Between Keshi And Siasia As Eagles Coach!!



I am a Super Eagles fan, and will continue to be despite our great team's downward slide. A slide that has seen the Super Eagles struggle on the continent with minows before unheralded rub shoulders with us. I hear we are even now being called the "Super Chickens", this is not funny at all and it hurts so bad.
It is on paper that our most glorious moments in football was orchestrated by a white man, a different white man than the one that led us to probably our most disastrous outing at the just concluded Nations Cup in Ghana. I really don't have a problem against a white man as our coach, my problem is with the calibre and experience of the appointed coach.
Berti Vogts is a good coach, but without any knowledge of African football,especially the Murky waters and the intrigues and the power games that is the Nigerian Football Association(NFA). The bottom line is that he failed in a football mad country, we are bonded by football more than any other thing.
Now the NFA is at it again, picking the man that will be in charge of tinkering the team towards the world cup in 2 years time. Several names have been put across including Stephen Keshi,Sampson Siasia,Sunday Oliseh,Daniel Amokashi and even Clemens Westerhorf who remains by some miles,the most successful Super Eagles coach.
If you ask me, i think the job should be given to a Nigerian, no sentiments. All of the above listed names are home boys except Westerhorf, and all have played at the highest level, so they know how bad the team has fallen since their glorious days. Westerhorf was very stubborn as a coach,probably the single most outstanding quality you will need to work with the NFA.
If not for his sturbboness, Siasia would not have made it with the Under 20 team at Holland 2005. Keshi we all know has coached in Togo and was quite successful taking them to the nations cup 4 years ago. We also know that the "Boss" as Stephen is called is very authoritative.
Amokashi and Oliseh, well i don't want to talk about them because there isn't much to say about them.The only word for them is "Inexperience" at this level.
So as NFA name their man this week, i hope the boys in the glass house realize that they should not only work for their pockets, they should put the progress of our DEAR SUPER EAGLES in their hearts in minds.
Hey! i think i will pick Stephen Keshi and Siasia as assistant, or what do you all think?
