The 66-year-old tactician explained that he critically looks at players before inviting them to feature for the Super Eagles.

" I can take the best players and I don’t do it alone. We have a team and our staff. I have my assistant, I have my analyzer,” he continued.

" Each Monday we have our meetings and we speak about the games played at the weekend and what our players did.

" We have to take the best ones no matter where they are coming from."

Rohr will be hoping to guide Nigeria to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and 2022 FIFA World Cup finals when international football resumes, which also form part of the conditions in his new contract he signed recently."
