Indications have emerged that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) may be losing confidence in the Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr following the abysmal performance of the team against the Bafana Bafana at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium Uyo, Akwa Ibom state. The team lost 2-0 to the visitors in the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifier.
Following the ugly development, the NFF Technical Committee, led by Chris Green summoned Rohr to an emergency meeting. A member of the Committee revealed to Vigil360 that Green told that German tactician that though the Technical Committee had given him free hands in the selection of players, it will now scrutinize team lists for subsequent games.
"We called for the establishment of the scouting unit in the technical department and that henceforth, we should have a pre-knowledge of players invited before making it public. The technical adviser must appear at a press conference where such list will be announced to the public and questions will be asked as regards the list. And there must be a good synergy between the technical crew and technical department cum the committee".
He added that the Committee also “resolved that certain persons will be deployed to observe training and all sort of things going on in the team. We also asked that only players playing regularly for their clubs should be invited to the national team".
