A chieftain of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has revealed why sacking the coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr is a difficult task in the wake of calls for his dismissal.
Following another uninspiring performance yesterday in the 1-1 draw against Cape Verde, calls for the coach to be axed became more louder despite the team sealing a spot in the play off for the World Cup 2022 qualifiers.
Rohr signed fresh terms one year ago to continue in his role as coach of the Nigerian team till after the 2022 Word Cup but with some clauses that will see his contract terminated if they are not met.
With calls for his sack gaining more grounds, a high ranked board member of the NFF told OwnGoalNigeria.com that it will amount to a breach of contract if they decide to fire the coach as he hasn’t fallen short of any of the clauses that could trigger a termination of his appointment.
” It’s impossible for now I must confess. Let me say it’s very difficult because in life nothing is entirely impossible. We set some targets for him as part of the terms of clauses that can led to the termination of his job. So far he hasn’t fallen short. Firing him will amount to paying an exorbitant fee and also amount to a breach of contract. It’ss not straight forward”, he explained.
