Super Eagles Coach Rejects House in Abuja, His Reasons will make you Love him

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr is sending all the right vibes as his latest action have further endear him to the suspicious Nigerian football public.

According to a report by Vanguard, the 63 year old 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.
