NFF Technical Director, Agustine Equaveon has stated that coach Gernot Rohr have been part of every home-based Super Eagles training session, contrary to reports.
Rohr has been heavily criticised for not taking charge of the team ahead of the team for the international friendly against Mexico.
Speaking to media Eguaveon said he’s in charge of the team, because Nigeria Football Federation asked him to do so. He also explained that Rohr has been part and parcel of every training session, since the players reported to camp.
“I was asked by the NFF to take charge of the Super Eagles for the Mexico friendly. There is nothing I can do than to respect my employers.
“Rohr has also chipped in some advise and he has been part of every training session that we had.”
“He asked me why the players are not also training in a gym and Itold him the hotel the players are lodged does not have a gym, but there is a misunderstanding, people are saying he doesn’t want to be involved and this is not his team, but I want them to get their facts right. He said.
