SuperSport television presenter, Robert Marawa has criticized the football authorities in Nigeria for not showing confidence in local coaches with regards to the Super Eagles.
Adegboyega Onigbinde remains the only local coach to have coached the Super Eagles at a Fifa World Cup and Marawa is quick to identify that as one of the reasons Nigeria fail to achieve their full potentials at the international stage.
“Super Eagles have been very quick to use local coaches to do all the dirty work of the qualifiers then once they have succeeded in that then they shove them aside for European coaches who will ransack the (NFF’s) coffers and run afterwards.
“Stability is needed and less politics (is required),” Marawa told SuperSport.com.
The award-winning television presenter also took some time to comment on the state of domestic football in Nigeria while attempting to draw parallels with the South Africa Premier Soccer League (PSL).
“The South African PSL is very strong financially but has a long way to go on the field of play given that not much has been gained by any club since 1995 when Orlando Pirates won the Champions League. So it would basically be learning about structures and how to maximise on sponsorship money and TV rights,” he said.
Marawa was the latest guest on the live chat Q&A on SuperSport.com.
