So I am happy about this opportunity and grateful to the Nigeria Football Federation and the sports minister for their confidence in me to coach this great team.
I just want to focus on the future rather dwelling in the past, which Cameroon’s AFCON tournament was one. We anticipated a great outcome but due to the pressure, after the first three wins we dropped out. However, the boys definitely put up a very beautiful performance at the AFCON and everyone was happy. With that, I know there are criticisms but my being saddled with this responsibility again attest to the fact that they are happy with their performances at the AFCON.
