Oliseh, Amunike and Egbo are better than Gernot Rohr – Amokachi

Former Super Eagles player and assistant coach, Daniel
Amokachi says Nigeria is blessed with good coaches who are more
qualified to lead the national team than Gernot Rohr.

Amokachi made this known in chat with brila.net on the future of
current Super Eagles handler Gernot Rohr and possible replacement,
should the Nigeria Football Federation decide to fire him,
following the recent unimpressive performances.

The former Everton and Club Brugge attacker stated that Sunday
Oliseh, Emmanuel Amuneke, and Ndubuisi Egbo are some of the
Nigerian coaches who are more qualified and deserved to lead the
national team than the Franco-German tactician.

“We have people like Sunday Oliseh, Emmanuel Amuneke, Ndubuisi
Egbo, so no way someone can tell me they aren’t better than Gernot
Rohr.” He told brila.net.

“Which of Nigerian coaches that I mentioned that was given more
than six months? , but this person (Rohr) they gave him five
years.”

“Oliseh and Amuneke were given less than six months and they are
more qualified than Gernot Rohr.”

“We can’t keep supporting pieces of machinery that comes into
Africa and then they are good coaches.” He said.

Rohr’s future became a topic in the media after his team failed
to win any of their four matches in 2020, including a disappointing
4 – 4 draw against Sierra Leone in Benin-City last Friday.

When asked if it’s time the Nigeria Football Federation replaces
former Gabon and Niger boss with an indigenous coach, Amokachi said
where the coach is from does not matter, but he has to be qualified
for the position.

“Does it really matter where a coach comes from?, for me I don’t
believe in that, but if you are bringing in a coach, he has to be
the right person for the job,” he stressed further.

“If we have indigenous coaches who have the capacity, why not,
but that a coach has to be a Nigerian, English German and so on
does not matter,”

“However if you are bringing a foreigner and have to give him
all that money?  he has to be a good one,” he added.

Rohr was contracted in 2016 as a replacement for Sunday Oliseh
but he signed an extension that will keep him in the position until
after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
