Super Eagles manager Berti Vogts has vowed not resign despite his much publicised team recording another boring goalless draw in Ghana against Mali
The draw effectively ruled Nigeria out of the competition and gives Mali a massive advantage to go through with Cote d'Ivoire.
At a post match press conference yesterday the German tactician told angry Nigerian journalists that massed at the press conference that he would not resign and that he has a contract with Nigeria till 2010.
Former Super Eagles players like Segun Odegbami had predicted before the commencement of the competition that it would be difficult for Nigeria to scale the first round hurdle because the players had not gelled as team.
Yesterday's drab match incensed journalists in Accra who repeatedly asked the German coach what he taught the players at their training camp in Malaga, Spain.Vogts' only response yesterday was that he was disappointed by the players. He said that he expected more from the players he took to the competition.
Another former Eagles star Adokie Amiesimaka in a text message to Vanguard yesterday said that the German coach has scored another first by taking Nigeria to the "dark ages".
"The worst Nigeria coach is better than Vogts. As for the NFA, I won't waste any word on them," he said.
