Speaking to The Guardian, Super Eagles’ Media Officer, Toyin Ibitoye said all reports concerning the interest of some coaches to take over Rohr’s job were speculations.
“The NFF has not declared Gernot Rohr’s position vacant. I don’t know where the news that different coaches have been contacted by the NFF to coach the Super Eagles is coming from.
“Rohr’s contract as the Super Eagles coach is still on till June and the NFF has sent him a new contract guidelines to sign.“I believe at the end of the day, everything will be sorted out by both parties because Rohr is still interested in coaching the Super Eagles.
“If there is any issue that emanates from the contract, the NFF will issue an official information on that to the media. Rohr is still in charge of the Super Eagles and he is in a cordial relationship with the NFF,” he said.
