Former coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr is among contenders to be named as new coach of struggling Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.
Bordeaux are currently 19th on the log in Ligue 1 and after the 5-0 thrashing suffered in the hands of Reims, the club decided to part way with their coach Vladimir Petkovic two days ago.
The search for a replacement has started in earnest and Rohr who was sacked as coach of Nigeria is among potential candidates for the job due to his knowledge of the team as a player and former coach.
He managed the team from 1990 to 1996 and till date still holds the club’s glorious achievement of leading them to an European Cup final, where they were beaten by German giants Bayern Munich after losing 1-3 at home and 0-2 away over two legs in the UEFA Cup final in 1996.
Per reports in the French media he is one of the six names pencilled down for consideration as the team is on the look out for an experienced manager who can help their cause to beat the drop to Ligue 2.
