Super Eagles new coach Austin Eguavoen has said the players are responsible and professional and as such he will not treat them “as kids” amid media reports that the NFF plan to re-introduce a code of conduct for the team to curb indiscipline.
NFF president Amaju Pinnick has said discipline has broken down in the Super Eagles and so coach Gernot Rohr has to be sent packing.
Sex parties by some of the Super Eagles stars in training camp were staged before the recent World Cup qualifier against Cape Verde in Lagos even though officials have since denied these reports.
A section of the media has now reported that the NFF are mulling the idea of bringing back a code of conduct, which was previously used to enforce discipline in the national team.
However, Eguavoen himself a former international, has maintained that may not be necessary.
He told Nigeria Info FM: “A code of conduct? But the players are not kids, they are professionals and not U17 boys.
“They head their homes and are responsible for their conduct and actions.
“If you falter (discipline wise), you are out of the team.
“But I don’t think this (code of conduct) is necessary.”
‘Cerezo’ Eguavoen has also handled the national U17, U20 and U23s as well.
What do cerezo have to give Nigeria ntin I think we are just going to AFCON to makeup the number especially with your cerezo in charge with everything in Nigeria padi for padi am not expecting any miracle from the national team talkless of winning the competition, when was the last time he was in charge of any team in Nigeria or out of Nigeria the last time outside Nigeria he was sacked n get sacked at sharks in Nigeria so you are letting him to lead us to AFCON.
We gave Roah a target to get us to the final now my question is what are the target we are giving Cerezo to archive in AFCON or just to make the number n come n tell us thier is no time to implement is style after the team have perform woefully in the competition. All I know is we have nting to do in AFCON talkess of winning the competition.
