Former Nigeria coach Clemens #Westerhof speaks about Nigeria football #politics
The #Dutchman was in charge for five years from #1989 and as well as the Nations Cup victory he led them to their first World #Cup in the same year.
Westerhof, who is also the longest-serving manager in the history of Nigerian football, has also coached in the #Netherlands, South Africa, #Egypt and Zimbabwe.

In his spell in charge of Nigeria the outspoken #Dutchman led the country to fifth place in the Fifa world ranking in 1994 - the #continent's ever highest - and also completed the haul of African football success with the West African nation.

He led the country to a runners-up finish at the 1990 #Africa Cup of #Nations, third place in the 1992 edition before conquering the continent in 1994.

The veteran Dutch gaffer inspired the national team to unprecedented heights in the early nineties, and he is haggling for a return, according to reports.

While the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and #Gernot Rohr continue their cat-and-mouse game over a new contract, former Super Eagles coach #ClemensWesterhoff has indicated his interest in returning to the seat he vacated 26 years ago, an official of the #football body
