As Super Eagles Hunt For Fourth AFCON Title In Cameroon

Rohr, despite qualifying Nigeria for 2021 AFCON and Qatar 2022 World Cup play-offs, was fired as the Super Eagles under him had become insipid in their displays of late.In the considered opinion of this newspaper, Nigeria deserves a better national team given the abundance of talents at the coach’s disposal, but with Super Eagles preparing for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations, NFF’s decision on Rohr was an invitation to failure.

However, announcing a new substantive coach for the Eagles, Portuguese Jose Peseiro, in the run-up to the African championship is unwise and could cause distraction and disaffection. Nigerian football has continued to be the victim of NFF’s administrative ineptitude. The football house could have allowed Rohr to lead the team to AFCON and remove him afterwards, or wait until after the tournament to announce his successor.

Musa, while disclosing this at a press conference on Tuesday, was, however, quick to assure that bonuses and allowances would not be a big issue at the AFCON tournament in Cameroon. We hope so.
