Nigerian footballer , Ahmed Musa’ s
sensational transfer to Kano Pillars has
been applauded by Super Eagles coach
Gernot Rohr.
Rohr said he believes his captain can
gain match fitness at the NPFL club .
Ahmed Musa became a free agent in
October when he parted ways with
Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr and he will
now be at Pillars till he agrees on terms
with a foreign club .
“ I am delighted for Ahmed Musa to be
able to play again with his old club of
Kano Pillars , ” Rohr said.
“ This will allow him to keep in shape
while waiting to find a club elsewhere
in the world . ”
“ Kano Pillars are a good club and I
wish him all the best at the club , ” he
added .
Rohr came under heavy criticism after
he called up Ahmed Musa for last
month ’ s AFCON qualifiers against Benin
and Lesotho
He won his 96 th cap with the Eagles as
a late substitute against Lesotho.
The second round of the 2022 World
Cup qualifiers begin in June , with
Nigeria drawn in the same group as
