\n
Former Nigeria international, Segun Odegbami, has called on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), to look inward for an indigenous coach to handle the Super Eagles.<\/p>\n
Odegbami made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos.<\/p>\n
Recall that Jose Peseiro had in a farewell message on his official X handle on Friday, thanked the NFF and other stakeholders for the opportunity given him to serve.<\/p>\n
The likes of Emmanuel Amuneke, Sunday Oliseh and Augustine Eguavoen have all been linked with the Super Eagles job following Peseiro\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the development, Odegbami said:<\/p>\n
\u201cUnless we want to be enslaved forever, in our colonial mentality where we think that only the white can coach us to success.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll around us, we hear about some Nigerians who are excelling in all fields of endeavours and they are leaving the country to go and help other countries.<\/p>\n
\u201cFootball is not a rocket science, but a simple game, we have lots of Nigerians who have all the qualifications to take us to any level.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, I won\u2019t suffer from colonial mentality again and enough of foreign coaches, now, it\u2019s time for a Nigerian Coach to handle our national team.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cPeseiro did not resign as the story is being peddled, his contract ended and it was not renewed, end of story.\u201d<\/p>\n
