Former coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has arrived Qatar to begin his new job schedule for the period of the 2022 World Cup taking place in the Asian country.
Rohr lost his job as coach of the Nigerian team just before the World Cup qualifiers playoff. In his absence Austine Eguavoen failed to lead the team to the World Cup losing out on away goal rule to Ghana after a 1-1 draw in Abuja.
Despite Nigeria failing to make it to the World Cup, the German coach will be at the tournament as one of the analyst for French television channel, where his vast knowledge of African football will be needed for games involving teams from the continent.
OwnGoalNigeria.com exclusively gathered that he has already arrived in Qatar just in time for the opening ceremony and will be there until after the World Cup. He is yet to get a job since he was sacked by Nigeria. At the World Cup, he will speak on the five African teams who made it to the tournament.
The five teams from Africa are the Black Stars of Ghana, Teranga Lions of Senegal, Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, Atlas Lions of Morocco and Carthage Eagles of Tunisia.
