Nigeria Coach Refuses To Pick Ghana as Favourite to Win 2019 Africa Cup of Nations
Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has failed to include Ghana in his top four favourites to win the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The German trainer also did not include his Super Eagles side.
Rohr claims Senegal, Tunisia, Morocco and hosts Egypt have the credentials to emerge champions this July.
''No, I do not think we can say that. When we look at the ranking of Africa and FIFA, we are not the first African country,'' Rohr told girondins4ever.com.
''There are other countries in front of us, I think we are fourth. There is Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt that may be favourite at home for the AFCON, there is also Senegal in front of us.''
Rohr has named his squad to face bottom-placed Seychelles on Friday, 22 March in their final 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
