Former Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr has insisted that he rejected advice from officials of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, when he was in charge of the Nigeria national team.

The NFF sacked Rohr from his role last Sunday and appointed former Eagles captain, Augustine Eguavoen, on interim basis pending the appointment of a permanent boss.

Speaking with ESPN, Rohr revealed he didn’t follow some of the suggestions of the officials because he wanted to make players’ selection with his technical staff and not with people from outside the team. Cleaning Services In Nigeria

“I know Nigerians are passionate about football and everyone has their own favorites and I understand that everybody wants to see some players and we discussed it,” Rohr said.

“Perhaps I didn’t follow some of the suggestions and the advice of the officials; that is possible because I wanted to make the choice (selections) with my technical staff and not with people from outside the team.

“I had a lot of suggestions. I understand that officials want us to do well, everyone wants to bring in their advice and opinion, but it was too much.”

Trying to cover up for you incompetence

While the coach has his own faults, I think NFF as a whole should be sacked, imagine our players had to protests to get their allowances.Corruption at every stage , even our assistant coach was accused of bribery. Sentimental appointment of Yobo who previously said he does not have any interest in coaching.NFF is a failure

There u go

Why did you appoint him as a coach in the first place

NFF n Rohr are both unserious

Yes we Sabi. They want to impose federal character on the coach. Instead of allowing the in form and qualified players to be in the team... They'll bring in average players that are using iron seat belt at their clubs to come and be representing the super eagles in the name of stupid federal character.

Ok

Tactic-less coach

Corrupt nff

If you had listen to some of the advice maybe players like shehu and musa will not be getting invitation.

Now you have been sacked

Quite true, over to Nairaland in house football pundits

Rohr was stubborn
And it didn't justify anything, its just he helped convince some players to switch allegiance

Too late to cry....

Issorite. You must not take everyone's advice. That will make you a puppet.

You may not have been the best coach for the Super Eagles but I think you did well.

Most of our players are truly just average, only a handful of top quality players.

Nigerian leaders with the politicking nature.
