The Minister of Youth and Sports Development Mr Sunday Dare yesterday said he consented to a fresh contract for Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr because the Franco-German football tactician deserves the right of first refusal.
Before the contract between the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, and Gernot Rohr was renewed, speculations were rife that the minister of sports wasn’t favourably disposed to the contract renewal.
At a point, former England Manager, Harry Redknapp was linked with the Super Eagles job. However, the minister in a statement by his Senior Special Media Adviser, Mr. Joshua Akanji reiterated that Rohr’s contract was renewed because he deserved to be given the right of first refusal. (DailyTrust)
