Gernot Rohr set to takeover as Mali’s coach

Former Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has been linked with the vacant coaching role of the Eagles of Mali.

Mali had dismissed their former coach Mohamed Magassouba following the Eagles’ failure to qualify for the World Cup.

And Rohr, who is vastly experienced in African football, has been rated as a top candidate for the job.

Other coaches listed are former Mali international, Eric Chelle, former coach of the Malian national team, Djibril Drame and AS Otoho coach, Alou Badra Diallo.

The Malian football federation (FEMAFOOT) had revealed that there are stronger considerations for the four coaches mentioned.

Rohr worked in Nigeria for five years, leading the country to one African Cup of Nations third-place finish and getting eliminated at the group stage of the World Cup.

The former Bayern Munich and Bordeaux defender is the coach who served the longest in charge of the Nigerian senior national football team.

Rohr had been linked with the Malian job in the past but said he chose Nigeria at the time.
