With the current crop of players at its disposal it will take a miracle for Nigeria to win the World Cup, Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr, has said.
He said this during an interview with journalists on Tuesday.
Rohr, who had taken Nigeria to the 2018 World Cup, said it would be tough for the team to lift the trophy this time around.
“We are not ready to win the world cup, for several reasons,” Rohr stated. “First reason for me is the organization,” Rohr said.
“France is the champion at the moment, where are they playing? They are playing in PSG, Bayern Munich. Four of them are world champions at their clubs also.
“So when you have so many of your players from your countries playing in the best clubs, so the probability that you also have one of the best teams in the world is very big.
“So what we have in Nigeria for example, we have our players in Fulham, in West Bromwich. It’s not Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester United or Barcelona. But the other ones have their players there.”
Rohr, a former Gabon and Niger national teams coach, was recently handed a new two-year deal and could likely lead the three-time African champions to their next outing at the global tournament.
