Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has stated he has a free hand to select his players



The German tactician has spoken of how players are chosen for the national team, explaining he takes the decision in consultation with his assistants.

Last week, the 66-year-old was handed a new two-year contract by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), following the expiration of his previous deal with the West Africans.

In March, Nosa Igiebor claimed he was shut out of the Super Eagles because he was not playing in a top league while the Franco-German tactician has also been accused of not introducing more Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) players into the national team.

Nigeria currently lead the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers Group L with six points after back-to-back victories against the Republic of Benin and Lesotho.

Before the outbreak of the coronavirus, Rohr handed an invitation to 23 players for the Super Eagles' Afcon qualifying game against Sierra Leone which was scheduled for March before it was postponed.

Rohr has been mandated to qualify Nigeria for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and win the 2021 continental title in Cameroon.
