The long-awaited appointment of a new Super Eagles coach could finally be made by the NFF this week with two foreign coaches battling Emmanuel Amuneke for the top post.
Pep Guardiola’s right hand man Domenec Torrent and former Cameroon coach Antonio Conceicao are understood to be the two foreign coaches under serious consideration.
The process to hire a new coach for the Super Eagles has been done mostly under the radar with top officials sharply divided on choice of coach as well as whether to settle for a foreign or local man.
One of the top officials told SCORENigeria that were they to settle for a local coach, it will be Amuneke because “he’s best qualified” of his homegrown counterparts.
Torrent enjoyed a close working relationship as No 2 to Pep, who is regarded as the best coach in the world.
His representatives have been bullish in their push for their man to get the top position.
However, his biggest undoing is that he does not have “deep knowledge” of African football having never worked on the continent.
Conceicao, on the other hand, led the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon to third place when they hosted the delayed 2021 AFCON two years ago.
The NFF can afford to pay both foreign coaches.
Amunike should be given a chance please 🥺 in the spirit of renewed hope for Nigeria.
All our footballers should line up behind him and give him maximum support to make him excel.
Let’s GROW up for once!
Let it be Amunike pls. If not, I root for Torrent!
Am not happy the way we prepare our teams for major competitions I mean in all sport events in Afeica and in the worlds events
We take it as jamborees let tell why we are waisting the whole time to pick a coach others has advance in theirs why?
We are ful of quoter system and tribal lots may laugh at us I mean I don’t car because there were times you get 5 to 6 or 7 players from one local club to represent us in many event football but today were are the local clubs clubs that have old players and we pretends this is bad the clubs owners are looking for money and that’s all
Federal goverment has try lots to our teams but few individuals greedy selfishness self center hijacked everything and what do you get from that a man put his money in a project he will never want a falure or he lose his money but when its fom federal gvement foundings oh money don come awoof eat all and our poor boys to represent us from poor family will even be happy to get peanut and what happened we go into the game and come back with nothing with some of the offcials porket full of money and I stand to be corrected at the end we blam our goverment for this and that

God will not help us because we fail to help our selves I mean God help theose who help themselves

Nigeria hàs never learnt from past mistakes which have brought the Nation all kinds of problems, Football including. If our indigenous coaches are well supported by the NFF as they have done with foreign coaches, Nigeria would have excelled in just like the U-17 have done on international level. But the corruption of the men at the NFF has been a problem for decades.
Emmanuel Amunike , had a great career as a footballer, he has been successful as a coach and knows Nigerian football, he
qualifies to be the Head coach, he has the credentials, he has also worked with most of the players at junior level and succeeded with them.
Who cursed us in Nigeria? Why are our people so evil, greedy, self centred and corrupt ?
A question most of us can answer.
All Nigerian coaches are good at their best except for monetary aspects…you are inviting a player to struggle for a position and shirt,but after much sweat and stress, you’ll still demand money to be paid to you as coach, with this players got disappointed and decided to look for greener pastures outside the shores of his country…but I support Emmanuel Amunike to be the head coach of super eagle..I so move ✌️✌️✌️
