Former Arsenal star, Nwankwo Kanu, has backed Gernot Rohr to continue as coach of the Super Eagles.
Speaking with brila.net, the former Ajax star noted that Rohr should be supported for what he’s doing with the team at the moment.
“Has he done well? Yes, he qualified the country to a world cup, if you see his records he did not lose any game during the world cup qualifiers proper, yes we didn’t go past the second round, but that doesn’t mean it’s a disaster,’ Kanu said.
‘It means that we can build from where he stops so saying he should leave the national team now, whoever they are bringing in, it means the person will have to start afresh.”
Kanu was also optimistic that the Eagles will book a place at the World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
