No Agreement On Severance Package With NFF – Rohr

Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr, has exclusively told newsmen that he is yet to agree on a severance package with the Nigerian Football Federation.
Several online platforms had reported that the Franco-German had agreed an N370 million severance package to step down as Eagles coach.
The reports also revealed that NFF and the sports ministry would meet this week to finalise details concerning Rohr’s disengagement as well as the new man to lead the national team.
When asked, Rohr told Tidesports source that he had agreed a deal to leave his post as Eagles coach, the 68-year-old who had earlier told said that he was still in charge of the team but revealed the NFF wanted him to quit the team replied, “There is no agreement for the moment.”
He also remains hopeful of leading the Eagles to the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
“Hopefully, we will be in charge to lead the team to the AFCON.”
Nigeria have been drawn alongside Egypt, Guinea Bissau and Sudan in Group D.
The Eagles will face Egypt in their opening game on January 11 in Garoua before taking on Sudan four days later.
Rohr has come under heavy criticism following the Eagles’ lacklustre 1-1 draw against Cape Verde in their final Group C World Cup qualifier in Lagos.
The three-time African champions, finished top of Group C with 13 points to qualify for the World Cup playoffs next March but there have been calls for Rohr’s sack after another disappointing display by the Eagles, who have struggled against lesser opposition in recent times.
Rohr, who is currently being owed two months’ salary by the NFF has one year left on his current deal.
He was appointed in 2016 and has recorded 28 wins, 13 draws and 13 defeats in the 54 games he has been in charge of the team.
