“I will not ask NFF what is going on with my contract renewal. It’s for the NFF to approach me. I am still waiting,” Obayiuwana quotes Rohr on Twitter.

“My job is to focus on the Super Eagles, as long as I am the coach of this team. And I am going to do just that.

“Right now, my concern is that our players in Europe stay physically fit, even when they are not playing, because of the coronavirus situation.”

Part of the conditions stipulated in Rohr's contract is to live in the country, (Lagos or Abuja) and he will be allowed to travel for vacation three times in a year.

Rohr will not earn tax-free wages unlike before and his selection of players must be approved by the NFF Technical Committee.
