Like the Biblical Paul, Aigbogun Set for Second Missionary Journey as Flying Eagles Chief Coach

Like the biblical Paul who went on three missionary journeys preaching the gospel and performing miracles, another Paul is set to embark on his second missionary journey as Flying Eagles chief coach.
Adjudged the best National team coach in 2019 due to his sterling performances with the Under 20 National team that saw Nigeria make it to the last 16 of the 2019 FIFA Under 20 world cup in Poland and a Silver winning exploit at the All Africa games in Egypt, Paul is the man looking good to get the job again Blessed with UEFA A' Licence certificate, the former Warri Wolves and Enyimba FC chief coach is currently in the United kingdom undergoing intensive coaching from some of the world's best coaches as the Covid-19 pandermic persists. He has travelled from London to Ireland and lately Scotland to beef up his credentials A top official of the NFF told this reporter that Paul is top on a list of four and is looking good for the job. According to him, Paul Aigbogun has done well for himself after the U20 World cup in Poland. I understand that a few persons are not happy with his team's performance in Poland but he remedied the situation with a fine showing in Egypt during the All African Games. I am not his fan but from what I hear and based on the list of those who applied for the Flying Eagles job, he stands out interms of credentials and exposure. Remember, this is not entirely the NFF's decision to make. I am not saying we can't make some inputs but the decision is that of Prime Water company (PWC). We have given them the authority to act on our behalf. They are seriously scrutinising all the applications on their table and will come out with the best names in the coming days. I understand why many are saying Paul will get it because from the list of coaches that have appled for the U20 job, he stands out. All I can say for now, is that everyone should stay calm with fingers crossed, a definite decision will be made that will be in the best interest of Nigerians he concluded. Five of Paul Aigbogun's discoveries from the last FIFA world cup have gone on to sign improved contracts with top European clubs.

$300,000 Browns Nigeria Donation: Transparency Questions Trail Flag Football Leadership in Nigeria.

Fresh concerns have emerged within Nigeria’s flag football community following reports that the Cleveland Browns, through their Browns Nigeria initiative, allegedly donated up to $300,000 to support the sport’s development in the country, alongside additional monetary contributions and equipment support including footballs, flags, and cleats from some NFL players. Rather than inspiring confidence, the alleged donations has raised serious questions about governance, accountability, and control within Nigeria’s flag football structure. Stakeholders are asking: Does the funding truly exist? How was it managed? Who supervised its allocation? And why is there increasing tension among Browns Nigeria officials over control of the sport? Observers believe the fierce struggle for dominance may be linked to the influence such a large financial contribution would command. More troubling, however, is the absence of official clarification. All efforts to reach Browns Nigeria officials for confirmat...

Nigeria need to adopt symmetry approach across the national teams- coach Michael Nsien

Former Nigerian youth International Michael Nsien has highlighted the need for Nigeria to adopt a uniform pattern across the National teams for smooth transition of players and to achieve a visible success. Speaking to journalists on NSM from his base in the USA, Coach Nsien who is the head coach of FC Tulsa in the US Division two League maintained that the u-17 and u-20 teams should be a conduit for the senior national team. Micheal Nsien, FC Tulsa Head coach "The youth teams is meant to be that way (a conduit for the senior national team). You have to have culture that buys in or accept a job based on that quality of transition. My intention are to be successful and to win games 100% but also, how do we transition players to the senior national team base on our principle, our style of play, the discipline line that we want to play within and our playing methodology.
