Former Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has signed a contract with the Benin Republic as manager of the country’s national team for a three-year deal.
According to La Nouvelle Tribune, Rohr will be unveiled by the Benin Football Federation during a press conference on Friday.
The Franco-German will take charge of the team from former Benin international, Moussa Latoundji, who has been in temporary charge of the Squirrels.
Rohr was sacked by the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, in December 2021 despite helping the Super Eagles qualify for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and guiding the team to the final qualifying round for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The gaffer has also managed the Gabon, Niger Republic and Burkina Faso national teams.
His immediate task will be to help Benin qualify for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
