Nigeria, coached by Gernot Rohr, will be back at the Nations Cup having missed the last two editions. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) says delays in paying the salaries of coaches were a 'short-term' issue and admits Gernot Rohr has only received a portion of his salary for 2019. "They received their 2018 World Cup money upfront and already the Nations Cup qualifying bonuses have been paid. "The Nations Cup is being handled by the government and they know that payments will be made once government releases its funding. Nigeria, the three-time African champions, will play in Group B at next month's Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, alongside Guinea, Madagascar and Burundi.
