NFF to make final decision on Rohr’s future as Super Eagles coach

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) say it will make a final decision on Gernot Rohr as Super Eagles coach after the team’s defeat to Algeria in the ongoing 2019 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final on Sunday.

The 66-year-old German tactician who has a year left on his contract with the three-time African champions has been heavily criticised for his tactics and selection of players in the tournament.

Among those calling for his sack are two ex-internationals Idah Peterside and Segun Odegbami.

The NFF has already indicated a desire for Rohr to remain in charge of Super Eagles beyond AFCON 2019 but Rohr has confirmed that he will take time after Wednesday’s third-place play-off against Tunisia to decide the next step.

Rohr took charge of Super Eagles in August 2016 and qualified for the 2018 world cup in Russia where the team failed to make it past the group stage.
