2026 WCQ: He beat Nigeria’s Super Eagles – Zimbabwe manager hails Rohr

Head coach of the Zimbabwe national team, Michael Nees has showered praises on Benin Republic manager, Gernot Rohr following their 2-2 draw in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Thursday.

Nees credited Rohr while acknowledging the strength of his team, adding that he led Benin Republic to beat Nigeria in the past.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Nees said Rohr is an experienced coach.

“The coach [Gernot Rohr] is an experienced coach, working with them [Benin] over two years and it's not by chance they beat Nigeria.”
