Lawyers representing Gernot Rohr have proposed that his employers NFF pay him off through their annual FIFA subvention.
The amount of the severance payoff is the stumbling block to an official announcement by the NFF that Rohr has been relieved of the Super Eagles top post.
The NFF have already proposed to pay him a year’s salary, which comes to about $600,000, for him to step down.
However, it appears Rohr’s lawyers want a lot more.
Their proposal will besides the severance payoff include penalty payments.
It has been reported that the severance payoff is $2 Million should the NFF be the ones terminating the contract of the coach.
As first reported by SCORENigeria, the lawyers representing Rohr will meet with the NFF Tuesday to hammer out this payoff.
Rohr has a contract till December 2022.
Finally, Amanju Pinnick’s inefficiency as NFF President has again been exposed. He was responsible for the renewal of the coach’s contract conscious of the fact he was not up to the job. Hiring a mediocre coach with no recognizable football resume. EFCC should investigate Pinnick for fraud by proxy. As a matter of fact the entire NFF board is complicit in this disgraceful episode. 5 years of football program wasted due to greed.
