Hmm. Mark my word. It might be difficult for Nigeria to qualify to the World Cup or do very well at the Nations Cup. The team has much deficiency which the Coach refuses to work on. For example, must OZOHO be in goal for Nigeria, the guy is not good at all. Look at the cheap free kick he conceded against Zimbabwe. Also, the team lacks holding midfielder while the strikers lack coordination.
the coach is tactically deficient, he has nothing to offer . watch out .
