Ex Nigeria Football Federation board member, John Fashanu does not like Gernot Rohr’s Super Eagles.
According to him, the German has only succeeded in building a weak team that is even finding it hard to dominate African football.
He believes Gernort has underachieved as coach and he makes matters worse by having no respect for home-based players.
His words, “I think Rohr has underachieved as the coach of Super Eagles. What has he achieved, what has he won? That team is certainly not good enough to dominate African football. We still have a lot of work to do to be the best in Africa. For now, we don’t have a team yet,”
“At the moment, this is one of the lowest times I have seen of the Super Eagles. I am sorry to say that, but I am not excited about the team now and I feel the coach is not doing enough with domestic players. Rohr should stay in Nigeria and develop our league players.”
“Rohr should work on our domestic players and stop complaining. Part of his resume I guess must include developing local talents and coaches,”
“He should emulate what the late Stephen Keshi did with domestic league players before going ahead to win the Afcon in South Africa in 2013. I urge the NFF to caution him about his utterances and get him to work on home-based players.
“He should take charge of the home-based Eagles and groom them for the main team. It’s a shame that we could not qualify for Chan and Wafu competitions meant for home-based African players. Rohr needs to step up his game.”
