An individual from the Technical Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Garba Lawal, has reprimanded Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr, over his treatment on Standard Liege midfielder, Uche Agbo. Agbo was dropped from Nigeria’s squad for the 2018 World Cup, in the wake of failing to play a single competitive game for the team, in spite of getting called up in the previous two years following Rohr’s landing. Lawal likewise communicated his dismay with Rohr, for not running his last rundown through the NFF Technical Committee, before making it open.
“Agbo was poorly managed by Rohr. You can’t call a player for two years constantly and not even give him few minutes to express himself. Not even in friendly games. That’s is sad and it’s a case of poor man management. I got to know about the World Cup 23 man list like every other Nigerian. Rohr didn’t run it through the Technical Committee as contained in his contract. This is not the first time he is doing so,” Lawal said.
