Former Super Eagles manager, Gernot Rohr, has taken a fresh dig at Nigeria ahead of their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, tie with Egypt on Tuesday evening.

Rohr, who was recently sacked by the Nigerian Football Federation, said that the Super Eagles have no players in Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

The German tactician believes the Super Eagles cannot pretend to be better than Algeria or Egypt.

Rohr told football magazine World Soccer: “Nigeria don’t have these big stars like Jay-Jay Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu or Victor Ikpeba. [Wilfried] Ndidi isn’t yet a star; [Kelechi] Iheanacho not yet either.

“They don’t have any players in Liverpool, Manchester, Munich or Chelsea, which is the case for Senegal, Egypt, and Ivory Coast.

“The biggest clubs are perhaps Leicester, or possibly Napoli with Victor Osimhen.

“When you don’t have the players in fantastic clubs, playing the semi-finals or quarter-finals of the Champions League all the time, you cannot pretend to be better than Algeria or Egypt.

“That is the question of football without stars. It is more collective football.”

Nigeria are in Group D alongside Egypt, Guinea-Bissau and Sudan.

He is a sore loser. And I expected better from him as an old man.

Egypt with their "big star" looked lost today. Whereas, we played more like a team.

The thing Gernot Rohr couldn't achieve with us (playing as a team), is what Eguaveon achieved today. I have seen tweets from many people all around the world, and everyone is genuinely surprised at how organized and purposeful we looked. I actually enjoyed Nigeria playing for the first time since pre-world cup 2018 (qualifiers).

We don't care about Rohr's opinion right now!

NFF should ask for refund from this fraud. Imagine not seeing Iheanacho and Ndidi as stars. Then our local players must have looked like bricklayers to him... How many of the players participating in afcon play for these clubs he mentioned?
Racist fraud, just like his brother Klopp, must be seeing this competition as inferior for him to only rate those playing in quarter/semi of uefa champions league only as star.
So Iheanocho went from being a star in Man city to not being a star because he's now in Leicester city. Confusion!!
This guy is not good

See as they are all happy as if iheanacho declear interest to contest for Nigeria president if they will vote for him.

I was a staunch supporter of he genort rohr but after watching this match I discover genort rohr is just collecting free pension let for me eguaveon should be appointed

Even the new coach piesaro should be sacked . It's high time Africa begins to localize it's coaching crew and make them grow to international standards. Eguavon is doing fantastically well with the Eagles and should be retained as head Coach even after the Afcons

Little did he knows that it's not by big names or clubs. Where was chelsea man. C man. U Liverpool and Arsenal when Leicester won her EPL from relegation?

Useless coach that made our national team football uninteresting to watch.

Westerhoof had no stars to work with but in the end turned some of our local players into super stars.

Foolish Franco-German shepherd whose IQ happens to be in the negative. Nigeria's football yesterday was sweet to watch compared to the haram football this fraud instituted. I realized this guy is fraud during 2018 world cup. Even if you hand this fool a team like man city to manage, he'd take them to relegation

I wonder how this man became Super Eagles couch

Nigeria will be the last national team Rohr will coach, never again would we subject ourselves to whites, I see super eagles lifting the trophy.

This I have seen.

He is pained

Tactics
Game plan
Formation
Fighting spirit
And more haz been restored back to the team

Thanks Augustine Eguavoen

Rohr is a very stvpid man. How does having a player in Chelsea and Man Utd affect us in AFCON? Saleh wey dey Liverpool, wetin him play.

We need to sing "O buro jersey na agba, system na agba" for him.

Ok

I wonder why they refer to him as German tactician.... If it's because he's from Germany then he should just be referred to as "German born coach". He doesn't fit into that revered title "German tactician".

He was a big FRAUD!!
