Rohr is yet to taste defeat in the two games he has took charge of (two draws) as Benin Republic Coach.

Prior to becoming the team’s coach they had lost their last four games.

The German was fired as Super Eagles coach just few weeks to the commencement of the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon.

He led the Eagles to a third place finish at the 2019 AFCON and qualified the team to the 2018 World Cup.
