Before Amaju Pinnick confirming that Rohr had signed on to remain the coach of the Super Eagles, widespread rumors trending on Twitter suggested that Harry Redknapp was in negotiations with the NFF to become the next coach of the Super Eagles with Peter Crouch as a member of his coaching staff.
Peter Crouch further fuelled the rumors after tweeting, “So excited to get my Nigerian passport through today #gosupereagles”.
Throughout his active coaching days, Harry Redknapp had players he could always rely on while building a team.
Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, and Niko Kranjcar were Redknapp’s henchmen.
Responses to Peter Crouch’s tweet were filled with humor and sarcasm as some fans, critics, and former players touted that Jerman Defoe, Niko Kranjcar, and Peter Crouch will all play for the Super Eagles if Harry Redknapp becomes the coach.
Now that it is clear that Rohr will remain at the helm, the rumors have now been debunked.
