Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has expressed his desire to stay on with the national team and lead them out to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The German tactician said this after the Super Eagles ouster from the ongoing 2018 Fifa World Cup after a 1-2 defeat to Argentina.

“It’s my desire to stay on with this fantastic team. They are a young team both in the defence and the attack. It’s a team with a good cocktail of passion, discipline and enthusiasm”, he said.

Rohr, 64, noted that staying to nurture the team would see them take the World by storm starting with the African Cup of Nations next year.

He joked that he would also like his captain, Mikel Obi, to stay on so that the bond they built would continue.

Mikel meanwhile, praised the team and said that in his whole years in the national team, he has not seen a team as good and disciplined like this, Vanguard reports.

“This could be my last World Cup but I think that this team remain a good team for the future,” he said.

The former Chelsea midfielder also heaped praise on the Nigeria Football Federation describing it as the best ever since he started playing for Nigeria.

“There was no distraction of bonuses and allowances. They organised quality friendly matches for us and ensured that we travelled with the best aircraft. The safety of players and comfort were their priority. I doff my hat for them.”

Oga resign u have tried your best

Okay but why are Nigerians like this

Will don't have any good reason to sack him, although I have not forgiven him for putting Igalo instead of Iwobi in our last match against Argentina.

What are they waiting for (NFF), his contract should be renewed immediately. The coach deserves some accolades.

Continue wetin? Fantastic team?

You better go back to your country Germany and coach the Bavarians that couldn't beat common South Korea

The NFF should call back Sunday Oliseh

He should continue, we will mark him after afcon

Let him finish wat he started, we like firing coaches like chelsea fc

Nice

The man is okay for me .

He should, he has assembled a good team that will do well in years to come. Just a little touch

He's still good to go..

I love him

Even though some things just had to happen

Shut up sir

Since he became coach, e get the kind popular Nigeria/Supereagles dey these days. I think he should continue.

he should go home....
let him go and coach his own country.

Rohr dispayed some tactical ineptitude during the game vs Argentina. He should have made changes in the 75-80th minute. However, I think he has done a decent job and for the first time in a while, the Nigerian team looked like a team that went onto the field with a defined gameplan. I say we keep Rohr for the Nation's Cup and see how he does

Person wey no fit do sub jus to waste time at dat dying minutes of our match......make him go rest jhur hom don try

we should develop our league,

there are numerous coaches in our league far better than all these Physical Education teachers (foreign coaches)

He's a good coach. Continue

This is very ridiculous.

A scare??

So giving a scare is now an achievement??

I am fully in support of this coach... He has done a great job... Expect more players in to the supper eagles.. kudos to you sir.

Well if we keep on changing coaching we would go nowhere. I hope next time when you need just a point to qualify and it's 85 minutes you would do the Jose and Sean dyche style. *Park the bus let them scream but get your results

I believe this guy was able to build a pattern for once in se and also attract players from foreign land which signify respect.

We keep saying westerhorf till today,
