Super Eagles’ Manager, Gernot Rohr’s plan to return to Nigeria for some of his official engagements has been disrupted by the Coronavirus outbreak, an official of the team has revealed.
Rohr, who is currently in France, was expected to return to Nigeria this month to participate in a series of programmes lined up by one of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) sponsors, but the current embargo on overseas flights to the country has made it impossible for the German to arrive as scheduled.
Super Eagles’ Media Officer, Toyin Ibitoye told Naijamixed news sources yesterday that Rohr, who has maintained contact with his players online, will return to the country as soon as the embargo on flights is lifted.
Rohr was supposed to be part of some programmes organized by NFF sponsors, but that is no longer possible because he cannot come into the country as things are now.
“The restriction on social gatherings and embargo on flights have forced the organisers of these events to suspend them pending when things will return to normal.
“Aside from the programmes, Rohr was also scheduled to meet with the Federation to plan for the African Nations Cup and World Cup qualifiers, among other issues, but these have also been put on hold,” Ibitoye said.
Ibitoye revealed that despite the sudden halt to all football activities across the world by COVID-19, the Super Eagles manager has been in constant touch with the players as the world awaits an end to the virus.
