PHOTO:I quit if my request for a foreign coach is not taken seriously! – Pinnick...job no dey oh! think well oh!LOL
The NFF president
Pinnick has threatened to quit, if his request for a foreign coach for the
Super Eagles is not taken seriously.
But wait o, is Pinnick not supposed to be
apologizing
to Nigerians and tell us what went wrong in Egypt, and why Nigeria the
largest black nation on earth, and giant (LOL) of Africa wont be flying her
colours in the next edition of the AFCON, rather than disturbing our ears with ‘foreign
coach’ what is even foreign in a coach sef??
”There is nothing
to worry about the payment of salary for the foreign manager. His wages is
going to be taken care of by the private sector. We’ve concluded that and it
will not cost Government anything”.
Pinnick came under
severe attacks from Nigerians the first time he muted the idea of a foreign
coach after former Manager, Sunday Oliseh quit.
The attack from prominent
Nigerians and indigenous coaches was much that many condemned Pinnick for
trying to distract interim coach Samson Siasia who needed encouragement as he
prepared for the first match against the Pharaohs of Egypt.
But after watching
the Eagles succumb 1-0 to Egypt, a defeat that practically knocked off Nigeria
from the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations even with a match to go, Pinnick said that
there was no going back on the employment of foreign manager for the Eagles.
”I feel saddened
that we could not get a favourable result from here.
But, we remain proud of
this team. From what we have seen in their display, there is hope for Nigerian
football. We’re going to get a foreign manager for the team. And we are going
to ensure that Nigeria qualify for the World Cup and do exceedingly well, too.
We’ll make them utilize all FIFA windows to play quality friendly matches.
But, I must also
commend the services of coach Samson Siasia who has shown his capacity in
putting up a team we are all proud of. Siasia will go back to his U-23 team and
prepare a team that will win Olympic gold for Nigeria. We’ll give him all the
necessary tools he needs to achieve that. I commend him”,
Pinnick said as the
Nigerian delegation headed to the Alexandria airport for the return journey to
Nigeria. However, while addressing journalists in Abuja, the NFF President
described as unfair calls for him to quit after Nigeria failed to qualify for
next year’s Nations Cup in Gabon.
”It’s very unfair for people to ask me to
resign. I was elected by the Congress and I’ll see off my mandate. Our Board
has won Africa Women’s Championship in Namibia, FIFA U-17 and we’ve qualified
for almost all major competitions during this period.”
Pinnick also tendered an unreserved apology to Nigerians for their failure to qualify but insisted that there was hope on the team and promised a World Cup ticket as well as making Nigerians to walk with their noses in front at the World Cup and the Rio Olympics
