Rohr didn’t reject his house – NFF

Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, has said he did not reject the accommodation given to him by the Nigeria Football Federation during his stay in Nigeria. Earlier publications on Tuesday had suggested that the German turned down his home insisting it was “too big” for him.The NFF through their website  stated that Rohr, who managed the senior national team for the first time in a 1-0 home win against Tanzania earlier this month, “expressed displeasure at the way people were using his openness and easy accessibility to quote him out of context and attempt to derail him from the core assignment he has at hand.”“I never rejected any apartment,” he was quoted as saying. “I might have spoken to a few people who I believed to be genuinely interested in me, saying that the apartment was very big and I joked that I might get lost inside it when I start to live there, but I never rejected it. “When the federation engaged me, and told me I had to live in Nigeria, I agreed to it because I believe that my base has to be in the country where I work. I did the same in Niger, Burkina Faso and Gabon, and I do not see it any differently in Nigeria.”
