Rohr cheers Super Falcons on

As spotted by Nigerian photojournalist Justina Aniefiok, Gernot Rohr was at the Bordeaux stadium to cheer the eleven-time African champions on against the South American giants.

As quoted by Brila FM, he claimed he was at the match because of Nigeria and predicted a 2-1 win for the Randy Waldrum-led side.

Rohr was the head coach of the male national team of Nigeria between 2016 and 2021, leading the team to a third place finish at the 2019 AFCON in Cameroon.

He is now the head coach of neighbours Benin Republic and led the Cheetahs to a 2-1 2026 World Cup qualifier win over the Super Eagles last month.

Rohr points at Super Eagles’ problem

Legit.ng reported that Rohr highlighted Super Eagles’ problem after guiding Benin Republic to a 2-1 win over Nigeria at the World Cup qualifier match.

The Franco-German manager claimed the team is struggling due to the new players who are yet to settle in the team, so they are still playing with the players he had.
