Ex international Adokiye Amiesimaka has said that the sack of Stephen Keshi will not solve the inherent problems of the Super Eagles national team.
The Nigeria Football Federation(NFF) on Thursday fired Keshi, replacing him with Amodu Shuaibu to oversee the remaining two matches in the 2015 African Nations Cup qualifiers.
Amiesimaka argued that Nigeria no longer produces good players for the national team.
“We have had 14 coaches since France 1998, does it mean that we do not have qualified coaches that can transform the team? Amiesimaka told the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN)
“Sacking Keshi and his crew does not change a thing; how do we expect Keshi to perform magic overnight, our problem did not start today.
“At the senior national level we should have elite players from the local league, but since Clement Westerhof, we have stopped producing players discovered from our league.
“The crop of players we produce these days shows the level of decline of our football.
