Former Pharaohs of Egypt coach Hector Cuper is disappointed with the decision of the Nigeria Football Federation to hand Gernot Rohr a new contract.
Rohr is on the verge of penning a new two-year contract following weeks of negotiation with the NFF.
Cuper’s Egyptian-born assistant, Mahmoud Ahmed, told Premium Times that the Argentine was waiting to pounce on the Nigeria’s job should Rohr failed to agree a new deal with the NFF.
Mahmoud disclosed that Cuper was keen on managing Nigeria and Ghana and was willing to take a pay cut to manage the Super Eagles after failing to land the Black Stars job.

“Mr Cuper is ever ready to work in Africa with Nigeria and Ghana as countries of preference because of its abundant talents,” Mahmoud said.
“We had hoped to land Ghana job but GFA decided to close its door on foreign coaches and settled for Charles Akunor. Our attention was shifted to Nigeria and we felt salary problem between Rohr and Nigeria might be a problem.
“But its looks impossible now that Nigeria have decided to extend Rohr’s contract.”
Cuper is still without a job after he was sacked by the Uzbekistan FA in September 2019.

Sorry Mr.Cupper for your loss.Sadly,your football isn’t impressive anyway,you are way too defensive to thinker a team whose prowess is largely in attack like the super eagles.Perhaps Ghana could have been a better choice,unfortunately the position is filled up.
Having said that,your teams are compact and concedes less so in your tactical proficiency i shall rate you above average because notwithstanding you still come across a decent coach and an expert strategist.
Wishing you luck in your search for employment.
A couple of years back nobody wanted to coach Nigeria…..now they see Nigerian talents springing up everyday and they lining up to coach..Let continuity, team harmony, and understanding reign and also let Rohr enjoy the fruits of his labor.
yes nobody wants to coach the super eagles,even Adidas rejected our deal
Oga Mr Cupper, sorry we can’t fill your cup this time around. You’ll have to wait a long time because after four years a Nigerian local coach will take over from Oga Rohr. Worse still, by then our soccer shall have evolved far beyond your technical capabilities. This is not to denigrate your qualities. We expect to evolve, improve—gain a sound standing. Moreover after an anticipated dazzling WC performance, many younger world coaches will line up with their signatures. . . .. to whom we shall only give attention if our local boys or girls refuse reformation. You won’t believe it—they are steeped to the neck in corrupt practices.
Do you think I made a mistake when I alluded to women coaches for the men’s national team? Never! If our men fail us . . . Why not? We will push for reforms.
Good luck.
Lol…… Chai. Jobless man….. U want an already made team to coach. Are you not so shameless????
Sigh
No one want to coach SE in 2015 n 2016,in fact our African Mourinho, left and ran away without even notifying us.
A certain Paul La Guen was employed but before he even finished signing the contract, he resigned. NFF, was running helter skelter all over the globe, until a certain Gernot Rohr, recommended by Wenger came to their rescue.
Such was the messy state SE was then. Mr Cupper is so very much aware of the situation then but he declined to show any interest, just because no one believes SE can be resuscitated again, such was the dilapidating level that our so called local coaches thrust the SE into.
Fast forward 3yrs later, the team that everyone was running away from to manage, and even tagged “SUPER CHICKEN” has now become a darling of all, thanks to a dodged achievement of GR. The same manager that @omo9ja, and his jagon speaking colleague @Ade, with their shameless leader, @Destar who is too ashamed to come out and say a word after seeing the turn of events, was busy castigating for nothing.
Mr Rohr, continue your good work, whatever happens now, history will be kind to you in future. As for Hector Cupper, maybe you can try with Namibia, cape Verde or South Africa.
But wait o! Where were all these people when SE was languishing in 16th and 70th position in africa and in the world??
This man (ROHR) bore the shame of coaching the then “SUPER CHICKENS” and met the standard the board gave him….
Now that ROHR want to reap what he spent 2-3yrs sowing some heartless humans want to get rid of him without any tangible reason(s)….
Any body or group of persons that want OGA ROHR to be sacked after labouring to build this team to this level without clear evidence, that either ROHR failed to meet the standard they gave him or he failed woefully; and is planning to bring in another person for his own selffish interest to come and enjoy the labour of ROHR will never succeed….
The person will never eat the fruits of his own labour….
That person will labour and another person will come and enjoy the fruits of his labour…
And so shall it be…..
Why Oga Rohr fans are so emotional like this. Nobody haven’t said that Mr. Rohr have not been trying his but we are Nigeria not small countriesin Africa.
Only in Nigeria we celebrate poor results. The coach has so many good players both in Russia and in Egypt, if i may ask, what was his achievements in bot tournaments?
Late Amodu qualified Nigeria twice to the world cup but we did allow him to be at the world. Life goes on.
If NFF decides today to fire Oga Rohr and instore our best ex players to take over from coach Rohr with rules of law in place, im pretty sure that they will achieve than coach Rohr. I don’t have much time to talk today. Ire o.
Gid bless Nigeria!!!
Bring in our ex Guardiolas to take us back to the wilderness of African and world football?? He didn’t achieve anything in Russia and Egypt but took us from 16th position in Africa to 3rd and from 70th in the world to 31st. The WorldCup was his first major tournament with a relatively young team and we won a match came back with 3 points and almost eliminate Argentina despite being robbed a penalty. He came 3rd in a 24 team AFCON and he didn’t achieve anything? He led the team to 2 high profile friendlies against Ukraine and mighty Brazil introducing quality players to the team. Anyway we are ok with him because he’s already building a team that will be great in the imminent future. Watch out for my SuperEagles henceforth. You can continue to cry till after the 2022 WorldCup.
You don’t win anything in friendlies. One nations cup trophy is better than 1000 high profile wins.
“…If NFF decides today to fire Oga Rohr and instore our best ex players to take over from coach Rohr with rules of law in place, im pretty sure that they will achieve than coach Rohr…”
Oliseh, Amokachi, Siasia and Eguavoen must be ex Ghanaian Internationals.
