Head Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr

Former Nigerian player Mutiu Adepoju has explained the role of the Super Eagles head coach in calling up players into the National team.


In a chat with brila.net, Adepoju stated that there are a lot of good players out there doing well in most of the obscured league that wants a call up to the national team but inviting them depends on the decision of the coach.

“I believe Genort Rohr must have seen any player(s) he wants to invite for the national team.

“Every player’s playing anywhere will clamor to be part of the National team but it is now left for him to decide if the players are good for him to be called into his team.

”But definitely any player doing well should be given a chance but the coach has that power to ascertain that for his team.”
