The Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr has given his
permission to the squad to bring their wives and girlfriends to the 2018
World Cup in Russia.
The German-born coach made this known at a press conference organised
by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to unveil partners and
friendly matches for the squad ahead of the competition.
Rohr first stated that the Eagles will camp back home to see their loved ones before the competition.
He said “It will be good for the players to meet with their families after a long European season”
NFF president Amaju Pinnick also added saying: “Rohr has the final
say on this matter. I know other teams do it also but the buck rests on
the coach’s table and what he says is final.”
When questioned at the press conference, Rohr said after every game,
players will be given a day when they can welcome their families, wives
and girlfriends to camp, relax with them and socialise.
According to him “It will help the players psychologically and keep them focused for the task at hand.”
