Former Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has demanded one million dollars compensation from the Nigeria Football Federation for ‘unfair’ dismissal, Megasportsarena.com reports.
The former Niger and Gabon manager confirmed he was seeking compensation.
“Now this case is with Fifa and they will decide,” the 68-year-old said.
The NFF had agreed to pay Rohr’s salary until the end of his contract, which expires in December 2022, but the German went to football’s world governing body to demand an additional sum for damages.
That claim was contested by the NFF, and a FIFA tribunal examining Rohr’s claim for damages concluded last week. However, a verdict is yet to be communicated to either party.
“Mr Rohr’s the only one talking in the media about a case that is already with Fifa,” a top NFF official told BBC
“That matter is being handled by our legal department and we are waiting [for] a verdict this week or next week before making any official statement.”
