NFF, Rohr ‘part ways’ as fresh Super Eagles contract talks collapse

Expected fresh contract renewal for Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr might have collapsed as the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) is yet to initiate talks with the German-Franco tactician.

Rohr who revealed this in an interview said he won’t force any contract renewal discussion with the NFF.

Rohr has three months left on his current deal with the NFF which he signed two years ago, same year he qualified the country’s senior national team for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

And despite talks of a possible renewal, the federation are yet to approach the 67-year-old Franco-German.

He said, “I will not ask the NFF what is going on with my contract renewal (with just over 3 months left on his present deal). It’s for the NFF to approach me. I am still waiting.

“My job is to focus on the Super Eagles, as long as I am the coach of this team. And I am going to do just that. Right now, my concern is that our players in Europe stay physically fit, even when they are not playing, because of the coronavirus situation.”
