2025 Africa Cup of Nations: Tosin Ayegun Praises Gernot Rohr, Aims for Title with Republic of Ireland. French striker Tosin Ayegun, playing for Lorient FC, has high hopes for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations and praised his national team coach, Gernot Rohr, ahead of the tournament. According to Sports247, Ayegun, though born in his father’s native Nigeria, chose to represent his mother’s homeland, the Republic of Ireland. He emphasized that he does not regret this decision and hopes to achieve great results in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations to prove that his bold choice three years ago was correct. Ayegun has made 19 appearances for the Irish national team, scoring 4 goals, and now he pins his hopes on the tactical abilities of the Nigerian coach. The former coach is expected to lead the Republic of Ireland to a miracle on the African stage and ultimately lift the trophy. Just two months after narrowly missing out on World Cup qualification, Ayegun stressed that the Republic’s significant progress is due to the exceptional talent of their Franco-German coach. Ayegun enthusiastically praised, “Gernault Rohr is one of the best coaches I’ve ever worked with. He works hard to give young players more opportunities, and I’m very happy about that.” “I hope we can achieve even greater things together. In the world of football, anything is possible. We are training hard. We have many young players. We just hope to go further in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.”