Their Not qualifying for AFCON 3 out of 4 times must be a better achievement than Rohr.
Sinking us from 19th position in 2010 to 70th position within 6 years must be a sign of progress.
Sometimes it’s better when Omo9ja is quiet…!
Lol….. Over Highness is the cause.. Undiluted meth…. Lol
Hector Cuper? Hmmm. We better hold on to what we have that is working well for us!
I still remember the horror Bora Milutinovic AKA MULTINOVICE put us through in France 98. He took over the team and we ended up with Mutiu Adepoju at right back! It was the stuff of stand-up comedy really, only I’m sure Nigerians in the audience will not be laughing!
Let’s allow Rohr continue his work on this team.
Hector Cuper, sacked by the last 3 counties he managed. Georgia, Egypt where he extended their winless world cup appearances to 80 years and more recently Uzbekistan.
No thank you, no vacancy
that mean nigeria is doing something right – gernot rohr
This is no news to me !
Pls can we start getting positive news on when Gernot Rohr have signed his new contract and what is the plan for the Super Falcons, The various national grade teams.
We have missed the Olympics because of shabby preparation and wrong appointment of handlers!!!.
Can we start making up for those Teams now ?
And to the sport ministry, can we start working on other key sports that have brought glory to us in the past …. Boxing, Athletics (Tracks, long & short jumps, discus, short put, etc), Swiming, Wrestling, Badminton etc
Let’s leave the super eagles coaching job because, it has being sorted out by our Nigerian-German!!!
Lets take our hands and attention off the Super Eagles and the current handlers …. Let’s work on the other national teams !!!
Guys, below is the main reason for the disaffection between GR and Pinnick:
It’s an uneasy alliance that will continue until the end of the 2022 Fifa World Cup should the German sign the new contract he has been offered. With the two parties seemingly destined to part ways after months of wrangling, the contract is a surprise. While the 66-year-old mulls over the terms, the circumstances leading up to this renewal proposal mean he can be under no illusion that the next two years will be a slog – the hardest he has faced in his time in charge of the Super Eagles.
Rohr’s appointment as coach of Nigeria in 2016 was met with doubts because his CV wasn’t that impressive. But the NFF, led by president Amaju Pinnick, stuck by its choice in the face of popular dissent. Its faith was quickly rewarded by the ease with which Rohr led Nigeria through a perilous 2018 World Cup qualifying group featuring Cameroon, the reigning African champions at the time, as well as Algeria and Zambia, which have both conquered the continent before.
The Super Eagles were the first African side to qualify for the World Cup, doing so with a game to spare and finishing so far ahead of second-place Zambia that even a points deduction – for fielding an ineligible player in the final qualifier – barely registered.
With qualification secured, attention immediately turned to preparation. Rohr’s side produced a spirited second-half fightback to turn a 2-1 half-time deficit into a 4-2 victory over Argentina. In the aftermath, an excited Pinnick was in a charitable mood: he proclaimed Rohr “the best coach in the world” and, at the team hotel, made a verbal commitment not only to renew his contract with improved terms, but also to pay him a $150 000 bonus for leading Nigeria to the World Cup.
Signing without reading
Rohr immediately set to work, drafting a contract to run until June 2020. This was done without input from the NFF’s legal department, but that did not prevent a high-ranking official from appending his signature on behalf of the federation. The signing was done during a game at the Agege Stadium in Lagos in January, indicating the hurried nature of it. However, all seemed fair enough: Nigeria had rewarded her coach with an improved deal for a job well done.
Come the World Cup, the Super Eagles failed to fly and were eliminated in the group stage following defeat to long-time bête noire Argentina, which Nigeria have drawn, improbably, five times in six appearances in the competition. However, the NFF stood by its man even as public opinion once more shifted against him, pointing out the green shoots of progress the national team had made during his stewardship.
During the build-up to the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers, Rohr began enquiring about the status of the promised bonus payment. Only then did the NFF realise he had included the promised bonus payment in the contract, which it had signed without perusal and did not even have a copy of.
From a federation source, New Frame understands that the insistent manner in which Rohr went about the enquiry angered NFF officials, whose pride was wounded by the knowledge that their own carelessness had now given him the upper hand. They also considered it dishonest on Rohr’s part that he was making a fuss about that qualification bonus specifically on the grounds that it was in his contract, whereas he had had no qualms about receiving a World Cup participation bonus that was not stipulated in his contract. However, the only actual “mistake” the German had made was in trusting a gentleman’s agreement and asking for what he believed was his due.
He would eventually receive the bonus, but not in full – in May 2019, the NFF paid him $90 000 of the $150 000 promised. There was no mistaking that a clear air of resentment had been introduced.
And then the country’s football administration began to air its misgivings regarding Rohr’s conduct as coach. New Frame understands that the control and involvement of a certain French agent in the squad became a point of disaffection for some of the NFF officials, and it is reported that the agent in question now represents as many as 10 players in the national team.
Rohr, however, remained in charge. He qualified for the Afcon and led Nigeria to a third-place finish at the tournament in Egypt. In the meantime, seeing that his stock with the NFF was dwindling, the German had surprisingly recalled estranged captain Mikel John Obi for the competition, counting on the former Chelsea man’s influence to fight his corner and insulate him somewhat. It was a nakedly political move, and one which the officials saw through.
The manner of some of the Afcon performances, including the defeat in the semifinal against Algeria, once again split public opinion, exposing some of Rohr’s tactical shortcomings at major competitions. This time the federation was only too happy to undermine him and stoke the debate about whether the team had actually developed under his leadership. Pinnick even publicly suggested that Rohr was in need of a refresher course and proposed sending him to German giants Bayern Munich for that purpose.
Copied from New Frame
I will love for Clarence Seedorf to coach Nigeria.
