“I would like to continue as Nigeria coach” – Rohr targets contract renewal with Super Eagles

Gernot Rohr has expressed his desire to continue as Nigeria coach as he nears the expiry of his current contract with the three-time African champions.

The German joined the West African nation in August 2016 on an initial two-year deal which was renewed after the country secured a place in Russia 2018 until June 2020.

Since he took over at the helm, the former Bordeaux and Nice manager has guided the Super Eagles to the Fifa World Cup and the African Cup of Nations where they finished third in Egypt last year.
