The National Association of Nigeria Footballers, NANF, has told Nigeria Football Federation, NFF Not to offer German Coach, Gernot Rohr a new contract stating the the Super Eagles handler added no value to the national team, Bestchoicesports.com.ng can report

NANF President, Harrison Jalla, in a release made available to our correspondent said that unless there is any selfish interest in the contract, Rohr does not deserve a new contract.

The NANF queried Rohr’s achievements with the Eagles stating that former National coach, Stephen Keshi too the Super Eagles to round of 16 in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil but Rohr Fails to progress from the group stage at the Russia 2018 World Cup

“We wish to state categorically that Super Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr does not deserve a new contract except there is something special his employers the NFF are benefiting from his contract that Nigerians do not know.

“What is Coach Gernot Rohr’s achievement since he was contracted by the NFF? Nigeria qualified to play in the round of 16 in the 2014 world cup in Brazil under late coach Stephen Keshi of blessed memory. Nigeria won the AFCON 2013 under same Stephen Keshi.

“What has Gernot Rohr achieved for Nigeria? What was his scorecard in the 2018 world cup in Russia? Nigeria never went past the group stage.

“Again what did Gernot Rohr achieve in the 2019 AFCON? A bronze medal that our indigenous coaches have also achieved. Under Coach Samson Siasia Nigeria won Olympic silver medal in China and won Bronze in Brazil he also won silver for Nigeria in the under 21 world cup in Holland. Even though coach Samson Siasia has not been found guilty by the court of Arbitration for sports ( CAS), the NFF has long abandoned him over allegation of match fixing while top officials of the NFF being hounded daily for allegations of massive corruption by the EFCC and ICPC are clinging desperately to their Jobs.

“Since assuming duty as Super Eagles coach, how many players has Gernot Rohr discovered from our Domestic leagues? Coaches Clemens Westerhof and Jo Bonfrere’s records in talents discovery and development speaks for itself.

“If the NFF must employ a Foreign coach, he must be an A-List coach or in the alternative employ our indigenous coaches for the Super Eagles. Its Unacceptable to continue to use Nigeria as a dumping ground for third-rate Foreign coaches. The NANF rejects Gernot Rohr,” the statement on Tuesday read
