BEVERLY HILLS, August 07, (THEWILL) – Legendary Nigerian defender and former Super Eagles coach, Christian Chukwu, says that the 1994 Super Eagles team is better than the 1980 AFCON winning squad and the 1996 Atlanta Olympic gold side the “Dream Team”.
He stated this while speaking on a radio programme, “No Holds Barred” on Brila FM, saying that the 1994 Super Eagles team was the best the country have ever produced.
He said: “The 1980 team won the Africa Cup of Nations but the 1994 team won the Cup of Nations and also qualified for the World Cup.
“But it doesn’t mean the 1980 and Olympic squad were not good but like I said they (1994 team) not only won the Nations Cup but because they were the first side to qualify Nigeria for the World Cup.”
THEWILL reports that Chukwu captained the then Green Eagles to the 1980 AFCON title on home soil which Nigerian won.
