Gernot Rohr has dismissed Herve Renard’s claim that Nigeria are one of the favourite teams to lift the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations title.
In an interview with Caf, Renard had claimed hosts Egypt - with Africa Player of the Year Mohamed Salah and the home crowd - are leading favourite, with defending champion Cameroon, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria also in the running for glory at the biennial event.
The Frenchman, a two-time winner with Zambia (2012) and Cote d'Ivoire (2015), currently coaches the highest ranked team on the continent, Morocco but stated that he would rather not boast of their chances.
