Rohr, who guided the Super Eagles to a third-place finish at the 2019 AFCON finals stated that the strikers can propel the team to a fourth title in Cote d’Ivoire.

“Nigeria is one of the favourites, of course,” began Benin Republic coach Rohr in an interview with veteran journalist Osazu Obayiwana.

“The strikers are fantastic. They need stability to be complete.

“The midfield can find the strikers with direct football, sometimes you have to take risks.”
