‘Nothing is impossible’ - Former Super Eagles star Okonkwo backs Rohr to win Afcon

Chibuzor Okonkwo believes Nigeria national team coach Gernot Rohr can win the Africa Cup of Nations trophy.

The 66-year-old was recently handed a two-and-half-year contract by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) as his current deal is set to run out next month.

Confirming the contract extension on Wednesday, NFF president Amaju Pinnick stated the Franco-German tactician must win the next Afcon title in 2021.
