Report had emerged on various online yesterday claiming that the German tactician has been sacked by the NFF.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has described as untrue the report that it has sacked Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr.
NFF President, Mr Amaju Pinnick, while reacting to the development Thursday, stated that no such decision has been taken but noted that the board is studying the report of the technical committee on Tuesday’s world cup qualifying match between the Super Eagles and the Blue Eagles of Cape Verde.
“The Board of the NFF is studying the report of the Technical Committee, which it submitted after the match against Cape Verde in Lagos on Tuesday. There are a number of possibilities, but we have not taken a decision to sack Gernot Rohr. I want to assure that whatever decision is eventually taken will be one that will please the generality of Nigerians.

“Rohr has a contract with the NFF and there is a procedure for disengagement. If we get to that bridge, both parties will look at the contract and see what has to be done both ways. The Super Eagles’ squad is a national asset and we are just fortunate to be in that space to take decisions. Any decision we take must be what will be acceptable to Nigerians from far and near,” he said.
