Super Eagles Manager Gernot Rohr has said he is 100 per cent focus to qualify Nigeria for the 2018 World Cup in Russia but in case he failed the country focus he will be left with no option to honour his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Rohr took over as coach of the Nigeria team last year on a two-year deal, which is tied to ensuring that Nigeria is in Russia. The qualification also means an automatic extension of his contract by another two years.
Failure to qualify Nigeria for the World Cup will leave his future as coach of the team in the hands of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), but the coach on Monday said he will leave the team if they fail to qualify regardless of what the NFF decides.
Rohr who fielded questions about his future if Nigeria fails to qualify for the World Cup in a live sport program on cable television mornitored on Monday night said;
“If we fail to win the ticket to be at the World Cup, for me I’ll say goodbye, but at the moment we are hopeful of getting a result against Cameroon, it is a challenge am willing to take. However, if I fail, I’ll leave.”
Although Nigeria currently leads their World Cup 2018 qualifiers group with four points ahead of their closest challengers Cameroon.
