Super Eagle 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.
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 revealed that the NFF and Rohr will
enter negotiations from January next year as the Franco-German will by
then have six months 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.
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.
