Look Deep Before Employing New Coach for Super Eagles, Nwosu Tells NFF

By By Victor Enyinnaya on April 18, 2022

Former midfield dynamo of the Super Eagles and 1980 Africa Cup of Nations victorious player, Henry Nwosu has urged the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to be cautious this time as it plans to employ another foreign coach for the Super Eagles.

In an exclusive telephone interview with Daily Sports from his Naze, Owerri country home, the ex-international added that it will BE great if NFF would look deeply in search of a foreign coach who has good track record that would turn around the Super Eagles fortunes which has gone drastically to the lowest ebb.

“It has reached this crucial stage where NFF must critically look outside the box and ensure that it hires experienced foreign coach with sound tracks records as that is the kind of handler the caliber of Super Eagles team needs presently. The mistake which was made the other time that threw up Gernot Rohr when other more qualified and exposed hands who would have clinched the job but was short changed by the powers that be, must be roundly avoided this time that the Nigerian side is like being on life support,” he appeals.

Nwosu said, the caliber of foreign hands who were recommended by the NFF technical and Developmental committee like the former French national and PSG coach, former FC Barcelona handler etc should be reached and brought in to coach the Eagles for good results.  He insisted that what the team needs now is high profile coach who would bring back the best from the boys.

“Eagles team is down, but not out yet and the only way out of that near collapse would be to bring in a technical hand who would command the respect from the boys and who the lads would feel comfortable with and work assiduously to rebuild the team in order to bring about confidence which would translate to winning ways. “I therefore appeal to NFF to go for the best. Nigeria can pay any foreign coach once such coach is interested on the Nigerian national team job,” Nwosu restated.

The former defunct New Nigerian Bank FC stressed that if the news making strong rounds points that the NFF looks favourably disposed to the Portuguese Jose Peseiro whose record in the public domain is most discouraging for a team like the Super Eagles which is on the crisis stage. He emphatically said that if NFF succumbs to employing the Portuguese it will then mean that another era of low quality and less qualified hand would head Super Eagles squad again just like the immediate pass Gernot Rohr Nigeria don’t need such anymore, he insisted.
