Super Eagles camp in disarray as players, coaches battle Rohr over ‘poor decisions’
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is said to be trying to bring sanity to Super Eagles camp over ‘the bad blood’ generated by Friday’s 4-4 draw the Nigerian team recorded against Sierra Leone in an African Cup of Nations qualifier.
Nigeria led Sierra Leone by 4-0 at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Friday only for the Leone Stars to come back and force the Super Eagles to a 4-4 draw.
At the end of the game, many of the players and some back room staff blamed Rohr for the draw, accusing the German of ignoring their counsel in the game management.
An NFF top official, who pleaded anonymity, said the federation’s President, Amaju Pinnick, had to intervene when it looked like some players and coaches were trying to mutiny against Rohr over the way he is handling the team.
Relating to an incident during the match when Skipper Ahmed Musa had to confront Rohr for making ‘bad changes’ in the course of the game, the source said many of the senior players accused the German of not understanding the flow of the game and therefore could not make effective changes.
“The Sierra Leonean coach made three changes that turned the game on its head, while Rohr reduced the effectiveness of our team by some curious decisions.
“The worst part is that he did not seek any of his coaches’ opinion before making changes during the game. He only wrote some things on a paper and passed to our team secretary, Day Enebi, who then submitted names for substitutions.
“Rohr said some of the players were not mentally ripe for national team games, yet he keeps inviting these players.
“The way things stand, if the NFF president fail to bring sanity to the camp, we could witness worse performance in Freetown,” he said.
The source also said some of the senior players have started questioning Rohr’s competence, arguing the German has not been able to lift the team above the 2017 level.
“I have been confronted by some of these players with what they perceive as the poor coaching standard of the leader of the technical crew.
“After the 2-1 loss to Argentina at the World Cup in Russia, Rohr said he had learnt his lessons from that game. But he seems to have learnt nothing.
“Some of the senior players have now decided to play more active part in team selection and management during games since Rohr has shown a glaring lack of capacity to manage the team effectively.
“I am sure that if the late Amodu Shaibu or Stephen Keshi were in charge of the Super Eagles, no team, not even France or Brazil, can force Nigeria to a draw after trailing by 4-0. It is not possible.”

The centralization of team selection and substitution has been decentralized...it won't be based on rohr's decision only but the backroom crew, and senior members of the team which are musa,ekong,balogun and iwobi...I know iwobi name will be a shocker to many of y'all here but iwobi is a big figure in the locker room.

It's not fake, Dare is the sport minister it was he who engineered Rohr's contract extension when Pinnick was hesitating.

The same musa who was ineffective in the game trying to detect things, how influencial was he? when he was on the pitch, because i remember everybody here was complaining of musa performance.

Let Ekong or balogun take up the coaching job, i'm tired of seeing nonsense .

When I told u about Rohr's favoritism in selection u did everything u could to guarantee that I was wrong but now that there is a mutiny what are you going to say? The players are not dullards, of course they see that Rohr is being biased.

Ola Aina and Semi Ajayi not starting on Friday was inexplicable if u ask me.

grin grin grin, I just hope we manage to win that game like I said earlier I don't trust him or Iheanacho leading our attack and the Sierra Leoneans will be coming into the game with a lot of confidence that they can actually win us.

Iwobi surprise? someone that reaches out to woo players for nigeria? not really plus we know he's the perfect bridge between naija and foreign born players.

really disappointed in rohr that he let things degenerate so much to the point of potentially almost completely losing the dressing room considering he used to take Mikel and Ighalo into confidence. i'm not a fan of too much player power whether in club or national team football but everyone knows to be a successful coach you need the buy in of your players. Mourinho had Terry, Lampard and Drogba Wenger Viera, Henry, Bergkamp Gaurdiola in Barca Puyol, Xavi and Messi.

based on your insight and what i've been reading in various media today i'll be surprised if Rohr is still in charge this time next year no matter what happens with the team

Musa and chukwueze


Iheanacho and chukwueze


Bonaventure and chukwueze


Any of those duo should lead the attack in a 3-5-2 formation

it is a good move to make others involved in decisions. But players involvement in team selection is very bad. Let's not allow this draw get into our head to the extent that we start making foolish moves.

But Chukwueze is not a CF, we can't risk starting players in wrong positions.

the minister should please stop forming activity and go make a bad situation potentially worse. he should just allow the NFF to be managing our football as he has been doing. if we sack rohr now is he going to tell FG to drop money to pay him off? he should leave amaju and co to sort things out if sacking rohr will be required

I also support Rohr's sacking I just did trust the news because it didn't come from Pinnick, as he's the one that can legally terminate the contract not Sports minister

Who'd pay him off? Where would the money come from

Rohr should resign instead, he's done his best.
