FORMER international, Daniel Amokachi has said that erstwhile Manager of the Super Eagles, Lars Lagerback was overpaid during his five-month stint as Nigeria's coach.
Amokachi was one of the Swede's assistants when the Super Eagles had a dismal performance at the last World Cup in South Africa.
The Bull as he is fondly called by his admirers argued that a Nigerian coach would have achieved more with a fraction of the wages Lagerback received.
"I think 200,000 dollars a month is a lot of money to pay a coach for a four-month deal. That is too much money to pay somebody to come up with just one point from three games.
"If you get a Nigerian coach and pay him less than that, he will do a better job," said the US '94 World Cup hero.
The former Everton forward however, denied calling for the sack of the former coach of Sweden.
"I did not say any such thing at any time to anybody.
"I speak my mind and I stand by everything I say. I did not hold any meeting with anybody or ask that the coach (Lagerback) be fired. I did not employ him. I do not know how he was employed, so why would I call for him to be sacked?" said Amokachi.
