Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has been sent contract guidelines according to an official of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The 66-year-old has two months left on his current deal and negotiations were expected to have started in January but in March Rohr said he was still waiting to hear from the governing body.
The delay of the NFF to open negotiations with the German tactician has generated speculation the federation might be unwilling to renew the German tactician's contract.
