FIFA has concluded its findings and would be delivering its verdict on the $1m claims being made by Rohr in 7-14 days time.
Rohr, who was Nigeria’s longest-serving manager after taking charge in August 2016, was sacked in December just four weeks before the delayed 2021 Nations Cup kicked off in Cameroon.
The NFF sacked him with one year left in his contract without compensation. The Nigerian football Federation had agreed to pay Rohr’s salary until the end of his contract, which expires in December 2022, the former Burkina Faso and Niger coach dragged the NFF to FIFA seeking compensation for what he termed as ” ‘unfair’ sack.”
That claim was contested by the NFF, and a FIFA tribunal examining Rohr’s claim for damages concluded last week.
However, a verdict is yet to be communicated to either party.
“Mr Rohr’s the only one talking in the media about a case that is already with Fifa,” a top NFF official told BBC Sport Africa.
“That matter is being handled by our legal department and we are waiting [for] a verdict this week or next week before making any official statement.”
