Hector Cuper Disappointed By Decision To Extend Rohr’s Contract As He Was Hoping To Succeed Him – Assistant Reveals

Former Valencia and coach of the national team of Egypt Hector Cuper was hoping to succeed the coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr if his contract extension with the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) had not gone according to plan.
Cuper according to his Egyptian assistant Mahmoud Ahmed was interested in the Super Eagles job and that of the national team of Ghana as he was still keen on working in Africa after his spell with Egypt.
The Argentine was however frustrated when the NFF agreed to a new deal with Rohr despite the fact that he was offered a pay cut beside other conditions that were not contained in his first deal. That move according to Mahmoud frustrated the coach as well as the decision of Ghana to award the job to an indigenous coach.
“Mr Cuper is ever ready to work in Africa with Nigeria and Ghana as countries of preference because of its abundant talents,” Mahmoud said as reported by Premium Times.

“We had hoped to land Ghana job but GFA decided to close its door on foreign coaches and settled for Charles Akunor. Our attention was shifted to Nigeria and we felt salary problem between Rohr and Nigeria might be a problem.
“But its looks impossible now that Nigeria have decided to extend Rohr’s contract,” Mahmoud concluded.[b]

I wonder why he should go to a mid-club in England, when he can play in a Champions league team in Belgium or Holland.

Although having said this the best team in Europe's top 5 league for him is Leicester.

solonnachi:



Please stop toying with our minds. Tomorrow your cousin will tell us you never said this, that you will definitely play for Nigeria

Arabiandude:
Personal Opinion!
I have watched matches and also watch best of YouTube clips of these Nigeria players and my conclusion is...
Ejuke dribbles better than Kalu, Onyekuru and Simon.
Ejuke has pace more than Kalu and Simon, he is on the same level with Onyekuru on this.
Ejuke shoots outside more than the other 3.
Ejuke have eyes for assist more than the other 3, just that most of his final passes are wasted by his teammates.
Simon, Onyekuru and Kalu seems more furnished than Ejuke.

Conclusion.. though Ejuke is playing for a lesser league compared to Kalu and Simon, but I believe we have a player like Sterling for the SE in the next few years. Just put him in a better club with a good coach, same way guardiola furnished Sterling and we will see a winger who will be contributing atleast 15 league goals a season. This same analogy applies to Chukwueze

It's not as simple as that.

There are many Championship teams that will pay more money and give you far more career progression than teams in the Belguim and Dutch leagues.

With regards to the Eredivisie take away Ajax and most would struggle in the Championship forget about EPL.

komekn:


Raheem was bought by Liverpool for near £2million are age 14 from QPR.

He was already leading the attack at Liverpool as an 18 year old before he went to City. He has as always progressed and he progressed under Guardiola.

Many a player get to big clubs and can't progress. To believe that at a time Jordan Ibe was competing with Raheem.

Now Ibe is a mere shadow of past glories albeit a very well paid one.

That proposition with regards to Chukwueze and Ejuke is optimistic speculation.

Danielnino00:


You overrate the championship..
Money is about the only thing the championship offers better than the leagues u mentioned there.. and maybe game time..

The championship is filled with average coaches who still play kick and rush football..that's why a lot of championship teams don't last in the EPL..

Any player looking to develop and improve himself shouldn't consider going to the championship or any second tier league unless he desperately needs game time...

Netherlands,France and Belgium have proven to be the best European leagues for young players to develop themselves

BascoVanVeli:


Simon Moses single handedly won the Belgium league. Please remind me what has Ejuke won again?

All three guys play in better leagues than Ejuke

Good to be back y'all. ChrisKels how far?.

Arabiandude:

These are 2 players with genuine talent and with a good coach in a big club, their talents will explode, just like Ferguson did with Ronaldo.
And for Ibe case, he was good at that moment but not talented, he was playing the normal British style of wingers, e.g write Phillip, lenon, etc, so I am not surprise that he retrogress...and it's same thing that's happening to Dele Alli right now.

If Chukwueze and Ejuke goes to a big club with good coaches and they fail to explode, then it would simply be because they refuse to work harder and not because they aren't super talented because in today's football, just talent is no longer enough

What is genuine talent and what is fake talent please

komekn:


Frank Lampard, Nuno Santos, Rafael Benitez, Slaven Bilić, Marcelo Bielso, Chris Houghton to name a few past and present.

These are all average coaches above according to you.

The championship is the stepping stone to the EPL, if you can somehow with consistency play on the deck top quality technical football overcome the physicality and dominate.

You will become a very high quality player wanted by the top clubs.

There are many players who have come from the less physically intense and taxing leagues and struggled.

I consider Etebo to be one of the best Midfielders in Nigeria and indeed expected him to be the next Ngolo Nkante. But he struggled in the Championship and was largely anonymous.

