Managing a U21 Generation: a growing experience
Do you know how Nigeria U21 staff is organized? Have you ever wondered what exactly U21 Staff do in order to create the best U21 team? Or have you always thought that whoever gets elected starts from scratch?
In this press I am sharing with you my view based on my experience of the last three years.I am Arka669
(13744434) and I am part of the U21 Nigeria staff, I am now in charge of managing GEN38. You can find some information about me on my manager page, let's just say here that I am very much attached to Nigeria as my lovely wife is Nigerian Edo, and so half of my family is Nigerian...well much more of half in truth! More like nine tenth of it 😉🤣
In the following I will try to share with you what it means to manage a NT U21 generation, how much work and time is required, how much commitment is needed and generally speaking how Nigeria U21 actually obtained the recent above average results.
First of all I want to say that what follows is my point of view. I think it is more or less shared by many fellow NT (U21 and National Team) but is very much influenced by my role in the U21 team and my personal view on it.
I opened my team in Nigeria the 23 December 2021, and started cooperating with Nigeria U21 NT staff in January 2022, working as U17 Scout. Working with the Head Scout U17 Yurc3
(13666633). I learned how to discover U17 players, how to search for them in the Rate My Academy site and on hattrick itself using the available queries.
I enjoyed the task very much and soon I needed more involvement, so I agreed to start an “alternative” commentary of the Continental Cup tournament focusing on Luck, which as we know is always an important factor in the game. If you are interested you can find some here
(17484740.85). Later on I was offered the opportunity to manage GEN38 players, together with Camortiscia
(6081725). In January 2023 when the players were about to be born I began my work as U21 GEN38 responsible.

An Interlocution with a Nigerian Luminary
If we could physically share a room. I imagine sitting across an intelligent and perceptive manager. One with a great sense of humor. We may probably be sharing a cup of N*scafé. While we wait for the camera man to set up the lighting. In case you don't know who i refer to. I will let the interview do the introduction. This is a manager who has chiseled his name in the history of the Nigerian series system.

The Youth Academy - A Guide
This guide is intended to provide just а few basic pointers to help you when first you start a youth academy. In a smaller nation like Nigeria, every talent produced can make a difference so even a youngster with double inadequate skill set could be trained to become a U20/NT to help Nigeria.
Some managers have claimed that there is "no sense in starting an academy, because there's no financial benefit from it." However, 20 000 Euro expenses per week is affordable, even if you're starting a new team (I'm saying this with the idea that you are able to look after the team finances). Often, managers can think "oh, no, I've been pulling disastrous-weak players every week for two seasons, why I am even bothering?" All it takes though is just one star player to compensate for the expense involved in previous seasons.
Overall, with good planning and a little luck, one can achieve much through running an academy, and you will certainly be helping Nigeria. On top of this, you will enjoy the thrill when you see your kid reveal solid/excellent potential or when he has the "proper" specialty for his position ... or perhaps even when he one day puts on the Nigeria national shirt! ;)
