The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has refuted reports it has sacked Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr.
Various media reports on Thursday claimed the federation has relieved Rohr the 68-year-old of his duties after Nigeria’s unconvincing display against Cape Verde in their final 2022 World Cup qualifier.
The NFF President Amaju Pinnick denied all the reports but did not discard the possibility of parting ways with the German.
“The Board of the NFF is studying the report of the Technical Committee which it submitted after the match against Cape Verde on Tuesday,” Pinnick said.
“There are a number of possibilities but we have not taken a decision to sack Gernot Rohr.
“I want to assure that whatever decision is eventually taken will be one that will please the generality of Nigerians. Mr. Rohr has a contract with the NFF and there is a procedure for disengagement.
“If we get to that bridge, both parties will look at the contract and see what has to be done both ways.
“The Super Eagles’ squad is a national asset and we are just fortunate to be in that space to take decisions. Any decision we take must be what will be acceptable to Nigerians from far and near.”
Gernot Rohr has been in charge of the Nigeria national team since 2016.
