Speaking on his sack on Monday, Rohr told AFP about his frustration with the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations starting in Cameroon on January 9.

“It’s a huge frustration, but I don’t want to argue, it’s not my style,” Rohr told AFP.

“(I’m) convinced that they will have a very good AFCON because the team is in place and this very united group is ready for the challenges that await it.

“I’m going to have a hard time doing without these great players and this very united staff, but the environment is not always favourable, we cannot control everything,” Rohr said.