Seedorf/Kluivert will give us the world cup
He was beaten black and blue by rohr and eventually got sacked, what on earth qualifies him to be a better replacement??? Janja weed smokers every where. Anyway, guys read up the main reason behind all these drama behind rohrs contract. It seems just like westerhorf, rohr has the backing of apex powes in govt, that’s why the nff are finding it hard to offload him… https://allafrica.com/stories/202005200433.html
But we have better players… and guess what the like of Eze and Osayi-Samuel will play for Nigeria if a coach of that magnitude is hired
Bar Eze, Osayi Samuel can’t make this Current eagles 23 man list let alone Starting 11. When we have Ejuke who’s far better than Osayi yet hasn’t made it to the team yet.
Please say it again!!!
@Tancosports please say it again!!!
Who are they are going to bench?
Lets stick to coaching. I think in very tight games, Rohr has not been able to think deep to make substitutions to change the game. Against Algeria and Argentina, he lost!
I dont think he has much to offer
Personally the sports ministry should play a passive role in the selection of our coaches. I think they should focus more on youth development and take the recommendations of the NFF or any other sports administration
I’m just passing by.., I hope say all of una dey ok?
Greetings!
Continue passing….. Make u no look back o…. E be like say u wan score another rugby goal….. Lol
I’m always on point na.. everybody knows that.
I always try to balance my analyses by mentioning the good and bad side of the story.
You yourself knows I’m a great striker that scores good goals with my comments.
DR BANKS , reading through your shared story of how Rohr fraudulently tricked NFF into sighing that ridiculous contract 2 years ago, which we have all be condemning all this while really made me ashamed of this our country. What a messed !
Anyway, with the eagles eyes of progressives group in this platform, never again would we allowed such fraudulent contract in any form .
It is not Cupper’s fault, when Elephant dies, all manner of knives would surfaced, If Rohr had been technical sound , not to have flopped in the two tournaments he participated, we wouldn’t have become subject of ridicule to the outside world. The last time that I checked Westerhof age who also clamouring to coach S/E , he is already 80 years old , I laughed
@ De Star you are comical. A coach that has made qualifications easy and got to third place in a 24 format nations Cup, is a failure right? Truly, in this country, we love the self destruct button. Let’s press it together. Ndi ara
Either by corruption or trick Rohr will sign a contract extension till 2022. So you guys have a little ways to go. Wether the acclaimed regressive group like or not Rohr will continue his job as the coach of the SuperEagles for the foreseeable future to finish a remarkably job he has started and the journey begins from the next AFCON in January. The article provided by Dr Banks and Lord Amo simply states that Rohr might have the backing of the highest ranked people in the Nigeria politics. It’s almost the same privilege Keshi had and also same privilege Westerhoff had in the 90s that he used to build the greatest SuperEagles of all time. Keshi couldn’t use his own privilege with presidency at the time to build on his AFCON success and he failed spectacularly subsequently. Now no one can tell me that Rohr too shouldn’t be given those kind of privilege because even according to the article he’s been doing a satisfactory job so far. Please we are smart enough to digress the message and I don’t even see any sign of trick or corruption in Rohr’s part in the whole scenario. If both parties agree on a clause both should abide by it. As far as most reasonable SuperEagles fans are concerned Rohr deserves to continue as SuperEagles coach for at least another two years. That is a no brainer whoever thinks otherwise can continue to worry about their high BP.
Welcome back from your hiatus. I understand that things became too complicated for you that you lost your ability to type…Maybe you were still trying to calculate the correct answer of expressing 4/5 as a percentage…..LMAO. Sorry ehn. I can see you are back but you are still one and the same.
From Rohr is getting preferential treatment…to rohr is getting paid 4 times what Oliseh was paid…to rohr is sharing his salary with NFF….. now Rohr fraudulently tricked NFF into sighing a contract – That contract that included NFF stopping payment of Rohr’s assistants salaries, That contract that included Rohr getting 50% of his dues and forfeiting the other 50% to NFF and the sports minister (according to you and your Lairs Utd folks). So if Rohr had the opportunity of “tricking” NFF into signing a contract, he would not delete those aspects…if he had opportunity of tricking nff to sign a contract, he wont change his salary from $30,000 to $300,000 by just adding one zero at the back….without your drunk monkey-brained NFF officials noticing????
Do you even read what you write at all…..??? Pls try to connect all these your statements and make a nice story out of it. So if you have the opportunity to draft your own employment contract and trick someone to signing it, you wont remove that aspects that mandates you to forfeit 50%…??? You wont remove that aspect that mandates you to now pay your assistants (4 or 5 of them) from the remaining 50%…??? LMAO
Oga…your lies are not adding up again. Pls go back and take a well deserved break and come back with better lies pls…..you are FAR BETTER than what you are giving us now.
Im sure the next lie will be that Rohr tricked Sports minister to declaring that credentials matter over colour and nationality too.
All sorts of riffraff coaches wanting to coach the SE now is not a case of elephant dying and we seeing all sorts of knives…its the case of a jar of honey being kept outside and all types of crawling insects and ants wanting to have a share…..its a case of a man struggling to go to the market to buy soup ingredients, splitting firewood, stocking the fire, cooking the soup and now that the soup is almost done, people who stood aloof watching him sweat tears and blood to prepare the soup and now wanting to be the ones to eat it.
What will never happen again is FAKE GUADIOLAS without credentials coming to take over our SE. The Minister has said it….Credentials over Names/Colour/Nationality
#Rohr Stays
@Drey why are you at every post?
Must you reply all comments?
How much were you paid to always present oga Rohr as world class?
We the progressives have refused to follow that your line of thought, to us Rohr is a good man,his coaching ability is average overall, we can manage him for continuity sake but he should always listen to advice.
We do not hate him but stating the obvious.
See pot calling kettle black…? Are you not also commenting on posts and replying comments now..??? Apart from the times you lost your voice when your african guadiolas were being exposed of their massive corruption left right and centre, has any day passed by without seeing your lies-filled comments here on CSN? Or why are you having breathing problems over another person’s posts….???
Pls copy and paste anywhere I stated that Rohr is World Class. But as poor as you want to present him he is still FAR BETTER than your african Guadiolas….LMAO
As poor and average as you want to present him, stats, fact and figures show his credentials are at par with those of the likes of Harry Redknapp and Hector Cuper and he even has a higher career points per game ratios then both of them…..so why contest what the record books have affirmed.
