The tenure in the Super Eagles of the Franco-German coach, Gernot Rohr seems imminent to end.

The NFF president, Amaju Pinnick, in a breakfast programme on Arise TV on Monday, declared that the body has given Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser some conditions for the renewal of his contract.

“We have told him (Rohr) he must live in Nigeria, and that his salary will be paid in Naira (the Nigeria currency).

“He must go round League venues and see how he can nurture the players. If he is able to accept, we have a deal.

“We will seek legal opinions on international coaches’ contracts. We shall also seek the opinion of the Sports Ministry. He should get the contract (with the new conditions) in about a week’s time so that he can revert after studying it.”

Rohr’s current contract with Nigeria ends in June and it does not appear the Super Eagles will play any other match with the man in charge as there is currently a global lockdown on football occasioned by the Covid-19 pandemic.
