The Nigeria Football Federation have denied claim it is owing Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr three months salary, reports Completesports.com.
Veteran journalist, Osasu Obayiuwana had tweeted on Thursday that the Franco-German hadn’t been paid in three months.
The NFF in a series of tweets on Thursday afternoon also provided updates on the resignation of Thomas Dennerby from his post as Super Falcons head manager.
” The NFF wishes to put records straight with regards to a claim in the social media on Friday, 11th October 2019 that the football house is owing Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, three months’ salary,”reads the tweet.
”As we speak, Mr. Rohr is only being owed salary for the month of September 2019, which is being
processed . As for Mr. Thomas Dennerby, we have received his resignation letter and of course, he has his right to resign from a job. 2/5
” We want to put it on record that no Head Coach in the history of the Super Falcons has been afforded the level and readiness of support that has been provided Mr. Dennerby by this Board.
“Perhaps, one of the reasons he left was because we did not accede to his request to bring in more expatriate coaches and an indigenous coach who do not have the required license.
“If we had agreed to his request for more expatriate coaches, that would have left our indigenous coaches presently with the team in the lurch.”
Rohr and the Super Eagles are presently in Singapore where they will play five-times World Champions Brazil in a friendly on Sunday at the Singapore National Stadium, Kallang.

Who is lying to who here nff has said it openly,they didn’t hide anything here,where is dat lazy journalists dat raised dis nonsense story Let him come out and prove it to us,
I think the initial report that they were owing rohr for 3 good months was a big fat lie. Just the lazy work of a stupid journalist seeking attention and undeserved porlpularity. NFF couldn’t have come to say otherwise knowing full well that their own side of the story might be countered by reliable sources including, possibly, Rohr himself. We really need to be careful how we gulp stories (including junk stories) flying around on the internet, most of them ain’t true.
