Former Super Eagles striker Isaac Success said the disorganisation at the Nigeria Football Federation is chiefly responsible for the national team’s struggles in their World Cup qualifiers.
The Super Eagles face the possibility of missing the 2026 World Cup after winning just one game out six. Zimbabwean Warriors turned on the screw on the Super Eagles with a 1-1 draw at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium last Tuesday in a game they should have won to keep up the pace with group C leaders South Africa.
Speaking on the Super Eagles lack luster performances so far in the qualifiers Success who won the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2013 with the Golden Eaglets, said there is no organisational structure in Nigeria football and thus it would be hard for any coach to succeed in such environment.
“Do we have a structure before Eric Chelle was appointed? That’s the first question. The second question, if he’s coming with his own philosophy, do you think you have the players to fit in?” Success told Home Turf in an interview.
“If you are looking at these areas, you shouldn’t put all the blame on Eric Chelle. You should put the blame on the players, the staff, everyone involved, even the NFF. Because everyone is at fault at this point not just the boys.
“They are putting all the pressure on the boys right now. They are going back to their clubs, this is the time to rebuild, rethink and prepare for the upcoming qualifying games.”
