OFFICIAL: NFF Sacks Rohr ; Appoints Eguaveon Interim Head Coach

The Nigeria Football Federation has appointed Augustine Eguavoen, currently its Technical Director, as the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles on an interim basis.

This is with immediate effect, and follows the termination of the relationship with Franco-German Gernot Rohr, who has been in charge of the three –time African champions for the past 64 months, and is Nigeria’s longest –serving manager.


Following a virtual meeting of the NFF Executive Committee on Sunday, it was decided that Eguavoen will work with Salisu Yusuf (Chief Coach); Paul Aigbogun (Assistant Coach); Joseph Yobo (Assistant Coach); Dr Terry Eguaoje (Assistant Coach) and Aloysius Agu (Goalkeeper Trainer). Former Nigeria captains Augustine ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu and Garba Lawal have been appointed to provide technical and ambassadorial support for the crew.

General Secretary of the NFF, Dr Mohammed Sanusi said: “The relationship between the Nigeria Football Federation and Mr Rohr has come to an end. We thank him for his services to the Super Eagles and Nigeria.


“We also want to thank the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports for their collaboration and guidance all through.”

Eguavoen, a former Nigeria captain, was coach of the squad when it finished in third place at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt in 2006. He was on-field captain when the Super Eagles lifted the Africa Cup for the first time on away ground, in Tunisia 27 years ago.

He will now take charge of the team as it begins preparations for the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations taking place in Cameroon 9th January – 6th February 2022, and until the appointment of a substantive Head Coach.

FTC! Happy me!

Finally, God has delivered us from Rohr.

Sounds great, what a fantastic news.

. Rhor followers make una sorry but this mumu don do. We can’t be watching SE play in such shambolic performance and expect we the good fans to keep mute. Wetin happen gan gan. Under Rhor, team wey no get any level go dey play SE as if say dem dey use us do training. It won’t be an understatement if i say ordinary Somalia will dominate Eagles in ball possession under Rhor. Under Rhor all the small small African teams has that mindset that they can defeat SE home and away. So what else do we need him for ? The team is not playing good football yet some myopic pple we say it is result that matters even when we struggle to score 1 or 2 goals and haven’t been keeping clean sheet. Other than 2018 world cup qualification Rhor has done absolutely nothing since then and the SE performance has been retrogressive.

Yes ohhhh


Imaging


Rohr’s statement: Drawing against Cape Verde is like a win for Nigeria. That was a backlash and an insult to Nigeria.

Robosky abi wetin be ur name
Hope your eyes don clear now

Long overdue.

It's high-time we stopped wasting money on foreign coaches.Club football has various nationalities,with different native languages, that play,so the coach can come from anywhere.

A national coach should be part of our national identity.No top national team uses foreign coach.

We should stop wasting forex on foreign coaches.Since we had been doing that,what have we achieved?

Nigerians are among the best in other fields of endeavor,globally,why should sports be different?

Let us use the forex we waste on foreign coaches to develop and expose our local coaches,locally and internationally.

We should learn to fail or succeed with our local coaches,even if it's going to take us 20 years to develop one local world-class coach!

Do we even have choice? what successes have we achieved with foreign coaches??

Enough of short cuts to success failure!

Spain sacked a coach at the world cup few hour to their first match

So how did it turned out? They were knocked out in round of 16! Even though Spain had a more technically gifted and way more talented players than us

About bloody time. Hopefully the first thing will be to stop inviting Musa, Shehu and Ighalo and bring Emmanuel Dennis into the fold

Rohr's appointment termination is a welcome development, he had rode his luck for too long. However, having Egunavoen in charge could be disastrous .

NFF should appoint a permanent coach for Eagles. Interim coach will not help the situation.

We are talking about nigeria. We have to put a lot of factors into consideration EG. Corruption & nepotism. Watch as everybody go wan force their favorite player(s) into the team.

I hope Nigerians that called for his sack are happy that we are back to square one. The last time a Nigerian coach was in charge, our fifa world ranking was 70th position on July 2016. This clueless ones that are now put in charge will return us back there.
How can we sack someone that qualified us with ease to the nations cup and world cup knockout stages and we expect our football to improve. How can we sack someone who improved our ranking to 34th position in the world. We have never learnt our lessons and it shows we are still immature.
Nigerian coaches has taken us nowhere.
When Nigerian coaches are in charge every Group stage qualification are with the use of permutation, combination, statistical probabilities plus prayers.
I see no future for the super eagles under these ones which are not only unskilled in the job but are reputed to be fraudulent.
Very soon you will hear them bringing in strange players from strange clubs playing in strange leagues in Cyprus, Syria, israel

ok

same cycle. NFF would have appointed Shaibu Amodu if the man is alive

Shebi una dey see....Egua wetting??

Rohr sacked: Good
Eguavoen appointed: Not sure. But we hope for the better.

But anyone can be better that the clueless-looking man.

At long last


Musa is a gonaaa

Ghen then.. he has finally been Roared out
