Former Chairman of the NFF’s technical committee
Christopher Green has said that the Golden Eaglet’s coach should
not be as old as the current handler, Fatai Amoo. Green in
a chat with www brila.net exclusively revealed that the
modern terrain in appointment of coaches of the under age groups
have changed, clubs don’t appoint managers above sixty years this
days, they’d rather go for coaches in their thirties and most
especially from teams ranging from the U15 to the U 17 national
teams. “Its a bottom to the top approach, what do I mean by that,
first from the U15, we should have people that are knowledgeable to
take care of that department straight to the U17 – you don’t
appoint a coach because you know them or you have their
contacts, you like them! ”Look at the past two handlers of the
team, they both helped us now we are shouting Amoo, Amoo, Amoo,
when last did Amoo coach up to this level and how old is he ?
Green asked,” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle

difficult to see a coach up to sixty years even in the clubs now,
most of the coaches in that age group are on their way out but
then, they make up for experiences and training as a trainers as
the case may be. “In our own case here, we don’t have some of them
on that age range training as a trainers having the composite
exposures and you get them into the national team and you expects
them to perform?! Its not possible.” he said.
