Your comments on this story...
are we not tired of these caption everytime we are grouped?
we should start to build a team now rather than cling glasses because of cheap group in disguise.
Reagarding the confused interviews and jostle for a new TA....................
of course the worst performer in the interviews would always get the job, just like Amodu.
i think they should include Amodu once again in the interview, but undoubtedly these are all gimmicks so that at the end of the day, it would be too late or no longer important to hire a coach, hence amodu returns.
Thats the game folks.
make dem add u lol...
IT seem there is confusion and from the look of things are messy about which coach want to take nigeria to world cup come june this year.
Lets face the fact, name like the ex-coach of Gahna black star had withdraw from the lists and was annnoyed for putting his name on the lists. There are many coaches on the lists which one is true, today is former sweden coach, the present coach of russian, louis van gaal, peter taylor, and tomorrow arrigo sacchi. I prayed at the end of all this rasmatazz, a world class coach who knows how africans think and her football not any kind of coach without pedigree.
