Daniel Amokachi, a former international, blasted the Super Eagles after their embarrassing defeat to Portugal last week.
The team's performance was poor, according to Amokachi, the African Cup of Nations champion from 1994, and further proof that they did not deserve to be one of the top 32 nations in Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
“When you look at the Portugal game, that tells you that we don’t even deserve to be there (World Cup). It was poor by all standards,” he said on Channels TV.
As President Muhammadu Buhari's Senior Special Adviser on Football Matters, Amokachi has questioned the appointment of Jose Peseiro as head coach.
Since taking over from the fired Gernot Rohr, Peseiro has failed to record a victory against a formidable opponent.
“There are one two three different angles that you have to look at it, bringing in the right coach, bringing in the right players and get the right environment to play at.”
On Sunday, Amokachi observed on Channels Television, “We always bring the wrong coaches to handle countries like Nigeria; we always bring the wrong players.”
