Rohr Reveals When He'll Hold Showdown Talks With NFF Regarding His Future
Published: November 13, 2019Gernot Rohr is planning to hold showdown talks with the Nigeria Football Federation regarding his future at the end of the year.
The German has stressed that he is not distracted by his contract situation with the Nigerian Federation despite his current deal set to expire in the next seven months, June 2020.
NFF boss Amaju Pinnick claims he has no issue with Rohr and suggested that he's willing to extend his contract provided a clause is inserted, stipulating that the former Bayern Munich defender will be domesticated in Nigeria, monitor the Nigeria Professional Football League and scout for talents.
Speaking on his contract situation at Tuesday's press conference, Rohr told reporters : ''A coach has to work like if he's still here in ten years, that's what I try to do, working for the future.
''My contract is ending next June, we'll see at the end of the year if we can sit together and speak about the future but for the moment it is not a problem for me and my staff.
''All the time we give our best, we try to have a good understanding with our officials, our staff, not only the technical staff but also the administrative and medical staff, we have a good team and solidarity. No any distraction because my contract is ending.
''It is also the time to have a project for at least two years to end after the next AFCON, I start now the AFCON qualifiers and I don't know if I will remain at the end because the contract is finishing.
''It is not really a problem but our project must be made for two to three years because what we want to do in this big country is to go also to the next World Cup and other countries are preparing and they have now a project.
''Project and philosophy of football which cannot stop after two first games of the qualifiers because the qualifiers will continue next June, in March will be friendlies again.
''For the moment it is not a problem but for the future we should see what is the project and if we can stay together or not.''
