The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has eventually sacked Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr after five years on the job.
The Franco-German coach has received a lot of criticisms after the Super Eagles performance during the group phase of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
The NFF made the sack formal after weeks of deliberations and has appointed Austin Eguavoen to serve as Super Eagles’ interim boss.
While confirming the sack in a statement, the NFF said: “The Nigeria Football Federation has appointed Augustine Eguavoen, currently its Technical Director, as the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles on an interim basis.
“This is with immediate effect, and follows the termination of the relationship with Franco-German Gernot Rohr, who has been in charge of the three-time African champions for the past 64 months, and is Nigeria’s longest–serving manager.”
