Gernot Rohr is “100% gone as the government do not want him” as Super Eagles coach, according to former national team spokesman Idah Peterside.
Peterside also added on SuperSport TV tonight that the NFF have also told Rohr they can no longer guarantee his personal safety because of the anger against him in the country.
He further said the NFF are locked in negotiations with the lawyers of the 68-year-old coach for him to be paid off with a year’s salary.
“They do not want a legal argument like talking about his breaching his contract by not staying for as long as six months in Nigeria, and would rather an amicable settlement is reached between the parties,” Peterside revealed.
“He should just take his payoff.”
In the meantime, the former Super Eagles goalkeeper has backed Emmanuel Amuneke to lead the country to the delayed AFCON in Cameroon with a foreign coach coming in for the final 2022 World Cup playoffs in March 2022.
He suggested Amuneke lead a Super Eagles coaching crew that should include Salisu Yusuf, Joseph Yobo as well as Finidi George to Cameroon.