Leave him with his average coaching ability…we like him that way. We have made massive progress from where your world class gaudiolas with world class coaching abilities dumped us. We will continue managing him so far we continue progressing, getting better and stronger.
We know you dont hate him….you are stating the “obvious” that cannot be backed up by facts and figures….Weldone. you deserve a raise. Since you know coaching more than him, applications are open for the position of head coach of the other national teams, submit your CV lets see if you will get one of the jobs. Let Nigeria benefit from your ‘talent’ and stop wasting it on a keypad.
If my posts are giving your high BP smash your device on the floor…or forever hold your peace. Thank you.
With kind Regards…
@Goal abi offside, until people like you receive sense, Dr Drey won’t stop. He wants to panelbit sense into the minds of those retrogressive set of people in this group. I love the way he brings up receipts to back his claims. Una must hear word. Ndi apari
For your mind drey has evidence to back up all his lies and hypocrisies.
He is only deceiving people like you not we the true fans, we praise when necessary and also criticize when due.
For your information he has never proved me wrong.
Lol…. Over the bar
Senegal Dominated Brazil…FAT LIE PROVED WRONG.
Ejaria hasnt submitted application for International switch……FAT LIE PROVED WRONG.
Rohr makes wrong and late sustitutions…..FAT LIE PROVED WORNG.
Thank God comments dont get deleted on CSN. Fervent readers know who the real lairs are. If you like tell the world all the links Dr.Drey shares are lies just as your houseboy @ade has said all nigeria online media are lairs but still visits CSN as often as flies visit a latrine….LMAO
Ndi 4/5 = 95%…! People deceiving themselves…LMAO
When we had the argument about ejaria he hasn’t switched nationality,he only did so recently and that proves you a lier .
Senegal had a good game with Brazil, It was man to man game in fact they were the ones we drew inspiration from even though we are supposed to be ahead of them.
Calling someone a lier without evidence is laughable.
Hahahaha….Father of lairs..!
What was our argument about Ejaria…?? LMAO. I simply broke the news (before ANY NIGERIAN MEDIA OUTLET) that Ejaria’s switch has been approved…..your ignorant majesty jumped into the conversation like a donkey and said I’m telling a lie, that you’ve not even read anywhere an application was ever submitted in the 1st instance….not up to 2 weeks later…news Broke. Who ended up becoming a lair.
We are supposed to be ahead of Senegal…another lie….in the last 5 years tell us 1 month….just 1 month when we have been ranked higher than senegal….??? In the last 4 years, including in beach soccer, tell me one match we have played with senegal at all levels and won…? We are indeed AHEAD OF SENEGAL (I know you will in future still deny you ever made this statement…Lairs always have a short memory of their lies…LMAO). That was how you claimed SENEGAL DOMINATED BRAZIL in a game where possession stats was 57% to 43% (or thereabout) in favour of brazil.
The evidence of your lies are all over CSN, i dont need to help your laziness by pasting the links for you over and over again
Hehehehehe @Oakfield
They are beginning to jump out of their covens one by one after going on sabbatical. They have gone for a strategic planning retreat to re-strategize and package more lies for us for the next 4 weeks….LMAO.
Their 4/5 = 95% failure is still haunting them. The F9 coach whom they want fired to be replaced by their A+ ex-internationals who cannot qualify for ordinary AFCON is set to remain till 2022….LMAO
The latest gist in town now is that “…Rohr fraudulently tricked NFF into sighing that ridiculous contract 2 years ago….”LMAO. How ridiculous….one man tricked a whole federation (from the president, the board, the legal team, the technical department, the accounts department, down to the gatemen) into signing a contract…??? Its Either that One man is a super genius or the whole federation are full of imbeciles and should be relieved of their jobs with immediate effect.
I have never heard anywhere that an employee drafted his own contract and his employer signed without reading and ALSO DOESN’T HAVE A COPY. LMAO…No no no no…..this is too hilarious…LMAO
From Rohr is getting preferential treatment…to rohr is getting paid 4 times what Oliseh was paid…to rohr is sharing his salary with NFF….. now rohr Rohr fraudulently tricked NFF into sighing that ridiculous contract – That contract that included NFF stopping payment of Rohr’s assistants salaries, That contract that included Rohr getting 50% of his dues and forfeiting the other 50% to NFF and the sports minister (according to our Lairs Utd folks). So if Rohr had the opportunity of “tricking” NFF into signing a contract, he would not delete those aspects…???? Im sure the next lie will be that Rohr tricked Sports minister to declaring that credentials matter over colour and nationality too.
If they like, they should tell us Rohr tricked Pinnick into fortfeiting his Wife and Daughters too…na dem sabi. Our own is that #Rohrs stays…and that the upward trajectory of our SE (since we got liberated from the hands of fake Guadiolas) continue
@drey, I’m still laughing my head off since I read it. Incredible country and incredible people. They are so shameless and foolish. How can an employee draft his “own” contract and somewhere there in the article, it was mentioned that it was only rohr that had the copy of his contract. Can u just imagine?????.. Lol…. Chai!!! Anyway, they’d continue exposing and fooling themselves at the same time. Shameless corrupt idiots!
Hector Cuper is actually a better coach with an impressive CV. His playing style will suit our attacking players. He has managed players like Ronaldo, Riquelme and besides, he beat Nigeria with Egypt when he was coach.
He will be a better coach for Nigeria
@ Edoguy…
I don’t have much to say, but since u want the analytical aspect BASED ON THIS UR empty AND VAGUE comment, we have a noble vibrant young man that is very sound, intelegent, educative, factual & above all sincere….
He will educate u and show u proves that ROHR’S CV is either better than ur world class HECTOR or they have the same records both in terms of win per game ratios,,,, whether in EUROPEAN COMPETITION or IN AFRICA….
JUST STAY CLUED TO UR MOBILE DEVICE…..
@DR.DREY; pls are u there???
