NFF Offers Rohr New Contract With Tough Conditions

[emjay]

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has offered Super Eagles boss, Gernot Rohr a brand new contract, but under tough conditions.

Rohr on his own part is open to listening to offers from other football associations (FA) from January 1, 2020, but the NFF wants to retain the German until after the World Cup in 2022.

According to Complete Sports, the terms and conditions gathered will require that the former Bordeaux player and chief coach “must” live in the country (Lagos or Abuja).

He will also be allowed to travel on vacation only 3 times in a year. Also, the coach will not get an improved pay from his $55,000 per month deal.
The NFF will also ensure, unlike in the past three years where he earned wages tax free, that his income will be levied.

All his selections must be approved by the NFF Technical Committee.

With All these conditions, do you think Rohr will still remain with the eagles?

So he wasnt paying tax to FIRS?

[EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA]

Why must he live in Nigeria? Rohr should turn it down.

Why must he live in Nigeria? Rohr should turn it down.

He must discuss and clarify the living in Nigeria issue - even NFF president so not live in Nigeria 24/7

So they are in effect, cutting his salary. If you don't want the man, be honorable and tell him so.

[Purity]

Not really.. It depends on how much increase he is being offered.

Pretty much.

Don't understand why he has to live in Naijaria. It is not like he is scouting the Naijarian league. Aside from Ezenwa, all his players are based overseas.
Also don't like that some stinking Technical Committee will be overseeing his invites.

Resign the man and let him work.

Don't go handcuffing him.


Ps., I wonder the targets they set for him?

[Damunk]

None, according to the article.

lol jokers

[bushboy]

Nothing "tough" about those conditions.

You have to give it to Pinnick... He claims to 'talk a good game', but delivers piss poor results.

Rohr was probably paying income tax in Madagascar or France or Germany or had off shore tax agreement.

We have mumu in NFF.

He can't pay tax to FIRS, he will pay to the IRS of the state he resides or receives his salary. WanajO can clarify.

[Enugu II]

If most of the SE are based in England, should he then reside in England? Better still, because his players are based all over, where should he reside? Or if the administrators who seek to meet him regularly are based in Nigeria, where should he reside? Just my tuppence.

Which top teams does their coaches live abroad?
Westerhoff’s living in Naija allowed him to unearth gems like Amokashi.
Who Rohr don discover?

you guys better stop wasting your time - sake Rohr and put Salisu assisted by Amakapabo abi HE will live 24/7 in Nigeria

No world class decent coach will never accept to live 24/7 in Nigeria as part of his contract. As if the local league runs on a structural scheduled timescale

These no-tax arrangements are not as rare as they may sound. It just means that the NFF was probably covering his taxes, and has elected to stop doing that....translates into a salary reduction. And I don't see how anyone would accept such a condition

[Bigpokey24]

We need a new manager..let him go

[olu]

Our best players are Europe. Makes no sense for him to live in Nigeria. Things are different now compared to Westerhof's time.

[Eaglezbeak]

Nigeria doesn’t even have a league that produces players for it national team!

[Odas]

Why must he live in Nigeria? Rohr should turn it down.

Bros, why must he NOT live in Nigeria? Don't you live, or base in the city your employer is?

On the other hand, it's an offer tendered by the NFF. It's up to Rohr to negotiate, accept or decline

So, why is he not living in Europe?

Agree! I think Rohr's income tax was paid by the NFF, perhaps as stipulated in the contract. Why the NFF is refusing to continue paying for it and yet, wants coach Rohr's salary to remain the same is suspicious. Maybe they want coach Rohr to leave.

Having said the above, it's ONLY an offer by the NFF. Rohr and his team will certainly counter.

[Odas]

There you go again with your 'Rohr must go' song. When are you going to be realistic in the matter?

But this cannot be considered a good faith offer. A reduction in salary is like pretty much telling him he isn't really wanted.
