Breach Of Contract : Nigerian Federation Technical Director Fires Back At Rohr
Published: November 27, 2019Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has come under severe scrutiny from the country's football governing body, the NFF due to issues regarding his divulging some of the information relating to his contract to the media.
The Franco-German had earlier this month issued a two-month ultimatum to the NFF over his future with the national team, broaching that he could be forced to quit his post if things are not regularized.
That, probably has not gone down well with the body, and its Technical Director, Mr. Bitrus Bewarang has hit back with the notion that it violates some of the clauses in his contract.
Prominent among the clauses is that "coaches must not by their actions or inaction cause NFF or the Federal Government of Nigeria any harm, reputational damage or embarrassment, nor do anything directly or indirectly to undermine their contract with the NFF" and another which states that "coaches must not misrepresent the NFF or distort information to the media. They are precluded from imparting unauthorized information to the media."
"In as much as we appreciate the work that Mr. Rohr has been doing with the Super Eagles in the past 40 months, his recent penchant for breaching provisions of the contract he signed with the NFF and the Code of Conduct for coaches is not good for the relationship", Bewarang was quoted saying as in Abuja on Wednesday.
"The NFF wishes that Mr. Rohr continues in the job because of the team he is building for Nigeria which looks promising and has earned some good results since he took charge, but he cannot continue to nonchalantly cause the NFF as a body, and Nigeria as a nation, reputational damage through his utterances and actions."
Rohr will officially run out of contract with the Super Eagles on January 1, 2020.
