Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has hit back at one of his fierce critic in former Super Eagles striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni .
Aiyegbeni has been relentless in his criticism of the coach insisting that the team hasn’t made any appreciable progress since Rohr was employed in 2016 as coach of the team.
Rohr who isn’t known to be vocal in an interview with ESPN by respected Nigerian journalist Colin Udoh hit back with a reminder of the low ranking of the Super Eagles before he was appointed as coach.
Super Eagles were ranked 67th before the coming of the coach and at a time 24th under his guidance but per the new ranking release by FIFA earlier today they are 34th. Nevertheless Rohr pointed it out as part of the progress the team has made under his tutelage.
“All that is a little bit unimportant,” Rohr fired back. “But what I can say is that when I arrived, the FIFA ranking was worse and now it is much better.
