Disu: If you have been following our programmes very well, you will realise that we have been doing our bit to ensure football gets to where it used to be.
The government did not help matters too; over the years they have been having square pegs in round holes by appointing lawyers, engineers, and doctors to manage sports. Until that changes, the problems of our football will persist. In my time, Principals’ Cup made our football vibrant, we must restore Principals’ Cup and age-grade football. We must focus on grassroots football to make our football vibrant again.
PT: Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr believes the league itself is not producing the right talent needed in the national team. Do you agree with him? Take a close look at the national team coaches and tell me how many foreign coaches have matched the success of local coaches except Westerhof. Maybe two or three but we have a higher percentage of local coaches who performed better than their foreign counterparts.
PT: What is your general assessment of the current crop of Super Eagles players compared to what you had in your days?
