SAN FRANCISCO, November 29, (THEWIILL) – German Gernot Rohr has signed a new two-year contract with Nigeria after guiding the Super Eagles through the qualification for the FIFA World Cup finals.
The German coach has been in charge for 12 matches since taking over 15 months ago, recording seven wins, four draws and a defeat.
This was revealed by Amaju Pinnick, President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
“He has done very well and does not need to go into the World Cup uncertain of his future,” he said.
The 64-year-old Rohr oversaw the Super Eagles’ qualification for Russia in October, when Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Zambia.
Nigeria, who have not gone further than the round of 16 in five previous World Cup finals, are hoping to avoid financial squabbles that have marred their previous participation in the tournament.
The NFF has set an end-of-year deadline to conclude talks on win bonuses and issues surrounding payment for qualifying