Abeg lagbaja the record for this soccer novice called EDOGUY…..
Though I see no basis for the call of Hector Cuper taking over from Rohr,since I Think Rohr is done manageably well; but on records basis Hector Cuper used to be a better coach.
I used the term “used” because we all know football is played in the now.
Hector Cuper playing style is always aggressive, bone to bone , organised and hit on the counter,focusing on every detail of the game,set pieces included.
His record with Mallorca,Valencia,Paok etc are relatively good,baring in mind that all these teams are modest,but he took them to a final.
And there lies one of his problems. Cuper kind of got a bad luck in terms of winning the title when the time comes.
He has lost so many finals,even losing back to back Champions league finals with Valencia. Losing with Mallorca at UEFA cup , losing the Afcon final with Egypt to Cameroon ,losing the Greek cup final with Paok to Panathiniakos , he also lost the Italian serie title with Inter by losing the most vital match of the season to Lazio,thereby allowing Juventus win.
He seems to have ill luck winning titles.
Another problem for Cuper is his failure as a national team handler,failing with Georgia,Egypt and recently Uzbekistan.
And these are his more recent games. So he is in his decline.
Rohr on the other hand,has gotten to many finals like Cuper. Hasn’t really managed better teams like Cuper. And I would say, though they play similar style tactically,both preferably,been laid back and compact; Rohr seems to be one willing to switch styles. Besides,Rohr seems to be on the ascendancy with the Eagles,having find the right connect with the team.
So the way I see it, Cuper is the man out there looking in whilst Rohr is the guy pressing the buttons. Cuper past records doesn’t really matter right now, as his current record isn’t something to write home about. Egypt found out first hand.
Let’s keep Rohr.
*Rohr hasn’t gotten to many finals like Cuper…..
What final has Rohr gotten to?
@Edoguy
In 1996 , Rohr took Bordeaux to the UEFA cup final,losing to Bayern Munich.
Hello guys, I salute these progressive comrades …………@Dr Drey, @Ayphillydegreat, @Oakfield, @Ola, @Mr Hush, @Deo. I really enjoy reading your insightful well researched write-ups, these are quite highly informative and always backed up with facts and statistical analysis. However, kudos also goes to the conservatives too @Omo9ja, @De-star, @Ade etc, without you guys here there will be no debate and this forum will not be as interesting as it is today.
We all love our dear SE so much and wish for the best for the team, but I want us to understand one thing clearly, Rohr has been such a fresh breath of air since he came on board and has performed creditably well so far. Why the NFF were bent on seeing him go still baffles me until I read that story shared above, then I understood that 9ja factor played a great part in them falling apart. It has since been bad business for the guys at the Glass house (did you guys notice that Rohr was paid $90,000 instead of $150,000 promised, am sure $60,000 goes to Pinnick’s pocket). GR is now becoming wiser in his dealings with NFF by negotiating better and asking for whatever is due to him and they do not like this anymore. How do we explain a big organisation like NFF signing a contract without their legal dept input……….it’s simply because they intend to share from the largesse thereof but now the Gaffer is refusing to share. This is what led to the underhand manipulations of public opinions through their main guy Odegbami to be able to get rid of GR without Public backlash but they have failed woefully.
I do have 100% trust in GR ability to take us to the dreamland and maintain the success for along time to come if NFF do the needful and support this Guy wholeheartedly while they checkmate their corrupt tendencies and do something good for 9ja for once in their life.
Good name is better than Gold and Silver
I rest my case
I give kudos to CSN for listening to us and now offer us the much sought after EDIT button, big up. to you
Wow. I am waiting for the day Arsene Wenger will show interest in coaching 9ja
@Banks , thanks for your brilliant unbiased and truthful analysis, it is unlike the typical Rohr’s United Promoters FC , when they read genuine news that affected Rohr and his business partners NFF they either ignore it or they twisted it upside down, then resulted to their trade marks of calling us names, liars (I am sure they know within themselves the real lairs , but we wouldn’t go their way ) .
Thank God you are well educated not to have needed interpreter that would rightly explain to you that , the shared article really exposed communication brake down between 2 sets of “robbers “ gangs, Rohr and his business partners NFF as each actor were trying to greedily outplaying each other (Rohr wanted more than fair share of the bargaining , he wanted to out mastered his business partners NFF while the NFF also did not want to take it lightly, taken their entitlement from the padded fraudulent contract extension of 2 years ago. In any case , it is the gain of Nigeria and the gain of the progressives great minds group in this platform.
Kudos to you too for being truthful, @Mr Hush @Deo are the other few Rohr’s Promoters United FC that can also come up with this your unbiased truthful analysis.
My great friend Dr Drey & co , when they are loosing in all ramification, they would still come to the platform to twist facts, brag and deceive themselves. ( we told them , that for Rohr for to be allowed any contract extension, the fraudulent padded contract extension of 2 years ago must be reversed as no where in the world, that mediocrity is celebrated and rewarded with 95% salary increment, no where in the world that a coach would have a clause to be working from his home country, no where in the world a coach would not physically have a good look in the local leagues to discover raw talent , we said Rohr is an average coach that needs support of skilled assistants that can cover his technical deficiencies; Dr Drey & co called us derogatory names, today 95% of these demands are being implemented in the new proposed contract , so who is getting it right here ?
On a last note , I appreciate you borrowing our progressives group’s name , but please we can only allow you only because we can see a potential in you of joining the progressives group in the nearest future, but would not allow Dr Drey & co to borrow this our unique proud name (Lol) @
Omo9ja,@Stan@Goal@Larry@Ade@ & co are the exclusive owner of that group’s name oooo (Lol)
Please stay safe …… up 9ja
#Rohr Stays
See fat lair who has been advocating for the SACK of rohr form day 1 to be replaced by his African Guadiola now changing mouth when he has seen that he has failed and the tables have turned…LMAO.
Oga we are not twisting anything…its your lies that are now beginning to contradict each other and confuse you…so now you can hardly think straight, comprehend unobstructed and assimilate clearly.
