Rohr Is 24th Best Paid Coach To Russia 2018, Low Highest Paid





Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr will be the 24th highest paid coach at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, according to a report published in the Netherlands on Wednesday.
Rohr, who is leading Nigeria for their sixth World Cup finals with the Super Eagles going unbeaten during the qualifying campaign, earns £436,600 per annum, according to Dutch media and entertainment company Zoomin TV.
In Africa, Rohr is the third highest paid coach behind Egypt’s Hector Cuper, who earns £1.30m per annum and Herve Renard of Morocco with a take home pay of £681,000.

Cuper is the 11th highest paid coach while Renard is 21st. Tunisia head coach, Nabil Maaloul, is the fourth best paid coach aming the African coaches. Maloul earns £305,500 per annum.

Senegal’s Aliou Cisse is the lowest-paid of the 32 coaches in Russia this summer, taking home £174,500-a-year.

For his height I find it difficult. That was just slightly less than what I weighed at about the age of 30 before my Doctor referred me to a dietitian who placed me on a diet plan, saying my BMI was tending towards obessity. And I am about 176cm tall.

Well could be that he has very thick bones.
Yea. He may have thick bones and/or a slightly higher muscle mass on his frame.
I was (and still) 6’2”, and did not look chubby nor overweight. According to both BMI and SBMI measures, I was within the “normal weight” range.

Of course, Mikel ought to rank behind the likes of Lampard - a Chelsea legend; Makelele who transform the way people play the DM position, and even Ballack. But Mikel shouldn't rank below Meireles. That's outrageous!

Anderlecht, Club Brugge Favoured As Liverpool Awoniyi Shuns Interest From Greek Side PAOK



On loan Liverpool forward Taiwo Awoniyi has shunned interest in his services from Greek side PAOK Thessaloniki who are among clubs keen on signing him on loan next season.

Awoniyi who is presently out injured for the rest of the season has emerged as a target for several European teams, thanks to his dazzling display for modest Belgian side Mouscron.

Greek side PAOK made contact with the representatives of the forward who scored ten goals in 31 games this season before his injury but the striker want to remain in Belgium.

Anderlecht and Club Brugge are in a two way battle to sign him on loan from Liverpool next season. He is also eager to join any of the above mentioned team as he has already applied for a Schengen visa for his wife to-be to enable her join him in Belgium.
He is due to get married to his girlfriend in June as first reported by this portal, and he has already started plans of having her with him in Belgium clearing the way for either Anderlecht or Club Brugge to sign him.

Jordan torunarigha would have made it to the world cup not only that but would have been one of super eagles shining lights in Russia, also ibe who i believe is better than Simon Moses. i pray their decision don't come to hurt them later. any info about uduokhai and akpoguma playing for 9ja in the nearest future? also the nff should re-approach PEC zwole's ehizibue who is rated as one of the best right backs in the dutch league. also there is a certain mandela egbo in the ranks of monchenglabach who is highly rated and have tipped to see more playing time next season in the bundesliga

I believe those two, akpoguma and uduokhai are still on our radar. Won't take soon before the new ones you mentioned start getting raves. But Jordan, e pain me.

It does nothing for our WC preparations.. According to Rohr, it is a way to bid farewell to Uyo fans.

But it was stated the game is to test our readiness for the WC.

To bid farewell with the CHAN team? Are they the ones going to the WC?

i believe billing will play for Nigeria if approached by pinnick. he just got capped last year by the danes in u21 level and now it seem he isn't yet considered for their senior side. the lure of the play at the fifa world cup would have been the decider for him

Pinnick sef go dey shy sef. never has an NFF president had his hands as full as now....
