General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Mohammed Sanusi, has said that head coach of the national team, Gernot Rohr, has the final say on Vincent Enyeama’s recall to the Super Eagles.
Rohr has spoken severally about his plans to bring back the Lille goalkeeper, who retired from international football in 2015, after falling out with former Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh.
While some feel his return will add strength to the goalkeeping department ahead of Russia 2018, others think it could stir a captaincy row with John Obi Mikel.
“The NFF does not interfere in the choice of players or goalkeepers for the national teams,” Sanusi told Guardian.
“We gave Rohr the free hand to pick whoever he feels capable of playing in the Super Eagles. I won’t say we are in support of his decision to bring back Enyeama neither will I say we are against it. Rohr’s decision is final as far as such issue is concerned.”