Hahahahaha…..progessive lairs. Even ordinary 4/5 that even primary school children know is 80%, they lied it is 95%…..LMAO. I’ll rather stand alone than join a pack of lairs. Ask them to provide links to verify their claims and they will suddenly go mute like someone born deaf and dumb.
From Rohr is getting preferential treatment…to rohr is getting paid 4 times what Oliseh was paid…to rohr is sharing his salary with NFF….. now Rohr fraudulently tricked NFF into sighing a contract – That contract that included NFF stopping payment of Rohr’s assistants salaries, That contract that included Rohr getting 50% of his dues and forfeiting the other 50% to NFF and the sports minister (according to you and your Lairs Utd folks).
How can someone who’s salary is shared 50-50 be getting preferential treatment compared to another who gets 100% of his salary…??? LMAO
How can $50k 0r $55k shared 50:50 be 4 times $30k or $36k…? See Ogbonge mathematics (50/2 = 4 x 30)….LMAO
How can One man, an employee, DRAFT HIS OWN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT and TRICK THE WHOLE NFF including the President, the Board, the Technical Committee and the Legal Team into signing it and HIM ALONE WILL HAVE A COPY…..LMAO. (May God not make me an Imbecile)
Or are those not your own words @Destar….??? LMAO. So pls we are still waiting for you to tell us which of then is true and give us links to verify so we can also belong to your school of thought..???
So if Rohr had the opportunity of “tricking” NFF into signing a contract, he would not delete those aspects…if he had opportunity of tricking nff to sign a contract, he wont change his salary from $30,000 to $300,000 by just adding one zero at the back….without your drunk monkey-brained NFF officials noticing????
So the Sports Minister discovered that Rohr “Tricked” NFF into signing a contract and Rohr is not fired yet…or the case is not in court yet…??? Its the same Sport Minister who even endorsed Rohr (for the credentials he possesses which your african guadiolas whom you are fighting for dont have even a quarter of) and gave NFF an ultimatum to tidy up their nonsense and stop making noise all over the place. Maybe the Sports Minister to is sharing the remaining 50% of the 50% Rohr gets from his salary…LMAO
I know you are desperately looking for fans now and will stop at nothing to trump facts and the truth…..LMAO. You really dont need to stress, when you start commenting with facts, figures and verifiable sources rather than telling white lies from the figment ofyou imagination, you will have a hoard of fans queuing at your doorstep…..but for now, if you like call yourself Peoples Democratic Party…..the whole of CSN knows you and your gang…..We refuse to be deceived….LMAO
Remove @Stan from your group he has already deserted you guys. He choose to follow the progressive group not the regressive group of liars United.
Oga, as enlighten as you claimed to be, you suppose to know the difference between bonus and salary… You keep on hammering on 95% increment of salary, which means Rohr earns 95k every month in the last 2yrs, going by your assessment. Must you lie? Must you say something you know nothing about?
Even when u read the leaked article, you still come out saying all sort of rubbish. @Destar, there’s different between bonus and salary, the 150k usd in question is the bonus Pinnick promised Rohr for qualifying Nigeria for world cup, and not his salary.
Every big organization gives bonuses as an incentive for their employees, just to encourage them to do more n be more dedicated. @Dr Banks, kudos to you for that great comment, respect.
Abeg leave him. I thought mathematics alone was his problem, it seems English and Verbal apptitude is also a challenge for him. Let him keep confusing himself with those cooked up figments of his imagination. LMAO
Dr.Drey have you noticed there is one person assigned with the responsibility to click the thumbs down button under your every comment? Mad Oh!
Bro. we celebrate you, you are a somebody and that is why these nobodies don’t have the body to stand when your shadow is passing by…
Guys note: Dr.Drey is just doing the normal ward round, some sick fans will not be discharged in this CSN hospital…because they refuse to take the Dr.Drey prescribed medicine for their sickness.
Even new patients like De Star was admitted in this ward I found out he came with Dry Gin no wonder medicine will not work for him.
@Dr Drey @Ola, I just visit the platform now after my last post on the topic 2 days ago , only to read your usual name calling and the usual way you turned facts upside down to confused and impress your group.
Thank God , the scandalous story between Rohr and his business partners NFF this time around was shared by @Dr BANKS who is a member of your group but with different ideology of being objective and never joined you in the way you manipulated facts.
Please direct your frustration to @Dr Banks for exposing Rohr corruption with NFF, not me oo , when a coach is given verbal promised $150k that is almost 3 times of his monthly wages just for qualifying for WC that our Nigerian coaches have achieved in the past without such “arangee” what do you call that other than corruption , when he was given allowance that is not in his contract , what do you call it other corruption. The NFF that paid him $90k and pocketed the remaining $60k knows Rohr is partner in crime and cannot fight it out .( I have said it if corruption is not killed , NFF will kill Nigeria football)
@Ola , salary is different from allowance or bonus , check my contribution again , it is simple english , you are always free to twist any news upside down but don’t twist my words ( You are fond of twisting fact or story just as you erroneously claimed in the platform here that Immosan are carrying out Maintenances on aircraft in Nigeria, I am sure , you know whatever you heard then , you really did bad to that information by misleading people with the twisting of the fact in your hand upside down)
@Destar, Oga, I support my points with facts, this link is from CNN https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/23/africa/innoson-nigeria-jet-parts/index.html I have nothing to gain from supporting fictions.
Who is twisting fact here? Is it not you that’s confusing bonus with salary claiming 95% of increment until @Dr Banks burst your brain with fact?
No one will research for you, Google is your friend, if you want to know more, search more.
Lairs will tell us Rohr TRICKED NFF INTO PAYING HIM $150,000 for qualifying for world cup but Locals coaches do not get paid bonuses….please read if you still comprehend English.

The Super Eagles with one match to go in the qualification series after a 1-0 win over Zambia on Saturday, October 7 in Uyo.
Following the qualification, the NFF will get a N3.6b ($10m) qualification bonus and N900m ($2.5m) for the Super Eagles to prepare for the tournament.
