Gernot Rohr lacks talent to coach Nigeria – Akpoborie

Former Nigeria international Jonathan Akpoborie said coach Gernot Rohr lacks the talent to lead the Super Eagles and does not deserve an all-expenses paid refresher training programme in Europe.

Following the country’s third-place finish at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, the Nigeria Football Football Federation [NFF] boss Amaju Pinnick disclosed Rohr will remain at the helm of the national team.

Pinnick further stated the Federation's plan to send the 66-year-old on a training course with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich to upgrade his technical ability.

The news stunned Akpborie, who described it as a waste of the country’s funds.
