Rohr to continue as Nigeria Coach

Gernot Rohr will remain on as Nigeria head coach, despite the country’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) disappointment in Egypt.

The Super Eagles’ hopes of a fourth African title faded into thin air following a 2-1 defeat to Algeria in the semi-final.

Defeat to Djamel Belmadi’s men prompted much soul-searching in Nigeria and led to intense speculation over the future of Rohr.

However, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has dismissed rumors suggesting the German will be sacked, insisting he will stay at the helm, having met their 2019 Afcon target.
