Gernot Rohr remains the best man for the Super Eagles-Pinnick

Gernot Rohr remains the best man for the Super Eagles and deserved to
keep his job.

Though were some agitations regarding the contract of Gernot, after
some reorganization of its contractual terms which left the NFF and
Rohr on a thinking moment for the best outcome.

conditions and signed a new two and half year deal with the Nigeria
Football Federation last week to put an end to an end to all the
speculations linking him away from the job.

Pinnick said the Federation is happy with the Franco-German coach
regardless of reports going round in the media.

“We are of the view and conviction that Mr. Gernot Rohr deserves to
continue the job he is doing with the Super Eagles. I believe he has
earned it. He had a right of first refusal so it was not a problem. We
included a few other things in his contract but at the end of the day,
we were able to come to an agreement.”

On the Super Eagles, The former CAF 1st vice president said he’s happy
with the current squad and he’s optimistic the team will bring joy to
Nigerians.

“Presently, I am proud of the squad that we have. Without gainsaying,
we have good players competing for every department on the field in
the Super Eagles squad. It is exciting and we believe the team is on
to a good thing. It is important that we work with him to nurture
together a team that we can all be proud of.” he said.

Thankfully, the Nigeria’s Super Eagles will still be managed by Rohr.
