NFF must pay me N157m with interest – Rohr
Former Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, exclusively told PUNCH Sports Extra that the Nigeria Football Federation would have to pay him his outstanding salary with interest along with the current dollar rate following their delay in making the payment.
The Franco-German was relieved of his job as the Eagles gaffer last December, following a series of underwhelming performances by the three-time African champions.
Despite moves by the NFF to pay his salary until the end of his contract, which should have expired in December, Rohr, the Eagles’ longest-serving coach took the case to world football body FIFA, demanding an additional £1m for breach of contract “without just cause” but FIFA instead approved $377,879.46 (N155m as of December 2021 and N157m at the current official dollar to naira rate).
A ruling by the FIFA players’ status chamber in May ordered the NFF to pay Rohr the money within 45 days, after ending his contract abruptly adding that the country’s football governing body would be sanctioned if Rohr was not paid in full within 45 days.

Joshua tips Fury for boxing return
Two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua believes Tyson Fury will still make a return to the world of boxing, however, only when a huge fight is presented to him.
Joshua is on course to lock horns against Oleksandr Usyk in their title rematch on August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Joshua was outboxed by the Ukrainian boxer in London last September, relinquishing the WBA Super, IBF, IBO, and WBO titles simultaneously at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
With the focus for Joshua now on clinching the belts for the third time in his career, the British boxer reckons that Fury will only return to the ring if a fight with huge financial backing comes around the corner.
