Fresh facts have emerged on why Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr won’t be sacked by the Nigerian Football Federation, Sports Extra has exclusively gathered.

There have been calls for Rohr to be sacked after he failed to guide Nigeria to the final of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt after his side lost 2-1 to Algeria in the semi-final on Sunday.


Sports Extra reliably gathered that the German tactician, who has one-year left on his current deal has a $1m payment clause inserted in his contract should he be relieved of his post as the head coach of the team before the expiration of his new deal.

The NFF president,Amaju Pinnick, had on Wednesday ruled out wielding the axe on the 66-year-old who according to him met the target set for him by the federation.

“He (Rohr) will remain in the job. I have complete confidence in him,” Pinnick told journalists in Egypt.

“Gernot has taken us to the semi-final, the target we set for him. Right now, we have a third-place match to play for and we intend to have our team leave Egypt with honour.

“There are some people that have been calling on me and the federation to sack Gernot. But I am not going to do that. In fact, Gernot is going on a refresher training period with Bayern Munich after the Nations Cup. We have a long-term plan with him.

“We have had rocky and difficult moments in our relationship, but this is normal in any relationship between two people.

“He is a good coach and we want him to remain with us. That said, we will work together on what needs to be improved upon.”

German Rohr has recorded 20 wins in 35 matches, drawn five and lost 10 since he took charge of the team in 2016.


Telephone calls and messages sent to NFF’s Director of Communications, AdemolaOlajire, on the issue were not replied as at the time of filing this report.

Is he Nigeria's coach?

Cause I have left Nigeria football long ago

Let's not be in a hurry. They should leave him for at least 2 more years.

If we sack Rohr, we employ who?

That's we rushed to sack GEJ and employ Buhari, look at our live today.

No, na him be Nigeria president. Oga e better say u no comment than say you commented and be asking stupid questions

Why are people calling for his sack? The coach himself said it before the start of the competition that their target was to get to the semi-final, so since he and the NFF had a target of making it to the semi-final, which they did, why sack someone who met his target?

He's the gateman of the national stadium.

Impatience is gonna kill Nigerians if we don't kill it.

Coach is not our problem what about our players

cos he looks like my cousin from Ethiopia

He met his semi final target. So he didn't want to overshoot his target by getting to the finals?.
Wow..

Congrats to the Super Eaglles and Nigeria.
Something to take home..bronze

You can't sack him because you're afraid of paying him his 370 million naira release clause. Not that that money is as much as what you guys steal on a monthly basis though.
To be sincere I'm surprised that the team even got this far, with their tiresome football. 20 wins out of 35 is not a cup winning material.

Gbam.

Na your cousin be that.

He's now a gate man

Nigerians are mediocre by nature. That "he tried" mindset even in the face of glaring deficiencies cannot just be erased without conscious effort.
