Rohr cries out: My Eagles future after 2020 doubtful
Gernot Rohr has expressed doubts about his future with the Super Eagles with his contract expected to expire in June 2020 and his employers not initiating talks of a renewal.
From all indications, Rohr will remain in his role as Head Coach when Nigeria’s 2021 AFCON qualifiers get underway in November 2019, but the German’s contract runs out in the course of it.
In an interview with Osasu Obayiuwana [BBC World Football], the 66-year-old insisted that he would like to continue on the job, but worried that there are no talks of a renewal on the table yet.
“I want to achieve big things with Nigeria. I can see what the future can produce. I hope I can work with President Pinnick (Amaju) to achieve those things. But I don’t know my situation after June 2020. We have to see what happens.
“As is known, my current contract with the Super Eagles runs till June 2020. This ends right in the middle of the qualifying campaign for the 2021 AFCON.
