Fortuna Dusseldorf goalkeeper Maduka Okoye believes the Nigeria national team will achieve greater success under Gernot Rohr.
The 66-year-old was recently handed a new contract by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) following the expiration of his previous deal with the West Africans.
Rohr has been in charge of the Super Eagles since 2016 after taking over from Sunday Oliseh and led the side to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The Franco-German tactician also guided the three-time African champions to finish third in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nation in Egypt, having missed the previous two editions in 2015 and 2017.
The former Bordeaux manager has been mandated to qualify the Super Eagles for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and win the next Afcon title in 2021.
Okoye, who is excited with the renewal of Rohr’s contract, believes the Franco-German can achieve the feat, backing him to take the team to greater heights.
“I’m very happy with Rohr’s two-year contract extension. He’s a great coach and I think everybody feels very comfortable with him as a coach,” Okoye told the Punch.
