'I'm not bothered about salary yet, everyone who signed the contract looked honest'- New coach Gernot Rohr
Nigeria's new technical
adviser Gernot Rohr has revealed that his main focus at the moment is
qualifying the Super Eagles for Russia 2018 and not thinking about whether
he'll be paid his salary or not.
Rohr, who has worked
with Niger previously, where he was owed for six to eight months, has been
given a two year contract by the NFF and has been tasked with qualifying the
team for Russia 2018.
Rohr was speaking today
in a media press briefing at Le Meriden Hotel, Uyo, Akwa Ibom and when he was
asked by a reporter why he chose to still coach Nigeria despite the Football
Association's treatment of coaches like Samson Siasia in the past, he
responded, saying his focus is on building a formidable team to take the team
to the next World cup.
“My problem at the moment is not when my salary
is coming; my problem is building a national team,” he said. “We have a
contract, and I see everyone who signed the contract as being honest.”
Rohr also said he came
with “German mentality”, and that he was proud to be in Nigeria working with
the Super Eagles.
