 4 his failure, he dropped Adeleye 4 nwaneri who was the main culprit behind our poor performance in Angola. He played nothing against egypt & Ghana. What sort of coach is this? Its a known fact that, all our record against some teams were broken during the reign of these local coaches. 47 years record final buried, japan had neva beat us b4 in any level, but we were bitten 3nil during chukwu's era. Foreign coaches won all our laurels 4 us at senior level. So pls 4 the return of lost glory of football in Nig, we need foreign coach.

Many of those who called Amodu a stupid coach or a failure, has fail in their proffesional field no body them just bcos there not in position to be know like Amodu. people should mind of their speech when making comment on any issue.

Wen are we goin to learn! We agree on siasia n if NFF brings in a foreign coach, we barricade the international airport the day the foreign coach is comin. If dey fly him, good but we can always stop friendly matches....for once let us begin to act! Let our leaders know we put them der to serve us n not us serve dem. Obama is a servant leader! Let us show some examples dat we cannot continue to fold our arms n watch them. This people are indirectly tellin over 150million people dat U CAN DO NOTHINH WATCH US!! Me n u are fools n cowards if we let dem ve their way!

Actually we need a foriegn coach.we should ubderstand that the best performance so far by the Super Eagles was during the time of westerholf and bonfree joe.Super Eagles is too much for a local coach to handle.Amodu should be given the chance to work with the forign coach,inorder to have more esperience that will help the country tommorow.

The Nigerian – before even anyone ask – will tell you what school he attended and how many academic degrees he has; and how Nigerians are the most educated and intelligent people on earth. And yet Nigerians run to foreigners for even minor problems – plagiarized constitution; foreign goods; poor copycat musicians singing: “I do it to you, you do it to me”; foreign contractors, fake foreign accent, foreign managers and supervisors (even from India and China). Given that they are the (self-acclaimed) most educated and intelligent people on earth, could someone tell me one thing that Nigerians can do for themselves without any help from foreigners. While we are at it, maybe we should also hire a foreign President for the country. But pill off the exterior facet, most Nigerians lack confidence in themselves, and yet most would deny this truth.

If Nigerians display their passion for football( especially the "sack Amodu" part)for a passion in politics, Nigeria will be a changed country) A new coach will only have one FIFA window to play a friendly march before SA2010. leagues close in europe in June. What time will a foreign coach have to build a team. Our local players could not qualify for first CAF nations cup for local players and yet we are attacking Amodu. Gus Hidink failed in Russia, yet we want him. All the teams Amodu beat in Angola had foreign coaches. Please let us stop this emotional outburst about Amodu. This man should be given an award. My solution is as follows: tell Yobo to play right full back or leave the team. Remove kanu, Nwaneri, Yakubu and martins. bring in adeleye and any other player(s). Draft Keshi, Siasia to support Amodu. if we bring a foreign coach, we are doomed. The good ones are already hired.

Positively, Nigeria need a sound technically minded coach who's authority will be respected by both players and football administerators, who will have interest in tapping our natural talents and developing our football and improving our rating.

i hear that some coaches have higer chances than others. Why do we always have to judge people based on their past performance instead of their present commitment. Lets take example of philip troussile when he knew nigeria chances of going to the world in germany was impossible he pulled out. all this jobless jobful coaches just want to show their faces in the worldcup. since we have have found ourself in this situation GUUS HIDDINK IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB THANKS.

Am sick and tired of the way football is been managed in the country.....why are we crazy of a foreign coach? why cant we encourage our local lads to attain greater height of technical football management. we dont need a foreign coach considering the financial implication on the NFF.....lets encourage our own............

Many fellow Nigerians commenting on this forum either have severe case of INFERIORITY COMPLEX, CURSED BY THEIR PARENTS AT BIRTH OR JUST UP TO MISCHIEF. 1. If a player cannot respect the coach of his national side because he earns more money than him then that player is not fit to wear the national colours. 2. Decision making by most Nigerians is so poor you often wonder if they are retarded. History has shown that lack of consistency never yields dividends in any work of life. 3. Nigeria needs a Nigerian coach period. Also its time to blood some new players espercially home based players. Many of them if determined to do well should use the WC to sell themselves to foreign clubs. Its a win win win situation for Nigeria. Also Nigerians need to be more original and stop copying, just because England qualified for the WC with a foreign coach, in the warped mindset of most Nigerians this equates to we stand a chance of winning....how dumb. Its no wonder the Europeans where able to conquer Africa so easily, they realised that using the weapon of psychology worked quickly on us. Its sad in 2010 most of us still have this mindset.....grim times ahead.

