The National Association of Nigeria Footballers (NANF) wishes to state categorically that Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr does not deserve a new contract except there is something special his employers, the NFF, are benefiting from his contract that Nigerians do not know.
What have been Gernot Rohr’s achievements since he was contracted by the NFF?
Nigeria qualified to play in the round of 16 in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil under coach Stephen Keshi of blessed memory. Nigeria won the AFCON 2013 under same Stephen Keshi.
What has Gernot Rohr achieved for Nigeria? What was his score card at the 2018 World Cup in Russia? Nigeria never went past the group stage.
Again what did Gernot Rohr achieve at the 2019 AFCON? A bronze medal that our indigenous coaches have also achieved severally.
Under Samson Siasia, Nigeria won Olympic silver medal in China and won bronze in Brazil, he also won silver for Nigeria at the U20 World Cup in Holland.
Even though coach Samson Siasia has not been found guilty by the Court of Arbitration for Sports ( CAS) the NFF have long abandoned him over allegations of match-fixing, while top officials of the NFF, who are being hounded daily on allegations of massive corruption by the EFCC and ICPC, cling desperately to their jobs.
Since assuming duty as Super Eagles coach how many players has Gernot Rohr discovered from our domestic leagues?
Coaches Clemens Westerhof and Jo Bonfrere’s records in talents discovery and development speak for themselves.
If the NFF must employ a foreign coach, he must be an A-List coach or in the alternative employ our indigenous coaches for the Super Eagles.
It’s unacceptable to continue to use Nigeria as a dumping ground for third-rate foreign coaches.
Thus the NANF rejects Gernot Rohr.
