NFF Refute Reports Of Gernot Rohr’s Sack

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), on Thursday, refuted rumours of the sack of Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, following the team’s poor display against Cape Verde and inability to qualify directly for the Qatar 2022 World Cup group stage.

Reports were rife on Thursday morning about the German coach’s dismissal, but the NFF’s Director of Communications, Ademola Olajire, in a statement, called the reports of Rohr’s sack untrue.

The statement quoted the President of the NFF, Amaju Pinnick, as saying that no such decision had been taken.

“The Board of the NFF is studying the report of the Technical Committee, submitted after the match against Cape Verde in Lagos, on Tuesday.

“There are a number of possibilities, but we have not taken a decision to sack Gernot Rohr.

“I want to assure that whatever decision that is eventually taken will be one that will please the generality of Nigerians,” he said.

Pinnick added that Rohr has a contract with the NFF which contains a procedure for disengagement.

“If we get to that bridge, both parties will look at the contract and see what has to be done both ways. The Super Eagles squad is a national asset and we are just fortunate to be in that space to take decisions.

“Any decision we take must be what will be acceptable to Nigerians from far and near,” he said.
