Super Eagles
coach, Gernot Rohr has been paid his full salary for November and December.
Disclosing
this yesterday, President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju
Pinnick said the Franco-German coach has also been offered a two-year extension
to his contract with the Super Eagles. Pinnick, while speaking during the
unveiling of the unique campaign to fly 100 lucky fans to watch the Super
Eagles live at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, said the
football-governing body was keen to keep
Coach Rohr to continue his great developmental work with the senior national
team.
The CAF Executive Committee member also said the NFF was keen to tidy up
all grey areas surrounding the new deal offered to Rohr in order to forestall
an imminent poaching from Germany and France, who, he claimed, are monitoring
the progress of the former Burkina Faso coach with the Super Eagles.
‘’Coach
Rohr has done well with our team and we are pleased with the new direction that
he has given to our football and that is why we have paid him his salary up
till December. We have also offered him a two year extension to his contract
and we hope that after all the legal issues are settled that we would sign the
deal very soon. ‘’We want to sign him quickly so as to prevent the likes of
Germany from poaching him from us after the World Cup, when we would have done
so well in Russia’’, added Pinnick.
