Can Rohr Be The Best Foreign Coach Of The Super Eagles?
Published: September 23, 2017
Highly respected foreign tacticians like Manfred Hoener, Father Tiko, Otto Gloria, Philippe Troussier, Bora Milutinović and Clemens Westerhof have tinkered the Super Eagles in the past.
The above mentioned coaches all came on board and made their marks for Nigeria and their legacies is worthy of mention but Westerhof stood out amongst the lots due to his records when he was in charge of the team.
One African Cup of Nations (AFCON) winners medal, one AFCON silver medal, one AFCON bronze medal and qualification for the 1994 World Cup.
Current coach of the three-time African champions, Gernot Rohr was contracted in August 2016, to steady the sinking ship of the Eagles.
Five wins, two draws and one defeat in eight games is a pass mark in the dossier of the former Niger Republic gaffer.
With a World Cup ticket in sight, should we say that the French man is in line to surpass the records of Westerhof and become the greatest foreign coach the Super Eagles ever had.
