euro-2016-gernot-rohr-petit-avantage-la-franceNew Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has revealed that there is no guarantee that Nigeria, would be in the World Cup in Russia, come 2018. Rohr, was appointed as the new manager for the Super Eagles by the NFF, on a monthly salary of $40,000, with a mandate to take the Super Eagles to the 2018 World Cup. 

While speaking in Uyo, ahead of the inconsequential AFCON qualifier against Tanzania on Saturday, said -  Nigeria is in a tough group in as much as the qualifiers were concerned, adding that it would take a lot of hardwork for the tea to make it to Russia. In his words - "There is no guarantee that the Super Eagles will be in Russia because there is so much quality in our group, but the motivation is very high. We are going to try our best, but again, I cannot guarantee that Nigeria is going to the next World Cup".
