Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr tells KweséESPN there is no truth to rumours that he is considering resigning from his post.

Reports on Wednesday claimed that the German was frustrated by the NFF's Technical Committee's attempts to interfere in his team selection, and could tender his resignation as early as next week.

But Rohr insists that is not the case, saying: "I have seen the reports and there is no truth to this."

The rumours, originally reported in the UK, claimed that Rohr may tender his resignation when he meets with the Nigerian federation leadership in Morocco during the CAF meetings.

He was said to be very frustrated at what he considers "meddling" in his work by the NFF's Technical Committee led by Chris Green.

Nigeria lost 2-0 to South Africa in a 2019 African Nations Cup qualifier, but sit top of their qualifying group for the 2018 World Cup of 2018, and could all but secure a place at the World Cup in Russia with a win over Cameroon next month in Uyo.
