Gernot Rohr, 19 other foreign coaches who have managed Super Eagles
The Nigeria Football Federation on Sunday sacked Gernot Rohr as coach of the national team after several weeks of speculation concerning his future due to poor performances.

The 68-year-old German national Rohr, who had been Super Eagles coach since August 2016, had a contract with Nigeria until December 2022.

Rohr led Nigeria to the 2018 World Cup and guided the team to third at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Rohr has also qualified the Eagles for next year’s Africa Cup in Cameroon, but he recently came under fire for poor displays against lowly-rated opponents.

The NFF said former coach Augustine Eguavoen would take charge of the Super Eagles.

I think Pinnock sacked Rohr to mask his inadequacies. I believe Rohr didn't really have full control of the squad.

Pinnick was pulling strings from the barground and some not So subtle like for example he brought back igalo sure without Rohrs say, meeting with kelechi the liecester man and Ndidi.

Perhaps it made kelechi so full of himself that he hosted a sex party before a match why, because he had the backing of Pinnick.

Sacking a coach before a tournament is counter productive

The sack is going to bite Nigeria in the ass, mark my words
