Super Eagles coach. Gernot Rohr has vowed to secure a fourth Africa Cup of Nations trophy for Nigeria, the sportsbay.com reports.
Rohr, 66, has renewed his contract till 2022 after he agreed to a pay cut in the local currency and reside in the country.

Officials said the German-born coach will earn $49,000 (N18m) a month instead of the $55,000 (N21m) stipulated in his previous contract and he will live in Nigeria for at least 10 months a year.

This is a special job because this is my team, I built it with my staff,” the former Niger and Gabon coach said Monday on local television.

“It’s a very young team, but the mission is not finished yet, so we want to continue.

“We all have to make sacrifices and I will be the first.”

Rohr said the target is to be champions of Africa again. The Super Eagles have won the Africa Cup of Nations three times – in 1980, 1994 and 2013.

“Let’s qualify for (the Nations Cup) and then we want to win it. We have a good team, we’re now number three in Africa. When I arrived (in 2016), we were number 13.

“We have worked together for the past four years and I hope we can progress.”

Rohr led Nigeria to third place at last year’s Africa Cup in Egypt, where they lost 2-1 to eventual champions Algeria in the semi-finals after conceding a stoppage-time goal.
