The Minister of Youth and Sports, Sunday Dare, has told Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr to “shut up” and do his job.
Dare spoke following a controversy generated by a comment by Rohr that he was employed to coach the “A Team” only.
He stated this after delegating Austin Eguavon, Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation, to handle the home-based Super Eagles team for this weekend’s friendly against Mexico.
The minister described Rohr’s attitude towards home-based players as unacceptable and called on the NFF to call him to order.
Speaking while on a visit to the team on Tuesday ahead of its Wednesday departure for the friendly, Dare said, “His attitude towards home-based players is unacceptable; it is negative to our football development in this country.
“I call on the NFF to call him to order. I call on the NFF to hold him by the content of the letter of his contract, but beyond that, he needs to shut up and do the work for which he was hired to do. He talks too much.”
