The Nigerian national teams across all age groups and genders have not recently impressed the nation or given football fans something to rejoice about.

The former Aspire Academi coach complimented the potential of Nigerians but said that the national football association must work on the proper methods to get the most performance out of them.

“When I was a coach at the Aspire Academy, we had about 7 to 10 Nigerian players every year. They are skilful, fast and very talented. Nigeria just need to work with their players in the right way, in order to get the right results in the future.” Salio said, as reported by Teamnigeriauk.
