Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot Rohr will be offered a chance to extend his stay with the team after revelations emanating from the NFF indicate that both parties will enter contract negotiations in January 2020, AOIFootball.com can authoritatively confirm.

The Franco-German, who is under contract till the summer of next year, has been in the spotlight for a couple of weeks following media speculations that the NFF will ditch him by June next year when his contract expires.

However, further investigations by AOIFootball.com reveal that the NFF and Rohr will enter negotiations from January next year as the Franco-German will by then have six month left on his current deal.

“Under the contact it says the parties can negotiate extension 6 months before it expires so we are due to start negotiations from January 1, 2020 and have uptil June 30 to agree extension or otherwise.

“We have two important matches next week and that should be the major focus,” a top source in the NFF revealed to AOIFootball.com.

The 66-year-old began his reign as Super Eagles coach in August 2016, taking over from Sunday Oliseh and has since led the country to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, as well as clinching Bronze at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt.

Some NFF guys reportedly feel that he has been ungrateful with those comments after they had protected his job following public outcry for his firing after the WC. This situation is behind the non-talk about renewal. The reality is that Rohr has to continue to have the SE produce good results because more than likely a renewal will be delayed as the NFF seek a way to let him go. If he keeps winning, however, it will be tough for NFF to achieve that objective except if a controversy is manufactured. Please note that I have not cited a source, deliberately. This can be considered a rumor mixed with my opinion about a possible future outcome.

... that's what I thought as well. Coach Rohr has done very well for us and must be retained, unless he wants to be left alone by Nigeria

Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot Rohr has revealed a very strong chance of him staying beyond next summer after admitting that he needs to start grooming a team that will challenge for the 2021 AFCON, AOIFootball.com reports.

The Franco-German, whose contract expires in June 2020, revealed that he isn’t bothered about the current situation but remains focused on getting the job done on the field of play.

“I have to work, the contract is not a problem. I think by the end of the year, I will discuss it with the FA. No distraction for me, but it’s time to have a new project to win the next AFCON.

“I start now with the AFCON qualifiers and don’t know if I will finish it but it’s not really a problem but our project must be made for at least 3 years because what we want to do is to also go to the next World Cup and also have a good philosophy too,” Rohr added.

The 66-year-old took over as coach in 2015 and has since guided Nigeria to a place at the 2018 World Cup, as well as a bronze medal the last AFCON in Egypt.
