The Technical and Development Committee of Nigeria Football Federation
has recommended German - Mr. Gernot Rohr for appointment as Technical
Adviser of the Super Eagles.
Ahmed Yusuf Fresh, vice chairman of the committee, said the team was
convinced of the former German defender’s suitability for the job after a
long session with him in Abuja on Saturday.
“The committee was impressed with Mr. Rohr’s profile and current
activities for the German Football Federation (DFB), so we invited him
to Nigeria for exhaustive deliberations. He was very positive, showed
great interest in the job and is ready and willing to live in Nigeria.
He is
also willing to work with indigenous Nigerian coaches and with the
committee, and believes the Super Eagles can qualify for the 2018 FIFA
World Cup, which is very important to the NFF. He swayed the committee
with his calmness, good knowledge of the African terrain, focus and
maturity” Ahmed Yusuf said.
According to NFF's Technical and Development Committee, Rohr has the
character and confidence to take the Super Eagles to new heights of
excellence. “Our job is to recommend him to the Board, which we have
done. The NFF legal department is working on the final draft of the
contract but we have agreed on a range of terms and conditions. The
Secretariat will present the full contract to Mr. Rohr in the following
days and the Executive Board will contact Mr. Rohr for the final
negotiations.”
