Super Eagles do not deserve a place in Qatar - Amokachi

Ex international Daniel Amokachi has blasted the Super Eagles, following the embarrassing loss to Portugal last week.

Amokachi, 1994 African Cup of Nations winner stated that the performance was below standard and it was another proof that, the team deserved not to be among the best 32 countries currently 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 standard,” he said on Channels TV.

Amokachi who is a Senior Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Bauhari on football matters, also questioned the choice of Jose Peseiro as the head coach of the team.

Peseiro replaced sacked Gernot Rohr, and is yet to win against a strong opposition.

“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.

“We always bring the wrong coaches to handle country like Nigeria; we always bring the wrong players,” Amokachi said during a Channels Television broadcast on Sunday.
