Ex international, Daniel Amokachi insists Gernot Rohr
isn’t the right coach to take the Super Eagles of Nigeria to the
next level.
Rohr came under increased pressure following the Super Eagles 4
– 4 and a goalless draw against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone in
the 2022 African Cup of Nations qualifying ties in Benin City and
Freetown respectively.
In Benin, The Franco-German tactician saw his team raced to a
four goals lead in 30 minutes, but the advantage evaporated after
the Leone Stars staged a stunning comeback.
While assessing Rohr’s time in charge of the Eagles, the
Atalanta 1996 Olympics gold medalists, said the former Gabon coach
has failed the challenge so far.
“The person in charge has been there for five years already but
there is nothing to write home about.” He told brila.net.
“Is he the right person to take the country forward, in my
opinion, I don’t think so, because five years is a lot a coach to
say he’s building a team and then, he can’t give you starting
eleven?”
“We have also seen some decisions that a right coach wouldn’t
have made and a coach that doesn’t take the backroom staffs along
end up having big problems.” He said.

Amokachi who once worked as Super Eagles assistant coach of the
Super Eagles twice also added that Rohr lack the ability to change
the game from the bench, due to a lack of good communication with
his back room staff.
“I saw in a lot of games that he doesn’t relate with the bench
in most of the time, we heard what happened in Benin that he just
wrote a note and gave to the team’s secretary and they made
substitutions and even some of the players were furious about it
and let their voice heard from the bench.”
“But then Nigerians know he’s not the right person to take
Nigerian football forward.” he concluded.
