Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has stated he is focused on the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifying games against the Central African Republic and he does not want to think about reports of his unpaid salaries.
Rohr has battled with delayed salary payment since he took charge of the three-time African champions in 2016.
After Rangers centre-back Leon Balogun voiced out over the unpaid salaries and bonuses in July, the Nigeria Football Federation responded immediately and vowed to pay all outstanding fees.
When asked if he has been paid his salaries ahead of Thursday’s match at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Rohr said: “I will answer with a big silence because one day before the match I don’t want to think about these things, I want to focus on my team, on the game, on our strategy and the dry training session and let’s speak about it soon after.
