Newly appointed Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr signed on by the NFF with the mandate to qualify Nigeria for the 2018 World Cup with a monthly salary of $40,000 has said he cannot guarantee Nigeria’s qualification for the Mundial scheduled for Russia.

This, he claims, is because the Super Eagles are in a tough group and it requires hard work for the team to top the group regarded as the toughest in the African qualifiers.

“There is no guarantee that the Super Eagles will be in Russia because there is so much quality in our group but the motivation is very high,” added Rohr.

The coach who was speaking in Uyo ahead of Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations tie disclosed that he will hold talks with Vincent Enyeama with a view to making him change his mind on his forced retirement.

Enyeama quit in 2015 after a bust up with coach Sunday Oliseh in Belgium but Rohr said the goalkeeper regarded as Nigeria’s best in recent times still has much to offer to the national team.

“I plan to meet with Enyeama after the game against Tanzania, I will most likely meet him in and see how best I can persuade him to come out of international retirement as he is still very much vital to our plans of reaching Russia 2018,” said Rohr in Uyo.

Stressing that he is not bothered with the likelihood of working and not being paid by Nigeria Football Federation, Rohr said,

“I was owed between 6-8 months in Niger. I’m used to being owed in Africa. I have a contract and I am focusing on honouring it.

Mr man, I dissenter, because that was why you were offered the contract in the first place, so you can't continue to pocket about $40,000 every month and other allowances without results. You better retract that statement and ensure Nigeria qualifies.

this is funny. seems the Eclipse has shone on him and reset factory settings.


it's true sha.


But irrespective, I wan Obagoal back in this team. Dunno about rugged Isaac Success.

need a physical attacking trio to play Cameroun and Zambia.


Ighalo, Success, Martins.

“There is no guarantee that the Super Eagles will be in Russia because there is so much quality in our group but the motivation is very high,” added Rohr.

More like saying he doesn't guarantee his own success, cos that's why he is hired!

Who still watch supper Eagles match... tarr! instead I will use my precious time to play mortal combat... finish him

And to think this man coached Niger.

Mtcheww.

So they hired a Specialist In Failure yet they cant pay a coach that won us an olympic medal? NFF... Nigeria Federation of Fools.

“I was owed between 6-8 months in Niger. I’m used to being owed in Africa. I have a contract and I am focusing on honouring it.

okay, thanks for telling us about your arrears in Niger, But why not also include that you did not record any meaningful achievements in Niger?

You generalised Africans are as not being able to pay football coaches, well, I blame NFF for perfectly organising mechanisms through which you will be paid, And failing to do so for Siasia who just recorded success in Rio.

Another failed promise..useless government

He should please just resign straight.
We are already in an economic hopelessness caused by a hopeless president. We don't need anybody that will take our only source of happiness from us.
Hope he doesn't blame Sunday Oliseh for not planning for the future when he eventually fails as it seems he is being schooled by one Mr. Lai.

But he wants a guaranteed 18million a month


Thunder fire nff

We can't guarantee that your Job is safe .

Use ur head once in a while.

it is becoming boring.

How is this APC government's business.

You guys scream Buhari is a dullard without any bright suggestion on what he should have done better.

Don't know what to say . . .

Even Nigerians don't have faith in NFF, Rohr and Super Eagles to deliver Worldcup qualification.

In fact, Nigerians have lost faith in Nigeria at the moment.

The Super Eagles spurned their chance of making it to the African Nations Cup , now they aint sure of qualifying for the world cup ?

...and the mumu nff wud let him stay,for $40k/monthly he beta take us to russia...

.sometimes our leaders wanna me puke..fvck pinik.

Rohr, you get mind o...you are telling NFF that you don't mind being owed? Okay then, E don be for you be that!

He should resign already

gud coach thank you for telling Nigerians the truth that we should not be expecting any positive change than coming out to brag that you going to qualify and at the end fail.

World cup no be our birthright

Only an inexperienced or foolish man would guarantee such success. A wise man would take it one game at a time. Well said Rohr.

from his last statement, why do africa like owing staff? i mean this is madness.. hw then do u expect good performance?
