Rohr: I’m not scared of Eagles sack



SUPER Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, says he is not scared of getting fired from his current position by the Nigeria Football Federation if his team fails to perform to their satisfaction at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

The Franco-German who joined the Eagles in 2016 has qualified the team to two AFCON competitions and the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Speaking to Elegbete TV, Rohr says he is confident the country will do well at the 2021 AFCON with the quality of players in the squad, he also stated that he is not scared of getting sacked if they fail to achieve the federation’s desired target in Cameroon

“When I was coming to Nigeria, I signed that the job is done if I don’t qualify for the World Cup, the second time I also signed that the job will be done if I don’t qualify for the AFCON and the third time I agreed that the job is done if we don’t do well at the AFCON,” Rohr told Elegbete TV.

“You can only stay in a country if the results are good, you have to go if it isn’t. Some coaches won’t but I agreed.”

Nigeria have been paired alongside seven-time AFCON champions, Egypt as well as Guinea-Bissau and Sudan in Group D.

Rohr led Nigeria to a third spot finish at the last AFCON in Egypt and will hope to go a step higher next year in neighbouring Cameroon.

If somebody says they are not scared of something, it confirms that they are really scared of that something. Cut him loose!

See mentality.

What is there to be scared of? Coaches with much bigger names in bigger football countries get sacked all the time. You don't have infer dome twisted logic to try to make sense. You know what? The next after Rohr will likely get sacked too.

Simply put, Rohr "doesn't give a flying f#$k" on whatever outcome his fate brings WIN OR LOSE, the fact he expressed this undiluted gangster mindset just when a crucial WCQ is about to start leaves more room for concern.

7 months without pay in Nigeria is nothing. NFF knows they have to pay him or risk major fines from FIFA. Coach Rohr can chill with peace of mind that the loot is on the way of there's no Nigerian football.

If I was in his shoes, I will not quit. You have a contract and it will be honored. The contract does not expire until after the wcqs i believe. I will stay on, if I was in his shoes unless th we NFF offers a buy out deal.

Prof, na play I dey play, but truth is he won’t find this kind of opportunity to do something at the ANC and go to another WC if he quit. If any country na so so Niger and South Sudan go hire am…

True,it’s not as if he has done much.

...7 months of no pay is savings in the bank waiting to be collected. When and if the hammer falls on the NFA (by the world court) to pay, the man will easily collect heavy with interest.

The real bone of contention hasn't been the results but the performances.

Our exhilarating attacking and creative play has been replaced with a style of play that most fans find unpalatable..

My post achieved its goal of baiting haters into spewing garbage from their mouth.

How about him just shutting the f*ck up? The same advice applies to you as well.

But you don't think he might have been asked the specific question?
Seems you'd prefer he responded by telling the journalist to STFU.

Interesting.

since you cannot argue against the results, (which have been better than the vast majority of SE coaches) you must move on to something SUBJECTIVE.

"style of play" and "performance" appear to be the ones the die hard critics focus on yet again if one truly looks this is just another meaningless criticism.

Rohr's eagles have played many exciting matches with plenty of attacking flair and play and cohesion, (both Lesotho matches, Sierra Leone first 70 minutes, Brazil, Ukraine, Benin match we totally dominated, both recent Cameroon matches we dominated despite missing the majority of our first team)

but so long as "style of play" is SUBJECTIVE, the haters can always complain and claim Rohr is failing in this regard.

the OBJECTIVE truth is that Rohr has continued to get the job done, despite not being paid for how long, and having to deal with all the NFF rubbish.

I personally can beef with Rohr regarding some of his selections, but he is getting the job done, and should it continue with these 2 matches it would just be a continuation of what he has been doing.

Full interview

I have to give it up to Rohr.

He was asked "why not call up local players?"

He reacted angrily "Why do I always get asked this question ? You saw what happened in Los angeles. THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH"



He then said there is pressure from agents to get these local players into SE so they can get deals to Europe.

I have my criticisms of Rohr, but I like the man, he is correct on these issues and I will trust him to handle SE more than any of the crooks we have had in the recent past. Or those currently jostling for his position.
