Rohr must reside in Nigeria to coach Eagles, Pinnick insists

Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick has revealed that the new contract for Super Eagles’ Manager, Gernot Rohr, includes a clause that the Franco-German must reside in the country to coach the senior national team.Pinnick has also disclosed that the NFF would move into its permanent residence, the Sunday Dankaro House, early next year.Speaking in Lagos yesterday, Pinnick said the federation had decided to ensure that whoever coached any of the national teams paid total attention to the job hence the fresh clause in the new contract for Rohr.According to Pinnick, “We will start negotiating the new contract with Rohr in January. That would give us time to plan for the qualifiers, which begin in March. “We are not going to compromise our national integrity again. He must live in Nigeria and can go to Europe two or three times a year. “He can stay either in Lagos or Abuja, where we are ready to provide a befitting accommodation for him.“Other national teams’ coaches live in the countries where they work and ours cannot be different.“I must admit that the last contract was loose in so many areas, but we want to correct that now.”Pinnick said...
