Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has reportedly been sacked, Newspremises has gathered.
The decision to relief Rohr of his role as the Eagles head coach, was taken after a company associated with the team agreed to pay the termination clause in his contract.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has already communicated the decision to the coach and has commenced the search for his perfect replacement, who will pilot the affairs of the team for the 2022 World Cup play off and Africa cup of Nation, starting January.
This comes after Nigerian fans and former footballers insisted that Gernot Rohr, must be sacked by NFF following the team’s lacklustre home draw against Cape Verde at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos on Tuesday.
Newspremises recalls that, it was a nervy moment across the country as the Eagles played a 1-1 draw to book a place in the final round of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The Eagles were pegged backwards towards the end of the final Group C game as Pedro Brito’s men pushed forward in search of the winning goal that could have seen them overtake Nigeria on the table.
Despite the Eagles’ qualification for the play-offs next March, fans were left unconvinced by the performance of the team and Rohr’s conservative approach, and once again called for the sack of the Franco-German tactician.
Former England striker of Nigerian descent John Fashanu said Rohr should have been sacked long before now.
