The Franco-German coach recently made headlines when he led Benin Republic to a shock 2-1 victory over the Super Eagles in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier, adding further intrigue to his presence at the Olympic clash.
Rohr's abrupt departure from the Super Eagles came just before the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and the World Cup qualifiers, with Augustine Eguavoen taking over the reins but failing to achieve success in both tournaments. Eguavoen was subsequently replaced by the current coach, Jose Peseiro.
