Agali is Eagles’ chief scout for Russia 2018

OKOGBA 
21 NOV 2017


Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has listed former striker, Victor Agali as his chief scout going to the 2018 FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia.



Rohr who guided the Super Eagles to a highly successful qualification campaign told Nice news outlet Nice-Martin that Agali’s contribution to the campaign was priceless, hence his decision to retain him for the World Cup.

Agali worked with Rohr throughout the qualifiers in the capacity of scouting opposition teams and helping identify Nigerian players abroad.

Agali played under Rohr at French side OGC Nice in the 2004-2005 season, scoring six goals in 30 appearances.

It is understood that Rohr is looking at the possibilities of engaging more ex-internationals to enable him build a formidable team for the country ahead of the World Cup in Russia 2018.

Victor Agali and Yakubu Aiyegbeni played for Nigeria at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. They both graduated to the Super Eagles and were instrumental in Nigeria's qualification for the 2002 World Cup in Japan and Korea and the 2002 Nations Cup in Mali.

Victor Agali scored a string of headed goals to become our highest goal scorer in the qualifiers. He scored 2 goals against Sudan, 1 against Liberia and 1 against Ghana in the qualifiers in Port Harcourt.

However Nigeria performed below the expectations of their fans at the Nations Cup in Mali. Agali didn't score any goal. Some blamed him while others blamed Coach Amodu Shuiabu for failing to use the wings to supply crosses for Agali to head in.

The poor performance and players' revolt led to the disbandment of the team. Agali and Aiyegbeni, who had helped Nigeria to qualify for the World Cup, were dropped from the World Cup team.

Agali refused to return to the team after the World Cup, while Aiyegbeni never gave his all to the team again.

Agali's job is to monitor Super Eagles' opponents (watch their matches, etc) and to find new players for the team.

Later they will swear at Tammy Abraham for not answering the nation's call or whatever bullshit they call it.

If i was a Nigerian and a professional footballer, i would rather choose to play for Madagascar.

Why do people hate Oliseh?

Always the FA has issues with coaches even the late Keshi.

They had issues with Amodu Shuaib who lost only one game as manager yet was sacked, all the foreign coaches even up to Westerhorf were at loggerheads with the FA.

Oliseh has gone to the Netherlands now and can be seen to be performing.

Your choice.

We all know Tammy would be dropped from the world cup team except there are massive injuries to strikers - Kane, Vardy, Rashford, Sturridge even Welbeck.

When the time comes we would see Wilson and maybe even Defoe getting on the flight to Russia.

Only then would Tammy realise he was just training material.

That is not one on one, is one on zero because he had no one to dribble but net. I can't forget what the commentator said "is harder to miss that chance than to score it" mean u put more effort to lose it.

So even when you are under performing they should still pick him up cause he scored in the qualifiers. It doesn't augur well.
