“Bruno Labbadia is a good coach with lots of experience and loves offensive football,” Rohr said on Brila FM.
“Congrats to Nigeria for getting a big coach and I hope he stays for more than five years like I did when I was Super Eagles coach and I hope he gets good results except against Benin Republic.”
Labbadia won the Bundesliga title as a player of Bayern Munich in the 1993/94 season and also won the DFB-Pokal with Kaiserslautern in 1990.

This naughty man called Rohr is turning to a nuisance now. How did you mean “ and I hope he stays for more than five years like I did when I was Super Eagles coach”?
Just mind your business please and focus on your job.
A good coach knows how to dissect the strength and weaknesses of his opponent, that’s the major difference between the foreign and local coaches. My respect to Gernot Rohr anytime any day!
Rohr spake da truth for the very first time. Meanwhile, we have given it to the Tech. Department of the NFF for this top quality appointment.
Rohr said something and you are shouting NFF. Why the NFF and besides, it’s obvious you want to mention the technical director.
Exactly the position of history.
I think i will also ask, why the NFF?
Rhor is trying to play the usual mind game…. attention!?
Come next week in uyo we will know who is the best coach gernot rohr likes talking too much
