Kick Off - Nigeria

BUT:
The Nigeria Football Association have backed down from naming a replacement for Berti Vogts, instead the board have named James Peters, the head of their Technical Department to 'oversee matters of the national senior team'.

Reading a communique following an NFA Board meeting on Thursday, Technical Committee chairman Taiwo Ogunjobi stated that

"The Technical Committee's report is not ready and James Peters, Assistant Secretary General (Technical) in the NFA will, in the interim, oversee matters of the national senior team."

Peters' will oversee the Super Eagles for at least the next one month, when a substantive coach is expected to be picked from the four recommended to the board by its Technical Committee.

The board did make appointments for the Under 17 and Under 20 national teams.

Former Enyimba coach Alphonsus Dike was appointed to head the Under 17 team. He will be assisted by Manu Garba and Yisa Sofoluwe.

For the Under 20s, Isa Ladan Bosso was retained. Ben Iroha was moved up to assist him along with Salisu Abubakar.

Keshi because of his experience and he took a very average Togo team to the world cup.It would be nice to have both but it wouldn't work as they look like 2 strong personalities..may the best man win way to go...Egypt always have and keep winning Nigeria really should be setting a good example empowering and accentuatiing African culture...enough of the colo-mentality
