As Nigerians continue to rue the failure of the Super Eagles to qualify for Qatar 2022, a former technical adviser of the team, Gernot Rohr, has revealed that his target was to reach the World Cup and lead the team to the quarter-finals.

Rohr, who was sacked last year by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) just before the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, was at the helm of affairs for the national team for five years.

"We had all the hope that Nigeria would qualify and I believe that the better players are in Nigeria not in Ghana. But sometimes the collective work of a team can be stronger than the individual strength of the other team.

"My target was to go to the World Cup in Qatar and to go at least to the quarter-final and also to have a good image of Nigerian football like we had in the last five years.

"Now I see in the newspapers, the pictures of what happened after the match in Abuja and it is not good for the image of Nigerian football and of all the country.

"So, yes, I hope that Nigeria will come back and the young players we have will fight together again and write a better page in the future for Nigerian football," he stated in a statement.

I believe he would’ve qualified Nigeria as he understood what their strengths and weaknesses were and relied on team chemistry no matter how ugly it looked.
The yes man Eguavoen did play for the fans hence his decision to start a very important game with a lot of kids that were not used the African game all at once,Eguavoen also let governors control the locker room to appease the NFF who of cause loved it as they could hang out with the players anytime they wished and in the end they got phuked!

Personally. Rohr is done with Nigeria. Nigeria need to go back to the Drawing Board to build A Football Culture of grooming Talents. Then come back out to conquer the world. If not goodluck to bad rubish. Coach is not ya problem. Ofcourse you call players who do not even know they can still play. Commical bunch.

Clickbait as usual, the article header does not match what he said...

Truer words have not been said...

But sometimes the collective work of a team can be stronger than the individual strength of the other team.

but no, you people should keep on braying about this player needs to be called and this player needs to be dropped...

Maybe he meant he would've taken Nigeria to the Qatar world cup finals, not world cup quarter finals.

Gotta give it to the basT4rd!! he knows what to say to get the natives jumping in the plantation. B4sT4rd went to the world cup and got knocked out in the first round, but thinks the natives are stupp11d enough to believe he will go to another world cup and take us to the promised land. Ehhh thank you, Moses.
