Super Eagles of Nigeria defeated Tunisia to win Bronze at the ongoing AFCON in Egypt.
However, the NFF president Mr.Amaju Pinnick appeared to have snubbed the coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr during the medal 🥉 presentation.
The coach looked startled after the NFF president walked past him in a bid to hand over the remaining medal to someone else…
Although some people are of the opinion that the embattled president later hugged the coach.
Watch the video below and observe keenly…
Meanwhile, news are making waves that Gernot Rohr would be sacked but Amaju Pinnick has different plans for him.
See what he said below..
“Gernot Rohr will not be sacked as Super Eagles coach. He will remain in the job. I have complete confidence in him,” Pinnick revealed.
“Gernot has taken us to the semi-final, the target we set for him. Right now, we have a third-place match to play for and we intend to have our team leave Egypt with honours.
“There are some people that have been calling on me and the federation to sack Gernot. But I am not going to do that.
“In fact, Gernot is going on a refresher training period with Bayern Munich after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. We have a long-term plan with him.
“We have had rocky and difficult moments in our relationship, but this is normal in any relationship between two people.
“He is a good coach and we want him to remain with us. That said, we will work together on what needs to be improved upon.”
The 63-year-old Rohr, who was appointed as Super Eagles boss in 2016, qualified and led Nigeria to the 2018 Fifa World Cup Russia, where they bowed out after the group phase.
