Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has thanked the team’s former coach Gernot Rohr for the turnaround in his career with his invitation to the Nigerian team.
Megasportsarena.com reports that the German, who is the longest serving Nigerian coach, was dismissed on Sunday due to poor performances by the team and was replaced by former captain and coach Austin Eguavoen.
“You turned my young football career around, helped me and gave this career a big boost!
“You let me do what I always dreamed of, Playing for my fatherland Nigeria.”
“Thank you for almost 3 amazing years, your support and your trust.
“I’m wishing you all the best Coach Rohr!”
Okoye made his Nigeria debut under Rohr in a friendly against Brazil in November 2019 and has been capped 15 times.
