Rohr’s salary: NFF in trouble as sponsors pull out

*Owes Eagles coach three months wages

*Don’t expect bailout, says Sports Ministry

Nigeria Football Federation slipped into further financial mess when the sponsors of the salary of the Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr pulled out of the deal.

Rohr signed a two-year contract with the NFF and he is expected to pocket $47,000 every month but a source told our correspondent that the German coach had only received a month salary since he took over in August.

The NFF President Amaju Pinnick had said that an oil company offered to bankroll the coach’s salary and the two parties had signed an agreement over the deal.

Our correspondent learnt that even though the federation made the announcement, it was yet to finalise negotiations with the company before it engaged Rohr and made the arrangement public.

Pinnick had said Financial Derivatives Limited brokered the deal and the arrangement involved the oil company paying into the account of the consultancy firm which will later remit the money into Rohr’s account. But a source in the federation said the oil company was no longer interested in the deal, as the parties were yet to agree on grey areas.

“The oil company was also put off by the ‘bad media’ the federation has attracted and believes this could affect its corporate identity,” the source who is a staff of the federation told Saturday Telegraph.

“The NFF is now the one trying to pay the coach and has been looking for money everywhere to fulfil its financial obligations to Rohr.

They gave the coach some money about a week ago, it was a part payment, it was from the money they got from one of the sponsors and I also heard a few days ago that the coach will be paid from some money they are expecting from FIFA and CAF.”

Our correspondent called the owner of Financial Derivatives who is also a renowned economist Bismark Rewane for further clarifications but he did not pick the calls before going to press. Meanwhile, Saturday Telegraph learnt that the sports ministry had already told the NFF to forget about bail out over Rohr’s salary.

A source in the ministry told our correspondent that the minister of sports Solomon Dalung was not interested on any issues regarding the payment of Eagles coaches’ salary. “It was part of submission they made recently but the minister told them pointedly he was not interested.

He asked them before they engaged a foreign coach if they had the financial capacity to pay but they insited on engaging an expatriate. Dalung has told them the Federal Government will not give them a dime for Rohr,” the source added.

The crisis in NFF can not attract sponsors, at all.

Pinnick, best find a way to pay the Coach , so as not to kiss our qualification good bye.

This is what you get when the president and his gang of thieves are sport cow loving people.


I know they are also expecting that japanese billionaire who paid the eagles in olympic or another one to come and pay the coach & the falcons.

Useless government.

why won't they get money to pay Rohr? Was he not hired before the girls went to AWCON?

If someone must suffer for the SF issue, it's not Rohr because he earned his wages as well. Please call out some other person rather than pitch the teams against each other.

Is he less deserving of his wages than your girls?

Op, you are wrong, the whole country is in trouble not only the sport sector. Go to your nearest state hospital, school, road to confirm

My girls? cheesy

How can Rohr suffer for the SF issue?

If the nff and ministry of sport could find a way to get that kind of money for the male team what's stopping them from doing same for the female?

You should even be the one saying this and me doing what you are doing sef undecided After when it suits you una go claim equal rights
