Super Eagles won’t be considered as title favourites at the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt, Head Coach Gernot Rohr has admitted.
Nigeria qualified for the football showpiece in style; returning after missing two consecutive editions, but Rohr says it’s not lost on his players to stay humble and keep grinding.
In a telephone chat with Sports247, he downplayed any notion that the three times champion should be considered a favourite.
‘No we’re not title favourites, we have a good team and we can hope to go far, but we’re also not absolutely the favourite to win the competition.’
