President of Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick , has listed conditions for the contract renewal of Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr.
Rohr’s current contract is due to expire in June 2020 and there are reports that the NFF will not extend the deal following the German tactician’s failure to abide with some terms of the existing contract.
There are also reports of frosty relationship between the pair.
Pinnick however has stated that the NFF is open to renewing the contract of the former Bordeaux handler who took charge of the Super Eagles in August 2016 and led the team to a third place finish at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals in Egypt.
“Rohr’s contract is due for renewal in June and we don’t have any issue with him at the moment,” Pinnick stated in a live interview with Channels Television on Monday morning.
”Contracts are classified documents . What we are going to do is strengthen the clauses in his contract. We are going to domesticate Gernot Rohr in Nigeria and domesticate him to our leagues, that’s just it.
”He needs to move around, watch some of the league games. We are not saying take a player from here and bring him to the Super Eagles immediately”.
The Super Eagles will host the Squirrels of Benin in a 2021 AFCON qualifying fixture on Wednesday at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium, Uyo.
