Why Super Eagles cannot win World Cup – Rohr

The head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has admitted that the team cannot win the World Cup with the current crop of players.

Nigeria’s best outings at the tournaments were in 1994, 1998 and 2002, when they reached the Round of 16.

Rohr led the three-time African champions to their sixth appearance at the 2018 edition in Russia, where they crashed out at the group stage.

The German tactician was recently handed a new two-year deal and could lead the three-time African champions to their next outing at the global tournament.

Rohr, however, believes the Super Eagles cannot win the global tournament because many of the players are not playing in top clubs.

“We are not ready to win the World Cup, for several reasons,” Rohr told NewsCentral.

“France is the champions at the moment, where they are 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. So it would be a miracle if we actually win the World Cup.”
