Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr

The possibility of the Nigeria Football Federation renewing the appointment of Super Eagles Coach Gerhot Rohr, seems to be getting stiffer.
His contract will lapse in June but NFF’s chairman, Ammamju Pinnik, says it can no more pay his salary in dollars.
Besides, he says for the NFF to renew the contract the coach must be prepared to reside in Nigeria.

In effect, Pinnik notes that Rohr must accept the following clauses if he wants to retain his job:

1. Rohr’s salary will be paid in Naira.
2. Rohr must reside in Nigeria
3.Rohr must attend local league matches with view of grooming local players to international stars.

He adds on a programme on Arise TV:

“In one week, Rohr will get his contract, he should study his contract and come back to us. So, give and take, within seven days, he should have his contract.

“The only thing that can impede the contract is if he refuses some of our new clauses in the contract. “Rohr should live in Nigeria and go around to watch the league matches and see how to nurture the players.

“He has to be paid in naira, we will pay him naira equivalent of the dollars, we have to strengthen our currency. If he’s able to accept, we have a deal.

“I get calls every day from coaches that want to come here”
