Sunday Dare Threatens Of Sacking Gernot Rohr

Minister for Youth and Sport Sunday Dare has hinted that Gernot Rohr could be sacked as Super Eagles head coach.

The Eagles could only record two points out of a possible six in the double-header against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone, in the 2021 AFCON qualifiers.

On matchday three the Eagles extraordinarily surrendered a four-goal lead to draw 4-4 against the Leone Stars in Benin on Friday. And in Tuesday’s return-leg in Freetown both teams settled for a 0-0 draw.

The performance of the Super Eagles from their last two matches calls to question the suitability and competences of Technical Adviser, Rohr. Nigerian football deserves better. The needful will be done. Apologies to all football lovers.
