Nobody can tell me who to select - Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has said that nobody can dictate to him the players to select for national duty.

Rohr's contract was extended a few days ago as revealed on social media by NFF President, Amaju Pinnick.

The German tactician is now expected to ensure that Nigeria qualifies for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and win the 2021 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

“It is not a part of my contract to take players who are not so good. I can choose my players myself. It is the most important [thing]. So, nobody can tell me ‘You have to pick this one or that one,” Rohr told Channels TV.

“I can take the best players and I don’t do it alone. We have a team and our staff. I have my assistant, I have my analyzer.

“Each Monday we have our meetings and we speak about the games played at the weekend and what our players did. We have to take the best ones no matter where they are coming from.”
