The
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will not renew Gernot Rohr’s contract
as head coach of the Super Eagles, even if he wins the 2019 Africa Cup
of Nations; this is authoritative.
According to our sources,
senior officials who matter at the decision-making echelon of the
federation are not impressed by the Rohr’s rather uncommitted handling
of the nation’s apex football team.
The unimpressive outing of
the German and his boys in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations’
Competition (AFCON) has forced the federation officials to ask their
lawyers to look at Rohr’s contract, as a first step to terminating his
deal with Nigeria, immediately after the AFCON matches on July 19.
“The
NFF is not impressed with the way the team is playing after Rohr has
been given all the support he required and were left unimpressed after
he fuelled the match bonus crisis in the Eagles camp.
“Since
Nigeria qualified for AFCON, our attackers have been clay-footed with
the manager unable to evolve a system that could optimise the potential
of the team’s strikers, who otherwise do well in their different
European clubs and in the Diaspora.
“We have given Rohr a free-hand to run the team. He picked his players for this competition unhindered.
“We
had a few reservations about the choice of certain players. But we
allowed him to go with all the technical issues, especially with the
choice of players,” a disappointed NFF chieftain lamented
