Gernot Rohr resigned as Niger national coach accepting the blame for the poor results that sees them lying bottom of their qualifying group for the 2015 CAF Africa Cup of Nations.
The 61-year-old German -- who spent the majority of his career either playing or coaching in France and guided Bordeaux to the 1996 UEFA Cup final -- added their cause would have been helped no end if his employers had been more amenable to his demands as to how best to prepare the team.

Rohr, who has been in charge since September 2012 but asked to stay on when his contract terminated in August this year, said he left on good terms.
Niger, who qualified for the previous two Africa Cup of Nations, have garnered just two points from their qualifying matches and meet Cape Verde in their next game in November and round the qualifiers off at home to Mozambique.
