The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have commiserated with Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr on the death of his mother, Elizabeth Rohr, reports Completesports.com.
Elizabeth died on Thursday at the ripe age of 97. Details of her death is yet to be made public.
“We commiserate with @NGSuperEagles Head coach, Mr Gernot Rohr who just lost his mother Madam Elisabeth Rohr. She was 97. May her soul rest in peace,”reads a tweet on the official Twitter handle of the Nigeria Football Federation.
Rohr led the Super Eagles to a 2-2 draw in a friendly encounter against Ukraine at the Dnipro Stadium on Tuesday.
The former Gabon coach has been in charge of the three time African champions since 2016, after taking over from former boss Sunday Oliseh.
The German tactician led Nigeria to win bronze medal at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations held in Egypt earlier this summer.

May her gentle soul R.I.P
IF YOU HAVE SUBSTITUTED ON TIME MAYBE WE COULD HAVE NOT DRAW THIS MATCH. ROHR LEARN HOW TO MAKE SUBSTITUTED ON TIME EITHER FRIENDLY OR NOT SUBSTITUING AROUND 60 MINS OF PLAYING TIME WILL REINFORCE THE TEAM TO ACCELERATE POINTS GATHERING. THIS IS MY PROBLEM WITH ROHR, EARLY SUBSTITUTE DO IT ALL AND BE MINDFUL OF YOUR BENCH ANY PLAYER YOU ARE NOT USING DONT CALL. CALL THEM FOR TESTING AT FRIENDLY LET THEM FUMBLE AT FRIENDLY THAN PUTTING THEM ON THE BENCH IN REAL MATCHES . REST ON OLD WOMAN, HOPE MY PARENT GET TO REACH THIS AGE BUT THEY ARE NOT CHANCED TO BELIEVING TO REACH 97 AND 100 BEFORE CALL TO GLORY IN JESUS CHRIST NAME AMEN.
My condolence to mr rohr. May her soul rest in peace.
