Former Super Eagles Star Lambasts Nigeria Football Federation Officials Over ‘Wrong Coaches and Players’

• Daniel Amokachi is utterly disappointed with the Super Eagles’ performance during their international friendly against Portugal
• Nigerian players failed to hold their own as they lost embarrassingly to the World Cup-bound Selecao
• Amokachi stated that the new low of the national team can be attributed to the appointment of wrong coaches

A former Nigerian international, Daniel Amokachi, has lambasted the Nigerian Football Federation as he rallies support for Coach Jose Peseiro.

‘The Bull’ was particularly disappointed by the Super Eagles following their embarrassing 4-0 loss to World Cup-bound Portugal in an international friendly.

Amokachi attributed the Super Eagles' current woes to the wrong coaches' appointment to handle the team.

In May, the NFF appointed Portuguese tactician Peseiro, and since he took charge of the squad, they have failed to win a game.

In a recent interview with Channels Television, Amokachi admitted that it would be too early to sack the tactician but added that Peseiro should be provided with help wherever he needs it.

He said, as per Complete Sports:

“When you look at the Portugal game, that tells you that we don’t even deserve to be there (World Cup).

“There are one two three different angles that you have to look at it, bringing in the right coach, bringing in the right players and get the right environment to play at.

“We always bring the wrong coaches to handle country like Nigeria; we always bring the wrong players.”

Rohr blasts Pinnick over Rohr’s World Cup debacle

Sports Brief earlier reported that former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has lashed out at the ex-Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick over Nigeria's failure to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.

Rohr had led the team to the final round of the World Cup qualifiers, but the Franco-German tactician was fired on the eve of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

Rohr has been left embittered at the situation, with the tactician once again maintaining that Pinnick caused the World Cup debacle for Nigeria.
