Nigeria Football Federation President Alhaji Aminu Maigari has charged Nigeria’s national teams’ coaches to key into the present NFF administration’s vision of zero-tolerance for age cheat.
Maigari gave the charge yesterday while declaring close the NFF-organized CAF ‘B’ License and ‘B Equivalent’ Coaching Course, which took place at the FIFA Technical Centre in Abuja.“Another issue that must be stressed here is the need for our coaches to imbibe the NFF’s vision of zero-tolerance for age cheating. We have decided that the days of win-at-all-cost is over, as the age-grade competitions are actually for developmental purposes, and will go all the way to ensure that players who feature for our junior teams are surely within the age bracket they play for”, said Maigari.
Speaking further, Maigari dismissed the notion that the Federation does not respect indigenous coaches, but called on Nigerian coaches to intensify efforts to improve themselves.
“The successful completion to this CAF ‘B’ License Coaching Course could not have been achieved without the valuable contributions of our revered Technical Consultant, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde, as well as our own highly respected and gifted technicians, namely Chief (Dr) Kashimawo Laloko, ‘Professor’ Monday Sinclair and Coaches James Peters and Amodu Shaibu.
“I will like to utilize this forum to dispel the notion that the Nigeria Football Federation does not respect our indigenous Coaches.
“This is definitely not the case. We have no reason whatsoever to hold indigenous coaches in disdain. Indigenous coaches, right from the time of the great Dan Anyiam, have done so much to bring honour to our country, and have worked assiduously and tirelessly to improve the lot of the coaching profession in our dear nation.
“At the recent public hearing held by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the downward trends in Nigeria sports generally and football in particular, one of the factors held responsible was the inadequacies of our indigenous coaches. Our coaches are not doing enough to improve themselves, and in a coaching profession where methods and tactics improve on a daily basis, this is not good enough,” Maigari stated.
