The Nigeria Football Federation NFF has been ordered to pay former coach of the Super Eagles Gernot.

The Nigeria Football Federation NFF has been ordered to pay former coach of the Super Eagles Gernot Rohr about 380,000 dollars in compensation after ending his contract early.

Nigeria’s longest-serving manager having taken charge in August 2016,  lost his job as Super Eagles coach in December just four weeks before the delayed 2021 Africa Cup of Nations kicked off in Cameroon.

The NFF had agreed to pay Rohr’s salary until the end of his contract, which expires in December 2022, but the Franco-German went to football’s world governing body FIFA to demand an additional sum for breach of contract without just cause and has been granted 377,879, dollars by the FIFA tribunal after he demanded one million pounds.

The ruling by the FIFA players’ status chamber added that the NFF would be sanctioned if Rohr was not paid in full within 45 days.
