At least five English Premier League clubs have been offered the chance to sign Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa, according to reports. Team Talk claims Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, West Ham United, Burnley and Sheffield United have been approached by Musa's agent but it remains to be seen if an offer is made. The Golden Boot Soccer Academy product was on the books of Leicester City for two years after which he transferred to Al-Nassr after putting himself in the shop window at the 2018 World Cup. He is currently a free agent after mutually terminating his contract with the Saudi Pro League club last month. Though Musa is on the radar of clubs in Spain, Russia, Italy and Turkey, he would prefer a move to the Premier League. Meanwhile, according to Serbian media Srpski Telegraf, it is claimed that Serbian powerhouse Red Star Belgrade are in advanced talks to sign the former Kano Pillars star in the January transfer window. The 1991 European champions are targeting Musa amid uncertainty over the future of Ghana striker Richmond Boakye. 1 Like |

jihday: That Honduras team was fire. Most of them were in Nigeria 1999 and were high in understanding. David Suazo was a menace also. Later became a too player in the la Liga. The Italains were the European U20 champions in 1999 and a strong unit. With the brilliant Andreas Pirlo coordinating the team. Surviving that group showed the quality of the team. 1 Like 1 Share |

olu98:you see that world cup. We're reaching there. Nigeria's 2021 team will be more composed as our players would have developed and bonded together by then. Our team is already sitting up and May is still a long time from now. Remember that we beat the same Algeria last time. Our world cup qualifiers record has been consistent. I don't think it will change. For me, the structure makes it easier. You just need to overcome one tough team instead of being in a group of death. 1 Like |

jihday: They were good. As I said most were in Nigeria 1999 and even John Fashanu used to praise them and tipped Suazo for success. Go and look at Julio Leon's goal and see his technique to score that goal. It will give you a hint of their quality. In Nigeria 1999, Brazil had to bring their A game against them to qualify. I think that Honduras team was even together since their U17. 1 Like 1 Share |

"It was a good game," he told the media. "It was not the result we expected considering the very horrible turf and the kind of pitches our players play on. "You don't just wake up and say you want to fire a coach, you don't just do that. Even though I have my own reservations about the man." Part of the reason for this controlled reaction could be the severance pay that Rohr -- who only signed a contract extension in May -- would be entitled to if he was fired before he failed to meet targets set for him. These targets, sources tell ESPN, include matching or bettering Nigeria's performance at the Afcon in 2019 and World Cup in 2018. This means he would need to fail to reach the semifinals of the tournament in Cameroon for the NFF to fire him without incurring stiff financial penalties. Failure to qualify for the Afcon would meet the baseline, but there is no danger of that, with Nigeria just two points away from going to Cameroon. Pinnick's next words, not exactly a ringing endorsement of the coach, seemed to reflect that reality. "It's not that we are excited, but we believe it can be better and these are very critical times for us to start wanting to change coaches unless there are some issues of insubordination attributed to the coach," he added. Insubordination could be a back door to achieve the same objective and a source who was in Sierra Leone told ESPN that there had been issues between the coach and certain ranking officials of the federation in Freetown. Pinnick said the NFF's Technical Committee was investigating: "We still need to carry out further investigations. If it is established that there was any gross insubordination, then we can do what we need to do to, Nigerians don't need to tell us. "If we find out that the violation was very gross, and is not acceptable then that is his fate. But if it's not gross, then we will look at it and take our next action, but I can tell you sacking of the coach at the moment is out of it." None of this will be very reassuring for Rohr. There are four months until the next round of international matches -- plenty of time to shift Rohr and hire a replacement. Sources tell ESPN that former international Emmanuel Amunike -- who was highly touted at the height of Rohr's contract negotiation hold-up -- could be in line as a replacement. Argentinian Hector Cuper is also believed to be in consideration, according to other sources. |

The only reason why rohr could be sack is 1. If we didn't qualify for AFCON 2. if we fail to get to the semi final of the next afcon 3. If rohr is found guilty of insubordination charged against him |

If investigated by technical committee and found guilty then his replacement will be 1. Amunike 2. Cuper 3 Ndubuisi 4. Redknapp 1 Like |

Any one can shout blood, Rohr is going NOWHERE! NOBODY has been able to point at his deficiencies yet they scream murder! Rohr has surpassed many Nigerian coaches in many ways. Drawing with Leone is not a valid reason for all the buzz 1 Like |

JohnBullMySon: You keep talking about how good our team is.. But you are ignoring the obvious issue which is the level of coaching.. It doesn't matter how many star players we get, if the level of coaching doesn't improve, we aren't getting anywhere.. Good thing you mentioned Algeria.. The Algeria team we beat in 2016 was star studded if not more star studded than the current one, but they were poorly coached.. Look at them now.. Can we still beat them again at this time?? We can get Lookman, Adarabioyo maybe even Saka,but with a coach like Rohr that doesn't know how to utilise them, we are going nowhere...that's the truth... 3 Likes |

jihday: @ 2005 U-20 world cup, we managed to qualify from our group with four points, but we were still able to make it to the final. The same thing happened at 2013 nations cup, so that doesn't mean the team is poor, the major problem with that team(2000) was goalkeeper(Etafia). |

Edopesin: Rohr is a technical adviser same with emenalo...the truth is Nigeria no get coach at all ....our last coach was salisu yusuf...so the truth of the matter now is the appointment of a new head coach who will be working together with the technical adviser....there is huge discrepancies between the role of a technical adviser/ sport director and head coach. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Edopesin: 12:26pm On Nov 20, 2020 |
smartsmith0907: Rohr as a tecnical advisor has coached teams and has better experience than emenalo both in national and club level, we don't know if emanalo as head coach will come good for us but it's gamble the NFF will not take that's for sure. We need a Coach and an experienced one |
