Former Super Eagles captain Austin Okocha, has called for the sack of the executive board of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, because Nigeria will not win trophies under their leadership.
“The Super Eagles may not win any trophy until the current NFF officials are dissolved or reformed.
"Appoint new officials who know more about football, who have interest in football, who love football, whose lifestyles represent football,” Okocha said in an interview with The Guardian.
Okocha has publicly opposed the appointment of Eric Chelle as the new manager of the Super Eagles.
He added that the inconsistencies in coaching personnel in the Super Eagles will hurt the dream of the team, and distort the attention of players.
“When you change a coach, you have changed a dream, a vision, and a mission. It’s harmful to the players; they will lose focus, except the players themselves demand a better coach” he continued.
“I have received messages asking me to apologise to the NFF, and my question is, ‘For what? For demanding a better committee?’ No, I won’t apologise,” he said.
“Football is the only thing that keeps Nigeria united. If you politicise it, what will be our hope tomorrow? We must be free to express our minds.”
