WHY I PREFER FOREIGN COACHES TO LOCAL ONES – PINNICK
Read Time:43 Second
Former president, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Melvin Pinnick has revealed his preference for expatriate coaches.
Pinnick appointed Franco-German, Gernot Rohr to manage the Super Eagles for the majority of his reign in charge of the Super Eagles.
American tactician, Randy Waldrum also took charge of the country’s women’s national team, Super Falcons.
Pinnick, who is currently a FIFA council member, said his reason for being averse to indigenous coaches stemmed from lack of respect for them by the players.
“Yes, the Nigerian coaches have the requisite knowledge and the technical ability, but modern football is beyond that in managing players.
“Will the national team players respect the coach? The sad thing is that they don’t,” he said in an interview on Arise TV.
The NFF is still hunting for a foreign coach to tinker with the Super Eagles.
