The Nigeria Football Federation has terminated Gernot Rohr’s contract as the Super Eagles coach.

Subsequently, the football federation appointed Augustine Eguavoen, currently its Technical Director, as the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles on an interim basis.

“This is with immediate effect, and follows the termination of the relationship with Franco-German Gernot Rohr, who has been in charge of the three –time African champions for the past 64 months, and is Nigeria’s longest –serving manager,” a statement from NFF stated on Sunday.

The statement added, “Following a virtual meeting of the NFF Executive Committee on Sunday, it was decided that Eguavoen will work with Salisu Yusuf (Chief Coach); Paul Aigbogun (Assistant Coach); Joseph Yobo (Assistant Coach); Dr Terry Eguaoje (Assistant Coach) and Aloysius Agu (Goalkeeper Trainer).

“Former Nigeria captains Augustine ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu and Garba Lawal have been appointed to provide technical and ambassadorial support for the crew.”

The statement quoted the General Secretary of the NFF, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, as commending the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports for collaboration and guidance all through.”

Finally

chaiii!!!
they don sack am finally!!! finally!! and finally!
wetin the man do dem self

I have a mixed feeling about this sack.

1) There is hardly any time a better coach was appointed after sack of former coach in the history of Nigerian Super Eagle.

2) Super Eagles have bench warming team and obviously you don't expect miracle from Rohr

3) This may be just another money making exercise. These guys wants money stealing opportunity when hiring new coach.

4) Why are they sacking him when he is getting result? I mean this guy could not qualify Nigeria out of the group stage yet no sack then. Is it now he is about to qualify Nigeria for the world cup? Coaches are usually sacked when results are not coming.

5) Which coach do they plan to hire now? Expect something worse than Rohr. I can bet my balls.

6) Everything under Buhari is at the lowest ebb. Is it football you were expecting miracle?

Nigeria is a funny country sha
