Whatever happens with the Super Eagles at the AFCON in Egypt, coach Gernot Rohr will be fired according to Sporting Life.
Three-time African champions Nigeria, who are ranked 42nd in the world by FIFA, lost 2-0 to debutants Madagascar, who are 108th in the world, Sunday to finish runners-up in Group B of the AFCON.
The daily all-sports newspaper quoted top NFF officials that whatever the outcome of the Eagles outing at the AFCON, Rohr will be sent packing.
The report said lawyers are currently studying how best to terminate his contract.
Last week, news broke that he is owed several months’ pay and a World Cup bonus promised him since 2017 had not been kept.
Rohr, 66, is in the final year of his contract after he extended his tenure by two more years just before last year’s World Cup.
He qualified the country to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where the team failed to go past the first round.
Rohr also led the Eagles to the 2019 AFCON after they failed to qualify for the previous two editions back-to-back.
