Rohr Will Qualify Super Eagles For 2019 AFCON – Amuneke

By Augustine Akhilomen

Ex international, Emmanuel Amuneke has reiterated his confidence on Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr to qualify the team to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nation.

The three-time African champs lost their opening group fixture 2-0 to Bafana of South Africa on June 10, to sit third on the log behind Libya and South Africa.

However, the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winning member in Tunisia, told Soccernet.com.ng that Rohr has the capability to qualify Nigeria for the bi-annual tournament.

“I don’t think Nigerians should panic over the team 2-0 lose against South Africa in Uyo considering the fact that he played the game with a relatively unknown players,” Amuneke told Soccernet.com.ng.

“I believe the Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr must have learn from the little errors that ocurred in the match and will be seeking to redeem his image by ensuring the team qualify for the Nations Cup in Cameroon.”
