Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr has become a center of attraction following overtures being made to him by Moroccan football body. The body actually wants him to replace their senior team coach. This move has left Gernot Rohr in a state of dilemma whether to accept Moroccan proposal or continue managing Nigeria team and help prepare them ahead of the 2021 African Cup of Nations and the 2020 World Cup qualifiers.
This follows the resignation of Herve Renard, who led Morocco to Egypt 2019 African Cup of Nations but had to throw in the towel after Atlas Lion couldn't move beyond the second round of the competition
According to the source, Rohr, who has fallen out of favour with Nigerians following the unimpressive performance of the Super Eagles, is weighing his options and consulting with his friends before arriving at a decision.
“Don’t forget that he still has an existing contract with Nigeria, which he cannot break easily because of the financial implications.
“He has a close relationship with his players and top officials of the NFF hence his reluctance to quit Nigeria. But you can never say never.”
Renard, who won AFCON with Zambia (2012) and Cote d’Ivoire (2015), had been in charge since February 2016.
