Despite crashing out already, the new technical adviser of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr has named a powerful squad who would face Tanzania next month in the final match of the 2017 AFCON qualifiers.

The Super Eagles have already been eliminated from participating in the competition after a dismal perfomance in previous matches which saw the Nigerian side garner just 2 points in 3 matches. However, the upcoming match in Uyo would be Rohr’s first match in charge of the out of favour Eagles and it is obvious he isnt taking any chances in proving Nigeria might have been wrong not to have brought him in a long time ago.
