Amaju Pinnick,
president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), says the contract of Gernot
Rohr, Super Eagles technical adviser, will only be renewed if he accepts the
new terms of agreement.
Pinnick gave the new
conditions while speaking on Arise TV ‘Morning Show’ on Monday.
He said that the new
terms in Rohr’s contract include that Rohr must reside in Nigeria; his salary
will be paid in naira; and he will watch league matches with a view to pick
players that could be nurtured to become world-class footballers.
We have told him. He MUST live in Nigeria. His salary will be in Naira. He must go around the leagues and see how he can nurture the players. If he is able to accept it, we have a deal.

“He should live in
Nigeria and go around to watch the league matches and see how to nurture the
players,” Pinnick said.
“He has to be paid
in naira, we will pay him naira, equivalent of the dollars, we have to
strengthen our currency. If he’s able to accept, we have a deal.
“In one week, Rohr
will get his contract, he should study his contract and come back to us.
“So, give and take,
within seven days, he should have his contract.
“The only thing that
can impede the contract is if he refuses some of our new clauses in the
contract.”
Pinnick also
disclosed that if Rohr rejects the new offer, there won’t be any challenge in
getting another coach for Nigeria.
“I get calls
everyday from coaches that want to come here,” he said
