According to Owngoal, Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has been sacked as coach of the Nigeria Senior National team.
The decision to sack the Franco-German gaffer was taken after a company associated with the senior National team of Nigeria, agreed to pay the termination clause in the contract of the coach.
The Nigeria football Federation (NFF) have communicated the decision to the former Niger and Burkina Faso coach, and have started the search for a new coach who will pilot the affairs of the team for the 2022 World Cup Play offs, and also the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon next year.
Nigeria will face any of Ghana, Egypt, Cameroon, Mali or DR Congo for a place at Qatar 2022.

Praise GOD ALMIGHTY & The Spiritual Hosts of Our Land Nigeria. I fervently hope this is news in not a Poju Poju news? It is will be an understate to say ‘Good Riddance of Rotten Rubbish’. I pray the NFF for once will recruit a sound Technical Trainer and an efficient Man Manager both will cooperate to prepare the national for knock out phases for Qatar WC 2022 & Cameroun AFCON 2022.

This is the most heartwarming decision to safe Nigeria from shame on the footballing arena.

Long overdue. I have never been convinced with his tactics. It took him how many years to have a steady team? Aside that, he was never available to look at the home base guys. Not all that are abroad are that spectacular, we have some good guys in our local league as well. we need to encourage them. He should just go abeg.

On the contrary, our home base players can’t fit in because they lack the experience and are not good enough. However, Genet Rhor is never a tactician from day one.

Sacking him to me doesn’t mean he can’t fit any other club in the world brother, but super eagles of Nigeria in history have gone far beyond his knowledge and enthusiasm. If I were to be in that team as a local champion bro, that man can hardly motivate me. Is the club now a freestyle that he cannot be decisive with what he want. Those achievements you talk about are just luck. You should know that it is only the coaches body language that changes game while on the pitch, but that guy’s body language is not in existence again, take it or leave it

Football is no longer easy ooo.. the team is going through a bad time and the players are so lackluster and uncommitted.
