Sacked coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr says he will be willing to coach the Super Eagles of Nigeria again despite the nature of his exit from the team.
The coach was unceremoniously sacked from his role last week despite meeting all of the targets set for him by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Rohr however said if offered the chance to coach Nigeria again he will no doubt jump at it due to the love he has for the country and its football loving population.
“I learned to love Nigeria, because it’s a country of passion, a country of good people. Like everywhere, there are good people, and me, I remember only the good people. And that’s why, why not?”,he told Colin Udoh in an interview on ESPN.
On the issue of his sack, he said he still has a valid contract hence he will be paid for a year by the NFF in addition to the salaries he is owed before he was sacked.
“My contract is running until the end of next year, and the contract has been broken. And now I’m waiting not only for the [unpaid] salaries but also for the salaries until the end of the contract. This should now be handled by my lawyer. He will do everything for me. I’m outside now of these questions. The legal situation must be cleared”.
