Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has expressed his desire to continue managing the team by penning a new contract, reports Completesports.com.
Rohr’s current deal will expire in June and the Nigeria Football Federation is ready to offer the German an extension.

NFF president Amaju Pinnick stated on Tuesday that Rohr must abide with some conditions in the new contract.


Rohr states that money is not a motivational factor at this stage of his coaching career and is ready to continue his adventure in Nigeria.

“I’m waiting for the (contract) proposal. Things could be very easy. I don’t want more money, bonuses.I just want to keep doing this,” the former Bordeaux gaffer stated in an Instagram chat with Collin Udoh.

“Personally, I received a few offers from other countries but I rejected them.
I just want to take this team to the next Africa Cup of Nations and the World Cup.”

Rohr, who has previously managed Gabon , Niger and Burkina Faso national teams was named Super Eagles head coach in August 2016 .

On October 7, 2017, his Nigeria-led team became the first African side to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup after a 1–0 win against Zambia.

He led Nigeria to a third-place finish at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.


Looooollll

I'm beginning to think this man is jobbing us.

You can't have been really receiving a better offer, and you want to die on Nigeria. Ones that are starting to thrash you.


Maybe it's cos the squad is full of potential, and he still needs it to land his dream job. That's the only possible reason

Wrong thread?

Heck, football is on leave because of the Covid-19 outbreak. If there is one place to discuss Covid-19, it is the football threads, because it has had a devastating effect on football.
Now PMB, Zainab Ahmed and Sovereign wealth fund place football on leave?

I think Rohr’s strengths is something we badly need. What they should be doing is finding him a very good assistant. They recruited Yobo and some of us celebrated. I think una eye done dey clear now about their intentions. Questionable decisions is always a bad sign.

Of course I understand that the naira isn't stable.. and with falling oil price,it expected to loss more value... But the nff can still pay Rohr in Naira,the dollar equivalent of his agreed salary...
His current Salary is $55k that's approximately #20m ...
So let's say the naira drops to 500/USD then that can pay him 27m naira like that and it will still be $55k ..

We don't know yet if the contract states that he will be paid at an agreed fee in Naira .. if that's the case,then it's not a very good clause ...
its a contract. And both sides gats agree on how payment must proceed. What Pinnick is doing is simply wrong, bullying. Man doesnt want it that way. Pinnick should stop doing like he has a loyalty for the naira himself.

See 27m can be $55k and the next month, that same 27m might be $50k.


That's why these pinnochhio want it in naira. Its a big reason.


They know he wouldn't agree, so it can be used to boot him out and that's working in that direction.

Yobo was not invited to the NFF set up by Amaju.

The experiential competence that Yobo has acquired by participation in 20 years + of professional football in Europes top leagues from some of the top coaches in the world exceeds most so called coaches with badges.

Having a driving licence doesn't make you a great driver.

Pls Don't even start with the Yobo defense. Its gonna suck. Pls, i use God beg thee.

Saying get out of here does not give credence to your talk. The point is so clear. We need to take defence of Nigerians against the Covid-19 coronavirus seriously and not waste funds on irrelevant things. It is so simple. Diverting scarce resources at this kind of time is totally wrong because this Pandemic is destroying the World as we know it. Football is not exempted.

So you are free to say another get outta here if it makes you feel better.

I don't need all your apology of not insulting me . They have of no usefulness...

You keep attacking the government because you think everything is easy ..
You sound like you could do better if you were in the position of power...
And I'm telling you to venture into politics and win elections and try and correct some of the wrongs in the society.. if you can't do that,then you will spend the rest of your life complaining,because as it is,the country doesn't appear like it will get better anytime soon..

We need people like you who know how to govern well at the helms of affairs,don't you think so?

PS: I'm no fan of Buhari and his government. The few posts I've made on nairaland regarding politics can prove that... I just don't like people who whine and complain endlessly about issues that they can correct themselves but chose not to.. You are clearly one of those people...

sorry for the way I talked to you earlier...

sorry also for mistaking you for one of the supporters of this government gross in competence

I am just worried about the incompetence and gross mismanagement of our government...and you know everyone has a different way they express their grievances reason for my constant write ups criticizing the government...

I think I really need to stop it now...it is not healthy over here...

thanks bro...for your response and replies..but you last paragraph about me is not true...tho

I understand.

I wasn't looking at it from the angle of an Eagles fan. If I were, I wouldn't care, I'd just want him to stay.

I was looking at it from his own angle. Knowing how dubious his employers can be. How they started demanding from him things they hadn't been demanding in the twilight of his contract, and how they started rubbishing him.


And this is just a preamble

Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has stirred up the hornet's nest after disputing the recent statements made by Nigeria Football Federation boss, Amaju Pinnick regarding his contract situation and invitation of home based players to the national team.

The German football tactician aimed a thinly-veiled dig at Pinnick at the way he went on air to discuss the conditions attached to his new proposed contract.

One of the conditions Rohr must accept before he's offered a new contract is that he must reside in Lagos or Abuja, but the former Bayern Munich defender has claimed that he spends more time in Nigeria than in Europe and argued that the Super Eagles players are based abroad with the exception of goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa.

In an Instagram Live conversation with Colin Udoh, Rohr said : "My philosophy is not to speak publicly about these things. I saw, like you, what was said on social media, but I can't comment.

"Already, I've spent more time in Nigeria over the past three years. All my players, except one, plays abroad."

Rohr added that some unnamed countries have been in touch with him over a coaching job but his first priority is to continue leading the Super Eagles, and maintained that money is not a deciding factor.

"I'm waiting for the (contract) proposal. Things could be very easy. I don't want more money, bonuses... just want to keep doing this.

"Personally, I received a few offers from other countries but I rejected them. I just want to take this team to the next AFCON and World Cup."

Rohr concluded by saying that he has invited twenty-four home based players to the Super Eagles since his appointment as coach, with many of the players earning contracts abroad after their call-ups.

"I've invited about 24 local players since I was appointed. Funnily, most of them get a contract in Europe almost immediately.

"It's difficult getting local players who are better than the ones we already have. That's why CHAN is important."

Rohr's best achievement as Super Eagles coach was finishing third at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Swedish Allsvenskan outfit Hammarby have pulled off a transfer coup by reaching an agreement to sign Nigeria U17 international Akinkunmi Amoo.

The Sidos Academy wonderkid has signed a preliminary contract with Hammarby which will come into effect on June 7, 2020 when he celebrates his eighteenth birthday.

It is understood that Amoo's contract with Hammarby is for four years and a twenty percent sell-on clause has been inserted into the deal taking him to his first professional club.

One of the players in the Golden Eaglets squad that left with his reputation intact despite their disappointing showing at the 2019 FIFA U17 World Cup, Amoo had attracted interest from European powerhouses such as Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, Arsenal, Monaco and Atlético de Madrid.

Diminutive in stature, Amoo, who has been likened to Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi, was the Golden Eaglets player with the most assists during the tournament in Brazil, setting up goals in three consecutive matches against Ecuador, Australia and Netherlands.

Hammarby part-owner Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped to swing the deal in their favour as he was actively involved in negotiations and had a personal chat with Amoo about joining the club.

Amoo is presently in Ibadan, Nigeria following his trip to Sweden, where he was shown the facilities of his new club and also took part in training.
