lars lagarback and shuaibu amodu, same errors
i must confess that up till January 2010, i had and retained high respect and regards for shuaibu amodu as a coach. i was among the very few nigerians who insisted that he should be allowed to take nigeria to both the nations and world cups in 2010. and i wrote and published articles in some publications (off-line) to that effect (i have some copies in print for the records if required). of course, i still believe it was wrong to have sacked amodu after the nations cup. but it remains a hugely debatable issue. but i must confess that the way amodu executed the nations cup was a total shame. it made him look like indeed he was not good enough for the job. lars largaback proved to be no better. but there are lessons for every one who is a stakeholder in nigerian football, especially for the new coach coming. the articles in this blog were written in December 2009. with the benefit of hindsight, we can learn some valuable lessons! this blog was published in October 2010.
