Indications have surfaced that Eagles manager at the 2010 World Cup, Lars Lagerback might have walked away from his 200, 000 dollars (about N30.1m) a-month job.

The Swede flew back to his country after South Korea knocked out the Eagles on June 22. He went on a two weeks break according to Nigeria Football Federation officials, but the holiday period has passed over by a week, yet there is no word from Lagerback. His six months contract is due to expire this month.

It was gathered that Lagerback who promised Nigeria a semi-final ticket has not communicated to the NFF his next line of action even as the federation awaits the contract extension offer made to him,

Lagerback who was paid his salary up front during his short spell, had suggested in South Africa that Nigeria and indeed other African countries, should try home grown coaches if they are to succeed at the global soccer fiesta.

He recommended that Nwankwo Kanu should consider coaching adding that the Eagles captain will be an excellent coach for the Eagles.

Most of the foreign coaches who have coached Nigeria from the time westarnhof always run away, they always pay them upfront. It is only Bert Voghs that did not run away , his contract was terminated. These Oyinbo coaches always come to Nigeria to play us 419 .

mikeansy:

There is a reason no country has won the world cup with a Foreign Coach

supereagle:

What is the reason , pls inform us. African countries keep going after them.

1.) I don't think I'll understand why he was hired initially. What he did for Sweden should've been enough forboding. I didn't know Naija was into sloppy seconds.
2.) He "turned" his back on Eagles when he didn't play Odemwingie like he should've, didn't use Utaka, and [size=18pt]expected a miracle from Kanu against S. Korea.[/size]
He's doing us a favor.

Okija_juju:

Are you saying playing Kanu was a bad idea?!

Please explain. thank you.

ogugua88:

When did I say it was a bad idea? lol. Should he have waited until S. Korea to play Kanu? Emphatic no. With Kanu playing, we probably could've drawn Argentina at the least. The Argies were far from impressive that day. [size=14pt]Lagerback had no clue about the squad he had in front of him.[/size]

kanu ko kuni ni. yes kanu was a totally bad idea, the guy is a disgracefull how can a good goal scorer martins and osaze be on the bench while 2 useless old fat disgracefull fools like kanu and yakubu be on the pitch. if kanu had played against argentina it would have been minus 2, because yakubu was already minus 1. now that old nicompu has denied quitting naija team useless igbo idoit

ogugua88:

Kanu should look into it to be honest, he mentioned it's something he'd consider.

Seriously, I would rather prefer Okocha.

Kanu is too soft and he doesn't look like someone that's strict enough to coach the Super Eagles.
