Former Eagles winger, Adegoke Adelabu,believes it would now be difficult for the Nigeria Football Federation to hand the Super Eagles’ coaching job to an indigenous coach.
Former Sports Minister, Sunday Dare, and some Nigerians ‘arm twisted’ former NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, to do away with Coach Gernot Rohr on the ground that his team was not playing satisfactory football. It paved the way for homeboy, Austin Eguavoen, to take over the team. Nigeria got to the final and lost to the host nation and after the championship, the NFF and Peseiro parted ways.
Adelabu queried: “How many of the indigenous coaches are under the NFF’sperformance radar? There will always be players to play irrespective of who coaches them, but it will end up as usual because of lack of or inadequate succession planning.” League leaders, Enugu Rangers, believe they are on course to win the Nigerian Premier Football League title for the first time since they last took the crown in 2016.
