Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye is the first Nigerian star to pay his respect to former team coach Gernot Rohr, who was relieved of his duties.
Rohr was given the boot in a statement published by the NFF on Sunday evening after more than five years in charge of the Super Eagles.
In his tribute to the former Super Eagles coach, the 22-year-old Maduka Okoye made his international debut under Rohr in a 1-1 draw against Brazil in November 2019.
Maduka has since gone on to become Nigeria’s number one and also secure a move to Watford from Sparta Rotterdam, where he is the club’s number one ahead of the move next summer.
Meanwhile, Rohr has disclosed that his Lawyers are in contact with the NFF of his financial compensation.
Rohr also told Brila.net that he is still in contract with the FA until the end of the year.
“My lawyers are working on it now,” Rohr mentioned. “My contract is going until the end of next year.”