At all cost, let Siasia be part of the crew

I wonder if the NFF has any procedure or guidelines for handing the mess that the SE is in. I doubt it because these SE problems continue to repeat itself and yet no one has learned in two or three decades how to put things right and stop the repeats (In Nigeria mediocrity has become an addiction - like drugs; its victims continue to go down the same road knowing the danger that awaits them; yet another explanation would be that maybe these people are retards). No doubt, and as usual, the NFF will promise Nigerians: “no stone will be unturned” but the serious question is, has the NFF already done a thorough analysis of the SE (Forget what the supporters and pundits think) by inviting the coaching teams and players (past and present) to find out the REAL problems that continue to besiege the SE, before hiring a new coach? Has Amodu and others been debriefed or it is too much work for the NFF or not short-cut enough?

NFF SHOULD HELP TO BUILD NIGERIA COACH(S) BY SENDING AMODU AND HIS ASSISTANT TO COACHING SCHOOL WE CAN'T ACHIEVE ANYTHING WHEN WE ARE NOT CONSISTENT.

I think Samson Siasia is more than fit for this Job. He knows the players he knows the terrain and has the experience of knowing what it feels like on a world stage. Give this talented young man a chance and stop the glass house politicking!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the problem is not just the coaching crew, both NFF and the players should be held responsible for eagles failur, because the nff officials knows Amodu's capability before empoying him, they [nff] ignor the cry of nigerians to give eagles a better coach and went ahead to set a quater final target for Amodu during the last nation cup, the players too did't show any sign of commitment to national assignment, if the nff are not giving the eagle a world class foreign coach with valueable and valid credencials this time they should hand the taem over to siasia, i know he can do it.

We will win one, lose one, and draw one, but crash out at the first round. The Gus, sorry i meant to say the Guy, will throw his hands up and say 'sorry guys, you left it too late if only i've been with you for a year or so'. We will then beg him to sign a long term contract to coach the super Eagles, of course he will refuse, then we will come back and the debate will start again, only this time we will be clamouring for a Nigerian coach....... on and on we go, trying to paper over cracks in our football administration. Someone once defined insanity as doing something over and over the same way and expecting different result.

The best performance we ever had with our senior national team was in Tunisia 94 and Atlanta under foreign coaches Amodu should have be sacked a long time ago. Those in the NFF do not mean well for our football otherwise they wouldint have apointed Amodu who came 3rd on assesment. He hates local based plays because they wont be able to give him dollars. And he does not select players on merit and fitness infact a corupt man does make good decisions. He want to go to SA to disgrace african Football and redicule nigerians as unenlightened fools. Any body could have easily qaulified nigeria to the word cup with the material we have. But Amodu strugledto do so. we formidable talents that amodu have vehemently refused to use. We need a result oriented coach. that has a professional approach

sia sia would NOT take nonsense from them and would not agree to work under anybody...its called self confidence...

We need no other coach to win the world cup, amodu should be given a chance.

Nobody shuld cal Amodu stupid,cos he is gud in his own right,but wat nigerians need,is not a man dat is just good in his own right but a man dat is good anytime,anyday.I really think dat Guus Hiddink is d man 4 d job.Some may say dat he dint qualify russia 4 d world cup,but no matter wat,Hiddink is a grade A coach anyday.

We are only deceiving ouselves the NFF members are looking for a means of stealing through "any" foreing coach which they can not do if Samson Siasia is made the head coach. On Siasia we stand. Tell Lulu to go home. The truth of the matter is that none of the foreing coaches know Nigerian players like Siasia.

Our problem is not Amodu removal neither is it having a new coach, our problem is NFF, we need a coach that will stay for a long time to build a new team, just like what happen to the football federation of egypt. The idea of getting a new coach with old cago boys will not work.

Getting a new technical adviser is just one of the problems.what we really need is to get more committed players like osaze, who are playing in our local league that are looking for the opportunity to wear the green white green.the nff should drop sentiment and pick the good ones in the local league.we should take dressing from the ghana team for the just concluded afcon.our super eagle players are not committed to national duties.they dont attach pride in playing for there nation.is a disgrace if we cannot get solid 22 reliable players out of 140million peoples.

pls get a new coach(foreign) to be assisted by siasia,for GOD sake pls kick amodu out,he is not competent, kanu has no business with the team going to the world cup,aiyegbeni is too heavy,pls pls pls pls, allow amodu to go and rest. GOD BLESS

Even if we hire Alex Ferguson, it wll not make any difference. The time is short. We have only 4 months away to world cup. Again remember we don't have quility players as it were in 90s. How many of our players play 90 minutes game weekly in there respective clubs. So let Siasia Join the technical team. Nigerians has not seen the impact of Amokachi. And he has not told us that Amodu denies him the previlage of making his input either.Siasia already know some local players that can bring back the flier that is lacking even in our victory. Hiddink, Shehata Van Gal etc will still use same bench warmers in there clubs for the world cup.

pls give us those that knows our needs. HIDDINK is good enough to take good care of the so called big boys and SIASIA would take care of the homebased players .

i think the NFF is going about issues wrongly.they will waste a lot of money getting a coach for 2010 whereas they should be looking farther than that. a technically sound coach,like the swede, n a good programme will take us far. lets be sensible even in our haste.

AMODU IS NOT EVEN THE PROBLEM,
