Former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr expresses confidence in Nigeria's World Cup qualification despite their challenging start. With Nigeria facing a must-win situation against Rohr's Benin team, tensions are high as both sides aim for victory.
Gernot Rohr, former coach of the Nigerian national football team, remains steadfast in his belief that the Super Eagles are the frontrunners to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite Nigeria's challenging start in the qualifiers.
With Nigeria securing only three points from their initial three games, placing them second from the bottom in Group C, Rohr's current team, Benin, sits in a promising second place with four points. As Rohr prepares to lead Benin against Nigeria in a crucial match, he acknowledges the Super Eagles' status as a formidable team but maintains his Cheetahs will strive for victory.
Reflecting on his tenure with the Super Eagles, Rohr expresses anticipation at reuniting with his former players but asserts that sentiment will be left off the pitch as both teams compete fiercely.
Southampton striker Paul Onuachu, who earned his Super Eagles debut under Rohr, echoes the sentiment of friendly rivalry, emphasizing his focus on securing a win for Nigeria.