Meanwhile Ovie, Eze and Adarabioyo have been outstanding this season. As was Tega, Aina, Tomori in seasons past where are they now, top of the game.

I would absolutely say it's easier for young players to get opportunity in France, Holland and Belgium. That could be as better development but it's debatable.

Apart from French league one the other leagues are not necessarily better than the Championship.

After how many years in the lower leagues why has Bournemouth and Wolves lasted do long.

The fact is that the EPL is the most competitive league in the world.

What is genuine talent and what is fake talent please ❓ Talent is simply potential to be developed and released.

There are many players with talent but developing that talent technically with football intelligence becomes another thing

There are boys in the top academies of the EPL at age 9/10 you will be very surprised at the level of technical coaching. It gives these boys excellent first touch and awareness.

Do you know that most Nigerian players have a huge learning curve to overcome. A learning curve that talent alone will not enable you overcome. But discipline, diligence, aptitude and pray for patient coaches. Because the one thing you don't have is a lot of time.

Modern football is not just dribbling and doing skills it's gone far beyond that now.

A big club can expose the gaps in your attributes and capacity that raw talent has covered in lower clubs and leagues for many years.

Danielnino00:


You should have also mentioned Alan Pardew,Steve Bruce,Mark Hughes,Ian. Holloway,Tony Pulius,etc to balance things..

The championship is a stepping stone to the EPL maybe for English players... EPL teams don't turn to the championship for quality players ..they turn to Spain, Germany,France,Italy, Netherlands and Belgium!..

Of course it is easier for young players to get opportunities in France, Netherlands and Belgium because those countries don't impose work permit restrictions on footballers like it's done in England..

The EPL is competitive,yes but not technically sound like the Spanish league...
It's not like premier league clubs have dominated Europe forever or something...

ZikTzu:

Redknapp is the english MC Olumo . He has good eye for talent, plays attacking football and will be a big pull for our anglo-nigerian folks(the guy get sweet mouth no be small)

I still prefer Rohr. Redknapp has been inactive for too long.

I still root for Amunike And Finidi pair.

Both are home grown, played in our local league.

Both played under the highest point of our game, the US 94 team under Clemence Westerhof.

Both played under the tactical grandmaster, Louis Van Gaal (Finidi at Ajax and Amunike at Barcelona)

Both played in the Spanish league which is known for their appreciation of brilliant passing football.

Both got their coaching licence in Spain.

Enough of recycling old coaches and give the younger ones their chances. I say Amunike head and Finidi Assistant.

Arabiandude:

Fake talent is what 99% of English players, unlike Brazilians, Germans, Spanish, Italians, Argentines, even Portuguese

andrewbaba44:


Who told you most teams will struggle in the championship from the Dutch league ?

Na only Ajax you call ,teams like az akmar will boss the championship

Anyway Ruben neves left Porto for wolves in the championship for a record transfer fee in the championship and he was even their highest paid

It finally paid off for him and wolves

You are taking about two different things and with different context.

Access to football for Nigerian players is a completely different topic just as is access to the French league very different for Francophone African countries.

There is no problem of access for UK players including Nigerian origin players to playing in Europe. The only problem is £££ UK pays the highest in general.

The top clubs in the EPL are just as technically astute as La Liga. However in general l think Last Liga is more technical.

However, there is too much disparity between the top teams and the mid level teams in Liga. And the low level teams if La Liga have a huge gap between the top and bottom.

You made the claim of average managers not l then pointed out a few for you, in the Championship.

Now I challenge you to name better qualified and experienced coaches in any second tier league in the whole of Europe than in the Championship.

Steve Bruce, Holloway, Hughes, Pulis are way above average managers the only one that's suspect is Pardew. So your comparison is not really hitting your claim.

You are talking from you own perspective. You watch the EPL, so their coaches out of favour in the EPL are stars in the championship, that does not make them of better class.

If you study the Spanish football, you will know their is a parity in the proficiency in coaching training from the top leagues to the lower league. They are trained highly in the modern art of possessive football and have mastered it to the point it is part of them.

When Gary Neville went to coach in Spain, he was astounded at the highly tactical and technical discipline of the Spanish football. He saw things he had never heard of in training. That is why he was so lost in Spain and scarred for life.

These names you are listing, I doubt they will keep up with Spanish coaching and training.

Danielnino00:


You didn't even mention PSV and Feynoord..lol..

The championship is overrated...
The only advantage I see there is that they pay well .and it affords playing time for youth players from EPL team..

No player that's serious about developing his career will spend longer than 2 seasons in the championship or any second tier league for that matter...

komekn:


I agree but would have Finidi as head he us nit tainted with past experience of the NFF.

Finidi brings a clear perspective with clean hands and zero politics only a desire to succeed and he is not hungry for money.
