One fundamental reason why the Nigerian national team in my opinion performed below expectation at the concluded Africa Nations Cup was because the Nigerian Football Federation and the coaches in particular failed to see the competition beyond participation.
The truth is Nigerians know we will never win the World Cup even with five Guus Hiddinks, but are sure to see the emergence of a good team even in South Africa with a good European coach.
it is better to go to South Africa with a bunch that is younger than what we saw in Angola, expose them and allow them to experience a 'baptism' with 2012 Nations Cup and 2014 World Cup in mind. And the best way to get that done is to engage a good coach from abroad because they have proven to be the only ones to explore all avenues to arrive at a good team.
Good luck Nigeria.
