Should SE Coach Finidi Pick His Own Assistant or Should The NFF Pick An Assistant For Him?

Why are we getting mixed signals from the Glass House?

An NFF Official, who spoke under conditions of anonymity, said to one reputable media outlet that: "Finidi will choose his own assistants; He wants to work with those who will add real value to what he is doing and, of course, he also wants to work with people who will be loyal and not those who he cannot trust."

That being the case, why are other media outlets reporting that the NFF is shortlist candidates for the Assistant Coach to Finidi?

In any case, the names being brandished around - Amuneke, Amokachi and Nsien - are obdurate personalities in their own rights. Will Finidi be able to tame their excesses?

Also, these people actually wanted the top job so, going by human nature, they might still harbour a level of animosity for missing out.

The rumours making the rounds is that Finidi intends to build a loyal team management team around him whom will all tend to be on the same page.

Media outlets are suggesting that he will elect for a foreign assistant whose counsel he will seek and be willing to listen to.

This augurs well, in my opinion, for his prospect of making a success of his assignment.
