Former Chairman of Technical Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Barrister Christopher Green has questioned the rational behind the move to offer Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr a contract extension having performed below expectation in his duty.
Speaking with journalists on a topmost platform NSM Rebranded, Green berate the choice of NFF for discussing contract extension instead of a possible sacking of the German tactician.

"What is not clear to me is the worry to extend his (Gernot Rohr) contract. We are not talking of sack here but extension. If his contract ends he is free to go unless my guys in the NFF are satisfied with his score card or result.
"Are you telling me that Nigerians are satisfied with Rohr for winning nothing with the Super Eagles for 4 years and earning a whooping $55.000?
"As an expatriate I would have expected that he would have performed better than our indigenous coaches. If you paid him that amount just to qualify the Super Eagles then we can as well pay same to any of our coaches around and get the same result.

"That will be more beneficial to a Nigerian coach than for an expatriate to just qualify us to tournaments, failed to get to the second round of the World cup and a modest 3rd place in Africa cup of Nations.
"The NFF under Pinnick did alot to support him. I don't think this is what the NFF wants as a result. Maigari won almost everything with Suppe Eagles and other Nigerian coaches in the lower cadre.
They should look for a world class coach to make the present crop of the Super Eagles players invincible.
