Following Super Eagles qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, several reports emerged that the NFF have offered a contract extension to Rohr until 2019.

The Media Officer of the Super Eagles, Toyin Ibitoye, however, denied the reports, revealing that Rohr’s contract with the NFF has not expired.

“Rohr still has a contract with the NFF, he is taking us to the World Cup, no extension, for now, it’s all speculation,” Ibitoye told Pulse Sports.

When Rohr was appointed coach of the Super Eagles in August 2016, his sole mandate was to take Nigeria to the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

“Any talk of a contract extension would be after the World Cup,” Ibitoye also told Pulse Sports.

Rohr’s initial contract was until 2018 with an option of extending the deal which means his contract will expire immediately after the World Cup.

Rohr’s Super Eagles sealed qualification with a game to play by beating Zambia 1-0 in Uyo on Saturday, October 7.

An Alex Iwobi goal ensured that Nigeria now have an unassailable 13 points from five games while second place Zambia have only seven.

Rohr sent a special ‘thank you’ message to Nigerians after the win against Zambia which guaranteed a FIFA 2018 World Cup ticket.

“Thank you Nigerians, we won this 2018 World Cup ticket together. I believe Russia 2018 World Cup will be a good adventure for us all,” the 64-year-old said in a statement.

This will be the first FIFA 2018 World Cup for the former Bordeaux, Nice and Gabon manager.
