The NFF President said the 68-year-old coach failed to enforce discipline in the team, adding that there were so many things not known to the public on the matter.
“We didn’t want a disaster to happen before taking decision”, he added.
Pinnick said the last two games under Rohr were abysmal and Nigeria won’t have qualified for the last round of the World Cup, if not for providence.
“We did everything that we could, but one major factor was that discipline in the team is lost practically. In the dressing room, discipline in the team was at its lowest edge and once you remove discipline, that foundation in the team has cracked.
“Players now talk back at you, players believe that they are indispensable. A lot of factors that will now militate against the team. We are only owing about two matches of all the matches they played in both AFCON qualifiers and World Cup qualifiers,” the NFF boss said.
