AFCON 2023: I won’t be surprised if Super Eagles fail to perform – Ex-Falcons coach



A former Super Falcons coach, Godwin Izilein, has said that he would not be surprised if the Super Eagles failed to perform in the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, tournament coming up in Cote d’Ivoire.

Izilein who stated this in an interview with newsmen in Calabar, described the Eagles’ preparations as shoddy.

He also described as “undeserving” some of the players the team handlers invited for the tournament.


“Personally, with the calibre of some of the players invited and the nature of their preparation for the tournament, it will not surprise me if Nigeria fails to do well.

“Preparation and pre-tournament matches should have been grade A, but with what am seeing now, I am convinced that we are truly not ready for the coveted trophy that has eluded us for 11 years now.

“If anything good comes out, it will be cheering news,” he stated.

DAILY POST reports that Nigeria is grouped with the host country, Cote d’Ivoire, alongside Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau.

The Super Eagles will kick-off their group matches on January 14 against Equatorial Guinea.

He looks like a drunkard

Me too, our boys can disappoint person

Enough of the pessimism.
At least let's keep an open mind until after our opening match on Sunday.
