The Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF) has chosen Gernot Rohr, a German manager and former
footballer, as a coach of the Super Eagles.
Amaju Pinnickm, the NFF president, confirmed the latest information and said that Mr Rohr will arrive Lagos on Saturday.
There, he will watch the
league match between Ikorodu United and Sunshine Stars. On Monday he is
expected to visit Abuja, where he will be introduced to Nigerians as a
new coach.
Pinnick
commented on the development: “We are just tying up the little details
left to be handled. The work started quite a while ago but there was the
need to wait until everything firmed up before making it public.”
Rohr is currently working on development programmes for the German football association (DFB).
Last
year he was sacked by Burkina Faso national football team as manager. He
was shortlisted for the Guinea national team job in July 2016.
