"I want Enyeama back in the national team" - Coach Rohr told Nigerians



New Super Eagles technical adviser had made it known to Nigerians that he wants former Super Eagles goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama back to the national team. The No.1 Lillie stopper quits Super Eagles after a feud with the former coach of the national team Sunday Oliseh, that later led to his captaincy being stripped off by the former national team coach Oliseh.

Vincent Enyeama was not happy with the former coach decision to strip off  his captaincy from him, which led to the goal keeper decision to call it a time to retire from the national team.
But coach Rohr came out honest with Nigerians while speaking with the journalist during pre-match press conference at Le Meridien hotel Uyo, ahead of their clash against Tanzania on Saturday that he knows Enyeama's quality having seen him playing for Lille in last 2 seasons and he wants him back in the national team.



“I asked about Enyeama when I signed because I know his qualities. I also spoke with the goalkeepers’ coach Alloy Agu and he spoke highly of him. I’ve called and spoken with Enyeama since my resumption but nothing is settled yet. I will see him after the Tanzania game, because I saw him play in France and he’s the kind of player we need to help us move forward.” Mr Rohr told reporters ahead of Tanzania’s game in Uyo.
