Rohr made his opinion known in a message on the Super Eagles official twitter handle where he talked about the achievements and weaknesses and what to expect from the team.

He said, “Obviously it’s a big year for Nigerian football. Let”s have a great football season with a successful AFCON.

 “My squad is still improving but I believe our young team will work hard to make Nigerians proud. I wish all our fans worldwide good health and happiness.”

After their last encounter against the Cranes of Uganda, the Super Eagles are set to face Seychelles in a 2019 AFCON qualifier before a friendly against the Pharaohs of Egypt in an international trophy.
