“We have laid a good foundation for this team from the Russia 2018 World Cup squad we have some quality and very good players to build on. We have gone a step further to improve on the team with the introduction of very young but talented players like Samuel Kalu, Semi Ajayi, Samuel Chukwueze and Jamilu Collins.

“We are still searching for more but a few that have special qualities and must be better than the players we already have in the team.

“My major work is to monitor them I’m their clubs to know their playing conditions and to be able to help them if the need arises”, Rohr disclosed to Sportinglife.ng from his base in France.

Rohr between November and now has attended matches in France and Germany to watch live League, Champions League and Europa League matches involving Super Eagles players.
