Gernot Rohr holds first training session

Rohr a few weeks ago signed a two-year-contract with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) as the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles.

The first assignment for the German will be the 2017 African Cup of Nations dead rubber game against Tanzania on Saturday, September 3.

He was supposed to join the Super Eagles camp in Uyo on Monday, August 29 but a flight delay in Lagos meant he only arrived the following day.
