Former Nigeria head coach Christian Chukwu has cautioned the team’s new manager, Jose Peseiro, not to repeat his predecessor Gernot Rohr’s mistakes.
Peseiro has been named as the Super Eagles’ next permanent head coach.
During the upcoming international friendly against Ecuador and Mexico, the Portuguese will assume command.
He’ll also help the three-time African champions prepare for the AFCON qualifiers in 2023.
During his nearly five-and-a-half years as coach of the Eagles, Rohr spent very little time in Nigeria. The 68-year-old Franco-German also underestimated Nigerian Professional Football League players (NPFL).
I’m very happy so that it does not delay our preparation for Nations Cup qualifiers and let’s see what he will do when he comes,” Chukwu told Brila FM about the hiring of Jose Peseiro
“I will like him to live here, monitor our leagues and our players; let him not be like Rohr who stayed in Germany. Then days to the match, he will come back to the country with the players and so on.
“I will like this one to stay in Nigeria if they have accommodation for him and everything and let’s see how it goes.”
