Super Eagles coach Rohr defends decision on his reliance on foreign-based players

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has defended his decision on his over-reliance on foreign-based players.

There have been calls for the German tactician to introduce more home-based players in his squad in order to help develop the Nigeria Professional Football League.

Recently, president of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick revealed some terms that will be part of the 66-year-old's new contract and it is believed the German tactician will be mandated to include a certain number of players based in the country in his squad.
