'I never lost a match 4-0' — Rohr laments Super Eagles humiliating defeat to Portugal

Former Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has reacted to Nigeria's humiliating defeat to Portugal in their last friendly.

The Super Eagles suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat to the Selecao at the Jose Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon on November 17.

A brace from Bruno Fernandes and a goal each from Goncalo Ramos and Joao Mario condemned Jose Peseiro's team to yet another defeat in a friendly game.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Brila FM, Gernot Rohr lamented the Super Eagles poor performance and his disappointment with the outcome of that game.

The 69-year-old Franco-German coach added that he didn't recognise his Super Eagles players with the poor quality of display on that night.

"I watched the game against Portugal in Lisbon. I didn't recognize my players at all. I wasn't happy with how they played and the result.

"I never lost a match 4-0 to any team during my five years as coach."

Rohr was sacked by the Pinnick-led NFF administration on December 12, 2021, after qualifying the Super Eagles for the 2021 Nations Cup.

He was the longest-serving Super Eagles head coach after taking charge of the national team from 2016 to 2021.
