Former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has turned his back to reports linking him with the vacant Ghana senior national team coaching job following the sacking of Milovan Rajevac.
The Ghanaian Football Association were livid with their national team elimination at the ongoing 2021 African Cup of Nations where they crashed out in the Group stage.
Ghana were tipped before the competition to succeed in Cameroon, but Milovan Rajevac and his wards failed to impress and suffered the consequences.
And since Milovan Rajevac was dismissed, many coaches including Gernot Rohr have been linked with the job ahead of the final World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria.
