BREAKING: NFF TERMINATES SUPER EAGLE’S HEAD COACH, GERNOT ROHR’S CONTRACT
Joseph Omoniyi
Report says the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF has terminated super eagles coach, Gernot Rohr’s contract.
According to the report, officials of the NFF seem not to be satisfied with the foreign coach style of play and have contacted the federation’s lawyer to begin process of terminating his contract, even if he wins the most prestigious African football tournament.
“Since Nigeria qualified for AFCON, our attackers have been clay-footed with the manager unable to evolve a system that will optimise the potential of the team’s strikers, who do well with the 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,” an NFF chieftain said.
Rohr’s employers are said to be furious, that he keeps talking to the press about tenets of his contract, which had a clause of non-disclosure from either party.
