By Sampson Adedeji

Ahead of his contract extension, Nigeria's Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has confirmed that he and his representative will meet with the Nigeria Football Federation executive in February, BSNSports.com.ng can report.

The contractual discussions of the Franco-German gaffer was earlier scheduled for January but shifted due to some reasons.

Rohr declared his intention to continue as the coach of the team as they continue to evolved.

He further explained on the exits of some key players in the team and the discoveries of new players to fill up the void.

We will see the leaders soon. The meeting is planned for the month of February and possibly before the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches in March. We can agree on the new contract.

“I have been there for more than three years and it is long for Nigeria , because rarely can a coach be maintained as long . It was possible because the results were good, the team has evolved and that we accomplished the mission of rejuvenation.

It was planned and we managed to do it with young players including two that you know, who play for Girondins Bordeaux (Samuel Kalu and Josh Maja), and we have others in England, in Spain, etc. We no longer have a big star, because John Obi Mikel has retired. Victor Moses also retired for family and age reasons.

We managed to find a scorer in Victor Osimhen , and other playmakers; we have Samuel Chukwueze who plays at Villarreal, the little Samuel Kalu from Bordeaux who plays very very well with us – one of the best every time he plays with Nigeria. So we have a very, very young, promising team, and I would like to continue," he concluded