ALSO READ: Super Eagles move up in FIFA Ranking
FIFA give out qualification bonuses to federations of countries playing in any of their tournaments. For the World Cup, which is the biggest tournament in football, the bonuses are premium. FIFA get this money from sponsorships and sales of TV rights. The federations receive the money and in turn pay players and also use the rest for preparation for the tournament and development of football in their countries.
ALSO READ: NFF escape FIFA fine
Super Eagles boss Gernot Rohr used 37 players for the qualifying series to the 2018 FIFA World Cup and each of these players will receive a share of the qualification bonus.
For the World Cup proper, the NFF will get more money should the Super Eagles progress to the knock-out rounds of the World Cup like they did in 1994 FIFA World Cup in USA, 1998 FIFA World Cup in Franceand 2014 FIFA World Cup inBrazil.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria will get a share from about $700m which will be distributed among the participating countries of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. The money is distributed according to the stage reached at the World Cup with the winner taking home $50m. This is a significant increase in the $576m which was distributed among the participating countries of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Also included in the $576m is the $100m player insurance and $70m payments made to clubs of players that participated in the competition. Germany, winners of the 2014 FIFA World Cup took him home $35m as prize money while runners-up Argentina pocketed $25 million.

Nigeria players were paid their World Cup bonuses over two weeks before their
opening tournament fixture against Croatia, according to NFF President Amaju Pinnick and confirmed by players. In November (2017), the NFF signed an agreement with the players on a pay structure for bonuses, allowances and a share of the income from participation at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Under the agreement, the players were to be paid their qualification bonuses and share of the FIFA income in advance. Under the agreement, the team are due 30 per cent of the NFF’s appearance fee from FIFA. FIFA has made an advance payment of $2 million, and the NFF say they raised the other $800,000 from sponsorship.
The move was to forestall incidents of bonus rows which have embarrassed the Super Eagles – and other African World Cup participants – in the past, and compromised the team’s focus at major tournaments.
At the last World Cup, Nigerian players boycotted training ahead of their round-of-16 game against France to press for payment of their allowances.
Ghana officials were compelled to fly in over $3 million in cash to avoid the embarrassment of the team skipping a World Cup game. Pinnick told KweséESPN that the NFF was determined to avoid any such incident this time around.
“We said we were going to pay them before they go to the World Cup and that is what we have done,” Pinnick began. “This is very important to us to fulfil our part of the agreement we signed with the players, and also provide them with all needed comforts to ensure that there is no distraction as they go to represent our country at the World Cup.”
The payments also include $10,000 per player per game from qualifying through to the World Cup.
Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr pockets $15,000 per game, while his assistants get $10,000 per game.
Officials told KweséESPN that the payments also included all players and coaches who participated in the qualifiers. That means Sunday Oliseh, who was in charge for two games, will be paid $30,000, although an official confirmed that that payment, along with some players not on the squad, are still being processed.
“All the player and coaches who took part in the World Cup qualifying matches are getting paid. Players are being done first, then officials,” KweséESPN’s source began, “but those going to Russia have been paid already.
“Some of the other players who were not in this squad have also been paid although others have not sent in their bank details,” he added. “All the money is in the NFF accounts and will be paid to them as soon as they send in their details.” The players were also paid their appearance fees for the friendly games against the Democratic Republic of Congo and England, with the only outstanding payment due being the appearance fee for Wednesday’s game against Czech Republic.
That payment is currently being processed and is expected to be completed within the week and before the players travel to Russia. A cross section of the players confirmed the payments to KweséESPN, although they declined to go on record. “Yes, we have been paid,” one member of the squad confirmed. “Some of us who have accounts in England collected cash and paid it into their accounts by themselves. “The rest of us just got bank transfers.”
The move is a continuation of a new policy by the NFF of distributing tournament prize money to the team. “The board has now made it a standard policy that for any prize money won, the team would take a minimum of thirty percent,” added KweséESPN’s source. “This cut is across both male and female teams.
“It started with the African Nations Championship Eagles, who were not only paid their bonuses until the semi finals, but also got their share of the participation fee. Each player got well over N3 million.” Nigeria begin their World Cup campaign against Croatia on June 16 in Kaliningrad, before facing Iceland on June 22 and then Argentina on June 26.

Nigeria U20 team refused to leave their hotel in poland after elimination over unpaid bonuses….Super Falcons also refused to leave their hotels in France after elimination too due to unpaid WC and AWCON bonuses too. Maybe these ones too were sharing their bonus with Pinnnick…..LMAO.
We almost missed participating in the Confed Cup in 2013 due to bonus issues. The sports ministry had to send delegates from home to go pay entitlements in brazil in 2014 too after NFF officials wanted to do “chop and clean mouth” with the millions of dollars FIFA awards to teams that qualify. Instead of admitting NFF’s tendencies “chop and forget” people’s entitlements or pay them some part and promise to pay the rest later without eventually doing so, liars will tell us Rohr tricked pinnick to promising him qualification bonus….Lolz
Nice response Dr Drey and Ola. This one @De Star is always contradictory in his comments so nothing new. I couldn’t fathom any iota of real fact in all his comments. After all Rohr remains the SuperEagles coach for the foreseeable future of important growth for this exciting SuperEagles. You guys have witnessed one of them eating his words already. You will see how they will continue eating their words one after the other over the next 2 years.
@De star, may be you should ignore those guys. I stopped responding to the same fact twister long ago.
Supporting a coach whose only record/weapon is reaching the final of a major competition about 24yrs ago.
Akpoborie says it better..
https://www.owngoalnigeria.com/2020/05/23/akpoborie-rohr-is-an-old-school-coach-cant-manage-modern-super-eagles-players/
Hahahaha…..your new school coaches couldnt even qualify for ordinary AFCON….Your New school coaches dipped our SE into a shreader and cut the team into pieces and ran away….your New school fake gaudiolas turned the super eagles into a drill rig and started drilling down the FIFA table as if there was oil underneath FIFA headquarters.
