Former coach of Nasarawa United, Bala Nikyu, has proffered solutions to the challenges militating against Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clubs from excelling in the CAF club engagements.
In a chat with Deeonesports during the just concluded Bwari Football Coaches Tournament in Abuja yesterday, the tactician said"Nigeria clubs are not succeeding in the continent because the clubs lack continuity compare to their counterparts in other countries, a club side can sign thirty players at the beginning of a season and at the of the season they will allow them to leave in which other countries are not doing it like that,so lack of continuity is one of the problems ".
He further said that exodus of players also affect our clubs, because, other countries don't allow their players to leave like that but rather add like three or four more good players to the existing one that already understand themselves but it is no so with some of our clubs.
He however pointed out that " We have good players and technically sound coaches but we just need to work on continue and exodus of players and we will be good".
It could be recalled that the two clubs representing Nigeria in 2023/2024 CAF Champions League, Enyimba International and Remo Stars crashed out in the first round of the competition leaving only Bendel Insurance in CAF Confederation cup.
