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.

"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.
I am not sure that cohesion is in the Nigeria football setup, from top to the bottom, that the coaches have clear understanding of what the coach want from the bottom and everyone playing in the same version and with the developing players to be ready to play in the senior national team.
Coach Nsien is among the coaches that have applied for the vacant Flying Eagles job and affirm his readiness to lead Nigeria to glory if given a chance to lead the team.
"If I was the head coach or Assistant, one of the first things I will do is to try to get everyone on the same page, all the coaches will sit down and meet, discuss with the technical director or whoever is in control and get a clear responsibility to identify what we want to get out of each age-group team, our expectations and how we plan to achieve the expectations.
"We know we can win the World Cup if the players have the discipline and get a proper transition through the age grades.
"I will focus on getting the coaches together on same page and executing the strategy together, with a unique style,” he said
FC Tulsa which parades Mfon Udoh and Solomon Kwambe are currently unbeaten in the U.S.L Championship with 2 wins and 3 draws and are in line for a championship playoff.
