His current deal will expire in June 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Pinnick said, \u201cWe are going to present the contract proposal to Rohr next month and we have already mandated the first Vice-President to constitute the legal team to draft the new proposal, which will be made available to the coach next month.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pinnick expressed the NFF\u2019s desire to retain Rohr as Super Eagles\u2019 manager, adding, however, that in the negotiations, Nigeria\u2019s interest would be paramount.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cIf we don\u2019t want him to continue as Eagles manager, we would not even contemplate drafting a new proposal for him, but we are okay with him. We only want to institute some things that would protect the interest of Nigeria and its football in the new contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why we are starting next month so that he can have enough time to study the offer and accept.
