Former international defender, Ifeanyi Udeze has called the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF to mandate the national team manager to include home-based players in his squad if he eventually retained the job. This is coming as the Federation is set to start discussing a new contract with Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr in January.
Udeze said the regular omission of domestic players fromthe Super Eagles since Rohr took charge of the team has had a negative effecton the development of the local league.
The former Paok of Greece back-man said it would not augurwell for Nigerian football if Rohr were allowed to continue inviting100percent, foreign-based players, when his contract ends in June 2020.
Udeze also posited that inviting domestic and foreign-basedplayers would go a long way in instilling a healthy competition in the SuperEagles team.
He added that the same approach of touring Europe to getplayers for the Super Eagles should also be re-enacted in Nigeria when he isreappointed to lead the Eagles.
