Minister of Youths and Sports Development, Sunday Dare is unconvinced by Gernot Rohr’s ability to lead the Super Eagles after the shambolic performances in the 2022 Afcon qualifiers double-header against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone.
Rohr led the Super Eagles to an embarrassing 4-4 draw against Sierra Leone at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin, where the team surrendered a 4-0 lead, they also failed to win in the second leg in Freetown playing out a goalless draw.
The results have led to an outcry from Nigerian football followers with many calling for the sack of the coach, Gernot Rohr.
Sunday Dare apologized to Nigerians and promised that the needful will be done as regards the future of Gernot Rohr.
“The performance of the Super Eagles from their last two matches calls into question the suitability and competences of technical adviser, Rohr. Nigerian football deserves better. The needful will be done. Apologies to all football lovers,” Dare tweeted.
Nigeria is in pole position to qualify for the 2022 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon with eight points from four games, one point clear of second-placed Benin Republic in Group L.
The Super Eagles failed to win any of their four games in 2020, drawing three and losing one.
