Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, says the ministry and the Nigeria Football Federation will talk about the suitability of Gernot Rohr as the Super Eagles coach after the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone in Freetown on Tuesday.
The Eagles wasted a four-objective lead against the Leone Stars in the principal leg of the twofold header in Benin City on Friday, an outcome that irritated football-insane Nigerians, who demanded that the Franco-German be sacked as the public group coach.

“Nigerians have communicated an aggregate frustration with the breakdown of the group particularly in the subsequent half, surrendering a 4-0 lead to a group that is positioned multiple times beneath our greatest football brand, the Super Eagles,” Dare said.
“I have communicated my failure to the group and the Nigeria Football Federation. Like most Nigerians, just a persuading win in Freetown can mitigate our emotions and wounded self-images. Just a success will be adequate in Freetown.”
The minister added, “The undertaking right now is to get the group immovably in the groove again towards picking one of the gathering’s two tickets on offer for the 2022 AFCON. A success in Freetown will seal a nineteenth interest in the African Mundial.
“After this, we would now be able to discuss Mr. Rohr’s suitability as we try to restore Nigeria to the platform of African football and one of the lovely game’s forces to be reckoned with in world football. We will reappraise Mr. Rohr’s exhibition since he was named the Super Eagles administrator and check whether he is the correct man to satisfy our desires.”
Rohr has ceaselessly barred locally established stars since he was given the Eagles work in 2016, yet Dare says the homegrown group has a major task to carry out in building a solid public group for the nation.
“The accomplishment of our football must be estimated by the achievement of the homegrown group. A flourishing, expertly run homegrown class in all units will affect decidedly our public groups. That is the reason I requested the full execution of FIFA and CAF club permitting guidelines. This will carry us closer to making our alliances feasible for speculators and reestablish the certainty, all things considered.”
