Dare saves Rohr’s job as Super Eagles coach

Gernot Rohr

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, is expected to lead the team to the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

This cheering news comes amidst rumours of his sack by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

The much talked about sacking of Rohr by the NFF has turned out to be a huge joke as according to reports, the Franco-German coach is staying put as Super Eagles coach and will be in the dugout when Nigeria begins her campaign in the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

It is also likely he stays put even beyond the AfCON.

Rohr’s continuous reign was made possible by the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr Sunday Dare who, in his meeting with the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation, persuaded them to sheath their sword and allow the coach to continue.

The Minister advanced his reasons which, according to a source, sounded logical and convincing.

In 1998, Phillipe Troussier qualified Nigeria for the France ’98 World Cup but was however sacked.

The reason was simply that he was not rated a world-class coach and that Nigeria needed one to go to the World Cup.

Just before the tournament, Bora Milutinovic was engaged and his campaign in France was disappointing as Nigeria had the talents to perform better than their second-round outing.

The same step was taken before 2002 Korea/Japan after Ahmadu Shaibu qualified the country for the World Cup, but was sacked and replaced with Adeboye Onigbinde.

Again, Nigeria failed in the world football competition.

Just before the 2010 World Cup, hosted in Africa for the first time, Lars Lagarback was called in to replace Amodu Shaibu.

Nigeria exited early in the tournament as well.

These were some of the arguments the minister advanced at his meeting with the NFF that resulted in Gernot Rohr subsisting as coach of the Super Eagles ahead of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
