Breaking: Gernot Rohr Abandons Super Eagles

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are in a plight of coachless adventure as it is just 67 days to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2019, and the Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot Rohr has decided to draw the curtains closed for the job.

This sudden resignation could be a heavy blow to the Super Eagles since the continent's greatest football competitions- the AFCON,  is just three months to go.

According to Concise News, Rohr announced that he is leaving his role in Nigeria– a decision that caught many football fans from all over the continent by surprise.

In a letter addressed to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) dated 1st April, 2019, the former Bordeaux manager confirms his departure. He attributes his decision to contract violations and backlog of unpaid salaries by the NFF.

A part of the letter reads: “Due to contract violations, unpaid wages, benefits to my players, Assistant Coaches and myself, I resign as Super Eagles Chief Coach.”

Rohr, 65, was appointed as Super Eagles boss in August 2016 and took charge of the Eagles 26 times. He won 14 of those games and as well leading the Super Eagles to become the first African side to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup after a 1–0 win against Zambia.
