Former head coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Gernot Rohr, has revealed a weakness in the gameplay of Augustine Eguavoens team, citing it as a reason for their loss to Rwanda, Soccernet.ng reports.
The German tactician is currently in charge of the Republic of Benin, and his side played a 1-1 draw against the Super Eagles when both sides met at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Ivory Coast last week, with Nigeria sealing a spot at the AFCON 2025 tournament.
In Nigerias final group game against the Wasps of Rwanda, Eguavoen opted to field a slightly weaker team and despite taking the lead in the 59th minute, the Super Eagles didnt hold on for long as they surrendered their lead to the Rwandans who sealed their first-ever win against Nigeria.
Rohr, whose side sealed qualification to the AFCON 2025 tournament as well, shared his thoughts about Nigerias style of play.
Rohr led Nigeria to the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and to a bronze medal at the AFCON 2019 tournament before he was fired prior to the start of the AFCON 2021.
