It is so easy to blame the coach for other peoples' ineptness. To the best of my knowledge, there is nothing wrong with the Nigerian coach, but there is everything wrong with football management in Nigeria. I am on record as having wrirren a few times about the dicline of Niigerian football, but I have yet to see any tangible evidence that what I said has been taken seriosuly.



The current team is nowhere as good as the team that beat Brazil to win the Olympic gold. Then here has been a deliberate effort to bring up a world beating team. Once the results started coming. the football management sat back, to bask in the glory of a job well done. Problem is, they should have continued woith their efforts but did not.



The current Nigerian players are found in very weak leagues and teams. You find them in Israel, or Scotland etc. Or if in England, they are in the lower divisions. Imagine Kilmarnock playing against Barvelona, or Crystal playing against Bayern Munich



A team is as good as it's players. If you were to bring Ancellotti, or Mancini or Mauronho, or Sir Alex to Kenya, would Harambee starts be the best? Would they win the World Cup or the African Cup? That is where Nigeria is right now. And unless something is done fast, they will continue to decline further.
