It no more news that Nigerian football Federation (NFF)
has decided not has home base coaches: for the country’s National Team,
according to reporter the decision by the football analyst was probably taken
as a result of sudden exit of coach Sunday Olise
. But the fact remain that Olise
is not the first local coach to either leave or sent away simultaneously from
the super Eagle’s handler.
The questions that already come to the mind are why is it
that it is always difficult for the local coach to succeed as eagle’s handlers?
It is because they are not well equipped to handle national teams. They do not test
and trusted by the technical department of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF)
before they were hired. It is a fact that the issue of ceremoniously departure
suddenly not peculiar to the local coaches alone. For instance: Baramerit Norich abandoned the Super Eagles
without informing his employers after the team lost in Denmark at the France 98
World Cup. Lass Logaback did the
same thing at the South Africa during 2010 World Cup, this is why one wonders
why it s always difficult for the Nigerian Football Federation to manage hire
coaches successfully? Although, no coach will accept failure easily without
excuses that are not at times tenable. But the NFF still holds the teaming
soccer fine explanation why not recording success whenever a local coach is
hired to handle the super eagles.
On the other hand, investigations revealed that the home
based coaches often rejected the input from the technical department of Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF), which can assist in diamond their Job. In addition,
on realistic expectations of Nigeria whenever a local coach is hired a run can tedious
in to a failure: for example Nigerian Soccer fine wants a local coach to win
every match in ability to achieve this is regarded as failure.
Undoubtedly, some of the Home Base coaches have at one
time or the other proved themselves competent enough to have qualify the Super
Eagles for a world cup. One of the cups of the nation of the 17 World Cup,
Continental trophies like Carl’s champion’s league, AFCON Federation Cup, What bring the problem between NFF and Local
coaches. According to the football analyst the problem is sudden exit of the
local coaches and the inability to record success, also traced to poor
administration by the NFF. This they
add is as a result of frequent misunderstanding amongst NFF Board members, in addition the introduction of politics to
selection and re-election of football managers in the country, which always
give room for putting round pen in square holes does not allow managers who has
deep knowledge the game and does not know how to manage the coaches to succeed
or have a say in football administration. This is why government should
insinuate politics from football Administration.
Hiring of indigenous coaches should not be politicized;
the reason is to give in to such coaches to operate in a conducive atmosphere,
apart from the advance reasons. This is the right time for the Nigerian Football Federation NFF to let
go some see football as a strong way of indication in the country to know that
there is football and local coaches can be managed successfully despite the
abundant talent in football home and abroad. Local coaches on the hand, should
always try to refresh their coaches in their experiences, they should always
consider the certificate of diplomacy which they obtained in coaching 30years
ago. And no more relevance in this modern day scientific coaching and foot balling.
