Gernot Rohr
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has sacked Gernot Rohr as technical adviser of the Super Eagles.
The NFF confirmed the development in a statement posted on its website on Sunday.
Augustine Eguavoen was named the interim coach of the three-time African champions.
The statement reads: “The Nigeria Football Federation has appointed Mr Augustine Eguavoen, currently its Technical Director, as the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles on an interim basis. This is with immediate effect, and follows the termination of the relationship with Franco-German Gernot Rohr, who has been in charge of the three–time African champions for the past 64 months, and is Nigeria’s longest–serving manager.
Eguavoen was coach of the Super Eagles team that finished in third place at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Egypt in 2006.
He will take charge of the team until the appointment of a substantive head coach
