Iwobi, Ekong, Bassey, Aina, and Ndidi have served well.
Do we have better replacements for these players you have listed?
if you do not have a better replacement for a sh1t footballer like Ekong, who is now playing in a retirement league, then we deserve to never play WC ever again.

A guy is sitting in Auxere, watching us play on TV, while a sh1t footballer whose best days were at Watford is wearing the captains armband. disgusting

3) Playing in Europe doesn’t mean a whole lot in the African context

4) Our defense needs a drastic overhaul

5) Eric Chelle is obviously not it. Finidi George should have been allowed to try and salvage his bad start

I think its time we rebuild this team and look for new players! We have had 4 coaches in the last 2 years but still use the same old under performing players and expect change. We need to rebuild our team with intelligent and hungry players like Osimhen, in fact, it doesn't even matter where they play. I just don't understand why we have to stick to the same unproductive clueless wingers.
It’s not about the number of coaches but the quality of the coaches. If you keep on recruiting poor coaches, you will get the same result. It’s not rocket science.

Rohr who was a pretty average coach never failed to qualify for tournaments. But look at those we’ve replaced him with. I had high hopes for Finidi but he failed his exam. He was out of his depth. Eguavoen is old school with glaring inadequacies. Peseiro is a poor coach. We are not serious enough about winning matches and qualifying for tournaments.

GK - in South Africa
RB - in Turkey - Benchwarmer
RCB - Saudi arabia - retirement
LCB - Fulham
LB - Nottingham Forrest
DM - Leicester - relegation fighter
RCM - Milan - 6th choice for 9th placed team
LCM - Fulham
AM - France - Relegation fighter
ST - Turkey
ST - Atalanta

I am sorry, but look at the list up and tell me what is so "Europe" about it. Most of our players play for either mid table clubs, are fighting relegation or are in retirement leagues.
Interesting. Gone are the days when Naija lineup will be: Juventus, Inter, PSG, Everton, Arsenal, Real madrid etc
Naija is finished.
Nwabali -- Aina, Bassey, TroostEkong, Sanusi --- Chukwueze, Aribo, Ndidi, Iwobi --- Osimhem, Sadiq Umar

… and the great Eric Chelle is your solution? The Rohr you’re hyping just got tattooed by South Africa. Foreign coaches are not the answer and have never been. You guys should come to the realization that Nigeria’s national interests outweigh your personal agendas🤔❗️

Read my posts on Chelle. I said it on Friday that I was not impressed.

And it’s not about foreign or local coaches. Just do your own work and get the right coach.

Meanwhile. It was foreign coaches that led their teams to draws in Nigeria (South Africa, Zimbabwe) and a loss in Abidjan (Benin), against your African coaches.
