Former Nigeria midfielder, Arthur Ebunam, has called for the immediate sack of interim manager, Augustine Eguavoen, following a goaless draw against Ghana on Friday.

Ebunam who played for Rangers asked that the manager who took over from German Gernot Rohr should be relieved of his duty saying that the Eguavoen was not the right man for the job.

“I appraise the Super Eagles' performance against Ghana below 50%. Unless the coach is changed because he lacks tactical knowledge of the game, l don’t see the team going to Qatar,” Ebunam said, as quoted by Completesports.com.

“The team has no pattern. A team that played four strikers with two midfielders and four defenders. The strikers were lost during the game against Ghana; no through balls to the strikers on a transitional play or on the counter-attack.”

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have resumed training at the MKO Abiola stadium in Abuja ahead of the second leg clash against Ghana in which the winner will determine who goes to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup.
