Rohr arrives, no accommodation yet

Newly appointed coach of the Super Eagles Genort Rohr may begin his stint with the Super Eagles with argument as he is yet to be given the accommodation he was promised by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), as contained in his contract.


Rohr will arrive Nigeria tonight, ahead of his first training session on Tuesday with the Nigeria senior national team, in preparation for the dead rubber AFCON 2017 tie against Tanzania in Uyo.

However, it appears he will head back to France after the game instead of staying behind to prosecute his plans of scouting local talents from the league in preparation for the first World Cup 2018 qualifiers tie against Zambia.

The reason why he could be heading back is according to him, the accommodation he was promised when he signed his two year deal to coach Nigeria is not yet ready.

Osasu Obayiuwana who has been keeping in touch with the German, posted on twitter, a bit of the chat he had with the new Super Eagles boss, where the manager made it known that he is ready to reside in Nigeria once the accommodation is ready.

“I am looking forward to settling down in Abuja, as soon as my apartment, as promised by the NFF is arranged” he said

“I will be watching league matches across Nigeria to search for talents, in addition to using the players in Europe”.
