Nigeria failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations final, following their 2-1 defeat to Algeria on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
The Eagles had drawn level thanks to Odion Ighalo\u2019s penalty, following William Troost-Ekong\u2019s unfortunate own goal.<\/p>\n
But Riyad Mahrez stepped up and curled a wonderful free-kick in the 94th minute, to secure his country\u2019s place in the final against Senegal this Friday.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview on Channels TV on Monday, Idah suggested that Rohr seems to be learning on the national team job, insisting the German lacks the capacity to take the Eagles to greater heights.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the Eagles to soar to greater heights, the coach should be sacked, let him go. Rohr was not prepared for this job. You don\u2019t learn in the national team, you must come prepared to do the job.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt some point during the Algeria game, he did not know what to do next. He played most of the players out of position which affected the balance of the team. Iwobi was clearly tired against the Algerians and he did not change him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe coach kept chopping and changing the team which is a clear sign of weakness because the team lacks players that can fit into particular positions in the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cFeelings come to play in this. I think Rohr feels he has done well enough by taking us to the World Cup, qualifying for the Nations Cup and needs new challenge. I would be surprised if they (NFF) keeps him on the job,\u201d Idah said.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
