“Mr Cuper is ever ready to work in Africa with Nigeria and Ghana as countries of preference because of the abundance of talents. We had hoped to land Ghana job but GFA decided to close its door on foreign coaches and settled for Charles Akunor. Our attention was shifted to Nigeria and we felt salary problem between Rohr and Nigeria might be a problem.
“But its looks impossible now that Nigeria has decided to extend Rohr’s contract.”