This old school coach who cannot manage modern SE players has restored sanity, respect and sanctity into of national team and is building the most exciting SE we’ve had since 1994. Even foreign borns like Dessers and Ehizube are already all over the press, licking their lips of this sweet prospect of becoming a part of this team.
Leave our Old school coach for us….we like am like that. Tell your new school coaches to also go and reach the final of a major competition….then we will start taking them seriously….LMAO
#Rohr stays…..if e too pain you off ya TV when SE dey play…..LMAO
Lol! The guy is frustrated already. It’s better you stop responding to us because we will continue to expose your ignorance on here. They think they can come here to lie every time to the forum about how their African Guardiolas will win the WorldCup LMAO!!!!. We don’t care about Rohr’s past achievements as long as the SuperEagles continue to progress under his stewardship.
We know for sure that players will always be selected on merit and if you’re not playing regularly for your club forget about getting a call up. That is what has been missing under numerous African Guardiolas we’ve had in the past that cost us to miss two AFCONS IN A ROW. The regressive people’s Congress want us to go back to those calculator days, but thank God they’re not the one running the NFF who are smart enough to know that Rohr is better than any other coach available to the SuperEagles at the moment. So Oga Larry and co. You guys have a little ways till after 2022 WorldCup to keep on rambling.
@Larry , OMG !! You are always at your best hitting Dr Drey & his Rohr’s retrogressive group in a had way with our usual style of robust and systematic approach ( the interview of Akpborie you shared is the real answer to the Rohr’s gullible blind supporters) ,
@Dr Drey & his retrogressive team would never see the news where their technical bankrupt Rohr was dissected and rightly rubbished . My joy is our progressives team this time around didn’t give Rohr and his business partners NFF breathing spaces to perpetuate the fraudulent contract done 2 years ago . I just hope Yobo’s modern experienced would help Rohr out at any big stage, otherwise, as Akpoborie has said , Rohr can not give what he does not have, even tea cup , Rohr cannot win in the Afcon and WC . Always proud of our progressives team @Omo9ja@@Stan@Goal@Ade & other progressives team .
@Dr Drey , All those listed allegation against Rohr & his Business partners NFF, I remained unchanged, I stand by them except the lie where you alleged that I claimed Rohr was getting 4 times salary of Nigerian past coaches ,we have always believed he is paid $50k as your group always lied in this loop as his padded salary 2 years ago was hidden from the progressives.
1 There is a salary sharing deal between Rohr & his business partners NFF 50/50 because NFF knew Rohr was not qualified for S/E job ( Erickson exposed NFF and up till now no any past or present NFF members ever denied the obvious allegation; it is only a failed & fraudulent coach like Rohr that would agree to such deal ) that was why he could fought NFF for $150k ridiculous promised that is not in his contract because, he knew NFF wanted to pocket their “arrangee” $150k verbal promised for beating Argentina in a friendly match !! ( did you have shame at all ? that a statutory organization’s board chairman would singlehandedly made a verbal promised to a coach for winning ordinary friendly match , I am ashamed of my countrymen NFF , this is fraud and corruption taken to the next level ( Rohr only cried out so as to get his fair share of the deal , that is why he keep shot when he collected the &90k)
Thank God , for the effort of our progressives team all that fraudulent the so called improved contract have been over reversed ,to what Rohr actually worth . What an humiliated coach , even our Nigerian coaches Siasia , Keshi and Oliseh couldn’t be so ridiculed to such extent of agreeing to be paid in Naira, now he is getting the taste of what Nigerian coaches gets from NFF. Turning to a beggar, I thought he claimed some ghosts countries are seriously in need of his mediocre services . Shioo !
Lastly, please direct your frustration to @Dr Banks your group member that exposed the fraudulent contract news of Rohr and his business partners in the platform, with his truthful analysis in departure to how your group normally hide negative news of your demigod and for always turning fact upside down. @Dr Banks, kudos for your brilliant and unbiased analysis and exposing the fraud between Rohr and his business partners NFF ( it is unusual of your group , we cannot wait seeing you in the progressives group which you ought to have belong to.
@Am very proud of my guys @Destar @omo9ja@ Larry@ Goal@ you guys are wonderful and GOD will continue to bless you all. We can t stop saying the truth. GR is not good as super eagles coach. We will still souport him if nff renew his contract but am afraid because he cant do more than what he has been doing since 2016. he has not done anything special. I keep on wondering why the so called Dr drey and his boys have been making noise here. chelsea sacked Dimateo after wining champions league for chelsea for the first time. Man u sacked Morinho after helping them to win uefa. heavens will not fall If nff sacK GR. Yes we have the players now but the problem is coach. I will advice nff to go for a better coach if they want to win next afcon. OBETODUN OWOLOPA.
Liverpool did not sack did not sack Klopp for not winning the EPL in his 1st attempt, Mancity did not sack Gaudiola..(the real guadiola) for not winning the EPL in his 1st attempt, both teams are counting the gains today. Heavens will not fall too if Rohr stays.
The coach is not good but the SE is making progress under him day by day since 2016. Leave us like that with the coach that is not good. Your fake guadiolas set us back 50 yrs by taking us back to 1960’s when we were ranked 16th in Africa.
Dr Drey you are too much. This guys are just distractors they only come here to expose their way of thinking. This one @Stan will tell you he doesn’t trust local coaches anymore despite claiming our African Guardiolas are better than Rohr now he want a world class coach LMAO! Don’t worry @Stan you will find the world class after the 2022 WorldCup because Rohr will still be here for another 2 and 1/2 years.
@Stan, well said bro..
Heaven will not fall if GR’s contract is not renewed. If the contract is renewed, reaching the final of next afcon should be part of the conditions.
I have no doubt the nff will make the right decision.
They’re already smart enough to hand him a 2 and 1/2 years contract which he has signed already. That is the right decision they’ve made already. You will have to keep rambling till after the 2022 WorldCup because Rohr stays for now. #FLY LIKE AN EAGLE INTO THE FUTURE#
I don’t know why csn is not reporting GR contract renew extension. Lol Hope csn has not join the regressive group?
