It has been 32 months since the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) named Gernot Rohr as the manager of the Nigeria national football team, called the Super Eagles.
In that time, he has superintended the qualification for the 2018 World Cup and the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Cup.
In the current FIFA ranking, only South Africa ranks below Nigeria in 74 – while the other five countries rank above Nigeria in her 46th position. In an interview before the dead rubber African Cup qualifiers against Seychelles last weekend, Rohr postulated the Eagles could not be considered favourites for the 2019 Nations Cup scheduled for Egypt on account of their present ranking in Africa.“There are other countries in front of us, I think we are fourth,” Rohr revealed.
If Rohr or his handlers had taken time to understudy Nigerians, they would have found out that Nigerians are always aspirational no matter the present circumstance. Thus he would not have asked such a rhetorical question because he would have known it would further undermine his already questionable pedigree to add anything substantial to the Super Eagles.
