“We have a legion of ex-internationals qualified to handle the Super Eagles, like Emmanuel Amuneke, Sunday Oliseh, Finidi George, Emeka Ezeugo, etc.,” said Mr Jalla.
The ruling by FIFA added that the NFF would be sanctioned if Rohr was not paid in full within 45 days.
Mr Adesina said Nigerians were “silly, idiotic and imbecilic” for linking the Super Eagles exit to Mr Buhari’s call to the players.
Moses Simon says the tactics deployed by Mr Eguavoen has generally improved Super Eagles’ game.
“Some members of the NFF who have no knowledge of football always dictate what happens. You can’t know it more than the person who has played the game…”
Eguavoen will work with Salisu Yusuf (Chief Coach); Paul Aigbogun (Assistant Coach); Joseph Yobo (Assistant Coach); Dr Terry Eguaoje (Assistant Coach) and Aloysius Agu (Goalkeeper Trainer).
The politician says he does not consider Rohr to be a good coach and sees “no strategy” in his coaching style.
The minister said Rohr’s future with the Super Eagles will depend on a report to be submitted by the NFF in the coming days.
“Fans need to understand that they can’t win every match. Losing is also part of the game,” Eguavoen said.
“One can’t tell why the Nigeria Football Federation and president Amaju Pinnick are still holding onto Rohr. He should be sacked.”
