Two former coaches of the senior national team of Nigeria have proven that they still have best wishes for the players and the team by extension with their recent act towards a player of the team, OwnGoalNigeria.comreports.
The longest ever serving foreign coach Gernot Rohr who left his role in 2021 has constantly spoken about the team, even though they are group rivals in the world cup 2026 qualifiers. He showed his human side ahead of the game against his team in June.
Rohr sent a message of support to Moses Simon who got injured in the friendly game against Mali and required surgery that will keep him out for three months. The surgery went well and he is in his first stage of rehabilitation.
Erstwhile coach Jose Peseiro also reached out to Simon to show his support. The Nantes winger was one of the players the coach picked as his favorite not just in terms of his abilities but in the manner which he conducts himself on and off the pitch.
