The newly contracted Technical Adviser to Sharks FC, Augustine Eguavoen no doubt has the pedigree to take Sharks to a greater height all things being equal.
Eguavoen has won a title with Emyimba football club of Aba at the club level, at the national level too he has won bronze medal for Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations owing to these flashy records the Rivers State government contracted the top flight coach, as to give Sharks her first national football silverware.
Coach Eguavoen on his part has stated that he wants to be part of history as the man who will secure for Sharks her first win in the Nigeria Premier League title or the Nigeria Football Association football cup (FA cup).
All things being equal, he may success if certain factors will be put right for example players salaries, allowances, match bonuses and sign on fees, areaboys syndrome at the stadium, amongst several other interferences.
The outside interference too would have to be curtailed. Players sent to the coach from stakeholders should be screened by the coach accordingly before admitting them into the club, that is if they merit a place in the team.
The Newswriter Sports Desk gathered that some former militants have players they sent to be part of Sharks, and this has been going on for the past seasons. Even as the new football season is about to commence, the militants have sent their players to be part of Sharks.
The Sports Commissioner should also be discreet in the manner he gets involved in technical issues. Stakeholders too should not put undue pressure on the technical Adviser while at the job.
The areaboys should as a matter of urgency not be allowed to watch Sharks trainings, as they had in most cases rain abuses for the players, on players that do miss ball or make faulty pass.###
