Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr isn’t keen on exploring the recent adjustment proposed by FIFA for players wishing to switch nationality.
The coach who has been active in luring players of Nigerian heritage since his appointment in 2016 has in recent times fail to lure the duo of Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori to the Nigerian national team from England .
Speaking on the new rules, a source close to the coach told owngoalnigeria.com that even though the coach is aware of the adjustment proposed by FIFA, Rohr isn’t interested in using that option at least for now.
“ No player who turned down Nigeria will be approached to have a change of mind base on the proposed adjustment. We have moved on from them and we can only wish them the best in their careers”, he said when asked about the chances of using the new rule to make another push for Tomori and Abraham.
