Nigeria face a most daunting task to qualify for the World Cup as they are second bottom in Group C with three points from four matches.
“Anybody who is appointed for the Super Eagles must qualify us to the World Cup,”
Maintained ‘Quicksilver’ Okpala, who was assistant coach when Nigeria won the 2013 AFCON.
“If such a coach doesn’t, then he has failed.
“If not they should have left the person who started (the qualifying tournament).”
Okpala added:
“It will be a disaster if we again fail to qualify for the World Cup, we cannot afford not to be at the World Cup because there will be crisis.”
