Former Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has urged the sports ministry to probe the Nigerian Football Federation for Super Eagles’ inability to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The Eagles were eliminated on the away goals rule following a 1-1 draw with Ghana in Abuja in the second leg of their play-off on Tuesday.
The 68-year-old who was disengaged by the NFF last December in an acrimonious circumstance after a record-setting five years, four months, and 10 days in charge of the three times African champions also queried why he was sacked last December.
He was replaced by Austin Eguavoen who recorded four wins (against Coton Sports Garoua, Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea Bissau), two draws (against Ghana in the World Cup playoff), and a defeat (to Tunisia at the 2021 AFCON round of 16) in the three months he was in charge of the team.
Prior to his sack, the Franco-German qualified the Eagles for the 2018 World Cup in Russia as well two consecutive Africa Cup of Nations in 2019 Egypt and 2021 Cameroon respectively.
Rohr expressed his disappointment that the team (Eagles) could not qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, urging the sports ministry to probe the Nigerian Football Federation
