Super Eagles Coach Rohr Gives NFF Two-Month Ultimatum, Threatens To Quit If...
Published: November 22, 2019Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has issued a two-month ultimatum to the Nigeria Football Federation over his future with the national team, saying he would quit his post if things are not regularized.
Nigeria are unbeaten since the conclusion of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, registering back-to-back impressive draws against Ukraine and Brazil and they have maximum points from their first two group matches of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Rohr recently met with Nigeria's Sports Minister, Sunday Dare and it is claimed that the Minister held talks with the German over extending his contract for two or three years, with his current agreement with the Nigerian Federation set to expire in June 2020.
''There is tremendous potential in this team, with great players like Osimhen,'' Rohr explained to sofoot.com
''There are interesting prospects, such as the AFCON 2021, the World Cup 2022. But first we must regularize things''.
Rohr added that from January 1, 2020, he will be " free to engage elsewhere ", if nothing is settled by then.
