‘It’s too Big’ – Eagles Coach Rohr Rejects Abuja House
Nigerians are
quite taken with new Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, with many claiming he sends
the right vibes, and his latest act may further endear him to the
suspicious Nigerian football public.
Vanguard reports
that Rohr, 63, has rejected a three-bedroom apartment provided for him in Abuja
by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on the grounds that it is “too big”.
The German
tactician, who is married to an African wife, told Glass House officials he
could do with a much smaller home after inspecting the three-bedroom property
in Jabi.
An official
accommodation is part of the perks of the nation’s top football job, in
addition to the state-of-the-art official car provided for him by the NFF.
The official car
first purchased to be used by erstwhile coach Sunday Oliseh is now being fixed
after it was used by Samson Siasia beyond his two-game stint with the Eagles
for the AFCON 2017 qualification doubleheader against Egypt in March.
Rohr was hired
in August with the mandate to qualify the country for the Fifa 2018 World Cup
in Russia from a tough group that features former African champions Algeria,
Cameroon and Zambia.
He began the job
on a winning note after Kelechi Iheanacho’s rocket secured a 1-0 victory over
Tanzania, and the Franco-German has assured that the Eagles will be at the
Mundial in Russia.
