Libya coach, Adel Amrouche has apologised after he accused
Nigeria’s Super Eagles of relying on “Juju” to win their games.
Amrouche made this statement after the game between Libya
and South Africa in Durban which ended in a scoreless draw. He said after the
game that he was looking forward to playing against the Super Eagles.
He said:
South Africa is a fantastic team and have fantastic players
and it’s not easy to play against them.
For me, I’m ready for Nigeria; if they want we can play both
games in Nigeria; they believe in juju and we believe in God.
Later, he tweeted an apology after he was called out for his
statement
His tweet reads:
I apologise to the Nigeria football community for using the
words JUJU in the press conference in SA. I used the word in jest. I respect
Nigerians and their RICH football tradition. I’m a man who likes joking,but I
realise I used the word out of context. Please accept my apologies.
