Finidi might be bad
But you can't make that determination in two matches
He has enviable football pedigree.
Finidi might be the worst coach in Africa
But if the NFF chose him after a thorough search
They should have given him an opportunity to fail or succeed
If Finidi were White and from Europe, they would have give him a lot more time
And about Osimhen
Some say Finidi provoked him
Finidi only said he couldn't beg Osimhen to play
Osimhen had called in injured
Finidi told him to enjoy his holidays
Finidi is an ex international
He knows when players don't want to play
Often players play with Injuries
When a coach feels a player is using an injury to stay away he can voice it out if his team loses
Mourinho does that
Ten Hag does that everyday
Klopp has done that
Many great coaches do that
Finidi didn't commit an abomination
He only said what he felt. It's a subjective inference
That Osimhen could have played despite his injuries claims if he was committed.
Simple
Finidi felt, that as a new coach, the best player in the team didn't give him the required support
A coach is allowed to feel that way in that circumstance and say it
That shouldn't warrant a player turning on his manger like a agbero
The coach is his boss
This coach played in the super eagles 30 whole years ago
That should make Osimhen, even if he felt maligned, to check his temper
And contain himself
Finidi didn't commit an abomination by voicing out his feelings as many coaches do when they aren't getting commitment from senior players and their clubs are losing easy matches.
No manager in Europe will watch that Osimhen rant today and not worry a bit before buying Osimhen.
Osimhen should know that big clubs are watching him closely now
