The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) might not bow to pressure by a section of Nigerians who want Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr sacked after failng to win the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

NFF president Melvin Amaju Pinnick in tweet with respected Nigerian journalist Osasu Obayiuwana said the Federation had no plan to relieve Rohr of his duties despite the Super Eagles crashing out in the semifinal stage of the AFCON.

Pinnick said Rohr has met the target set for him by the Federation, despite some rocky and difficult moments they’ve had together, adding that the Franco-German is a good coach by all standards.

“Gernot Rohr will not be sacked as Super Eagles coach. He will remain in the job. I have confidence in him,” the NFF president said to @osasuo on Monday night. “Gernot Rohr has taken us to the semifinal, the target we set for him,” Pinnick added.

“There are some people that have been calling on me and the federation to sack Gernot. But I am not going to do that. In fact, Gernot is going on refresher training period with FC Bayern after the AFCON 2019. We have a long-term plan with him.

“We have had rocky and difficult moments in our relationship, but this is normal in any relationship between two people. He’s a good coach and we want him to remain with us. That said, we will work together on what needs to be improved upon,” the NFF president said.

One word..





INSANITY

Why did the same NFF sack Stephen Keshi after winning the AFCON?

Trust Pinnick.....more ways to loot funds

Refresher course ko, refreshment comes ni

Also send him on refresher and familiarisation course with the Nigerian Football League. We need home-based players in the team too.

I believe the coach did his best and deserves another term the game against Algeria I believe we were a little bit unlucky which to me is also part of the game

i believe this coach have somethimg positive to give to the team,the first job he should do is to find the best keeper and defence

Interesting......
This is a bit of a surprise because I was so sure he was getting fired. Instead he will be sent back to school to improve and continue to grow and get better... Wow...

Is this Nigeria?

Planning long term, instead of short term?

I'm ok with it.

You said wHat

Sack the old man
Use the money to send young nigerian coaches on refresher course

The NFF is right on track. First the coach was able to meet his target which is the semi final and there is a room for improvement in this team and nothing like having a long term plan which is good for our football.

Why can't they send Nigerian coaches on such course?

Kai as a Barca fan

Valverde failed to go

Rorh still failed to go

A. Dead

NFF is practically corrupt

Who else believes this corrupt Pinnick is killing our football

Nice one, NFF.
Rhor's a good coach... He just needs to improve.

Nice idea.

Simple Logic.
Foreign Coach.
Collect Pay in Dollars.
More avenue to embezzle funds.

I hope the news ain't true. Truth is our indigenous coaches always perform better but those greedy turtlenecks at the glasshouse prefer siphoning dollar chunks at the expense of The team's success.

Dead on Arrival.... waste

Waste of money

Was Stephen keshi sacked?
Thought he died while still on the job

He should find better striker and keeper and that defense xcant handle pressure

we are gradually growing

They should retain Him his a good coach he should just work on his scouting cos many good players are yet to be discovered and are way better than this crop of current eagles.
