NFF claims they could have hired coach like Wenger or Mourinho

NFF president, Amaju Pinnick, has insisted that Stephen Keshi’s re-appointment as coach of the Super Eagles, was not a mistake.

Last week, Keshi signed a deal until 2018, to continue as Nigeria’s coach amid intense speculations.
Pinnick explained that the Big Boss, will be working with a Technical STudy Group headed by Jay Jay Okocha and ProZone match preparation software.

 

“We made no mistake in re-appointing Keshi. In his first term, Keshi did a lot to encourage the boys in the domestic League, and the boy who scored our winning goal at the Africa Cup of Nations, Sunday Mba, was playing in the domestic scene,” he told BBC’s Focus on Africa programme.

“We don’t live in the clouds. If we wanted a foreign Coach, we would probably go for someone in the class of Jose Mourinho or Arsene Wenger. We don’t have that money presently and we don’t want to be owing our Coach.”
Pinnick also added that the ProZone software, will be of great benefit to all the national teams and NFF officials are currently being trained in the UK to use it.

 

“In the past, we played matches blindly. We didn’t know enough about our opponents and we didn’t even know enough about our own players – their strengths and weaknesses. If we had the ProZone match preparation software before now, we probably would have beaten France and reached the quarter finals of last year’s FIFA World Cup in Brazil.”
